SNC Lavalin also up to their jowls in the site C and many other BC Hydro projects.

With some comments of my own in brackets):
RCMP were blocked from fully investigating Trudeau's office on SNC obstruction claims

We now have it confirmed: The RCMP have been investigating the possibility that someone in the Trudeau government obstructed justice in the SNC-Lavalin case.
The news was revealed in a bombshell report by the Globe and Mail issued less than 12 hours before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was to visit Rideau Hall and kick off the 2019 election.
(In other words- Our idiot Boy Justin successfully ran out the clock and slipped into election mode -just before cops came calling to investigate!! And cops do not investigate political parties in mid election - for fear of influencing the results - so the Lavalin Mess is lurking out there - waiting for Parliament to resume!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And isnt it ODD that in 2015 it took 2 weeks for LIE-berals to set up their govt- but this time around it will take FOUR weeks to get rolling!! LIE-berals are playing out the clock yet again and hoping for some MIRACLE that will enable their lame duck minority to survive!!!!!!!!!)
(At this point there is virtually NO political action that LIE-berals can take that their idiot cousins - the Greenies and NDPess will not be able to take credit for - at the expense of LIE-berals!! Greenies and NDPees will point to ANY action on affordable housing, public transit, childcare, native issues etc and point out that LIE-berals HAD FOUR YEARS to implement the changes- and DID NOTHING - until Greenies and NDPees were elected- the idiot cousins are determined to steal LIE-beral thunder in a desperate struggle for votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This isn’t a matter of speculation or partisan spin. This isn’t something that Liberal supporters can dismiss as people inventing a scandal where there is none. We know the RCMP have been looking into the matter because they have been interviewing people involved in the case and seeking documents.
And the government has blocked them from doing so.
That is the shocking part.
(It is worth recalling that our Federal Attorney General Wilson-Raybould was apparently FIRED FROM HER JOB simply because she INSISTED the LIE-beral solution to Lavalin WAS ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The Clerk of the Privy Council has determined that cabinet confidence is more important than a police investigation into obstruction of justice in a case involving corruption. Ian Shugart, the clerk, invoked cabinet confidence to block the Mounties from talking to people.
(Invoking cabibet confidence sounds like one of those Constitutional CRISIS DEALS that LIE-berals so often create - at OUR EXPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
That was confirmed to the Globe not only by a spokesman for the justice department but also a spokesman for Trudeau himself.
Ian MacLeod, the spokesman for justice, told the Globe the decision not to give a broader waiver for cabinet confidence “was made solely by the Clerk of the Privy Council as guardian of cabinet confidences.” Trudeau’s spokesman, Cameron Ahmad, told the paper that the PMO had no role in the decision.
Except they did, they backed it up.
(In other words a NON ELECTED civil service union HOG who is SUPPOSED to be NON PARTISAN - is a KEY PLAYER in the LIE-beral defence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Here is a simple fact, the PM could waive this issue of cabinet confidence and allow people to speak freely to the police if he is so convinced that no crime has been committed.
He won’t though.
(And WE NEED to ask WHY HE WONT?? Is it his intent to HIDE EVIDENCE OF A CRIME?? OR is he simply THAT ARROGANT AND ENTITLED that he is willing to block the cops simply on some principle?? Or- more worryingly- IS THERE EVIDENCE of other crimes beyond Lavalin that Our idiot Boy is AFRAID WILL COME TO LIGHT???????????????????????)
(LIE-berals have quietly dumped the Admiral Norman witch hunt as the trial and evidence moved in directions LIE-berals did not like - using that same Cabinet Confidence Crap!! This Tax payer believes that a THOROUGH political HOUSE CLEANING by determined cops IS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Trudeau supported blocking nine different witnesses from giving full testimony to the ethics commissioner and the refusal to turn over documents for that investigation. He’s now backed up the decision to block the RCMP.
TOM MULCAIR: Progressive voters, betrayed by Trudeau, weigh the alternatives
(And NDPees see advantage and new voter support in this - meaning the LIE-beral minority cannot count on NDPees for support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
OLIVER: Trudeau’s latest ethical breach may be his last
Essentially Trudeau is supporting the obstruction of an investigation into obstruction of justice.
(LIE-berals have dived DEEP into the rabbit hole on this one!! They CLAIM they are saving Lavalin jobs but they ARE SILENT about all the jobs LOST at competing engineering firms that could not beat Lavalin bribery!! And the Quebec Charbonneau Inquiry HEARD TESTIMONY THAT MULTIPLE ENGINEERING FIRMS were involved in bid rigging IN CANADA!! Too bad Charbonneau did not have the mandate to follow up that damning testimony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
No doubt the PM will be asked about this and once again invoke his support for our democratic institutions and the rule of law. Yet it is those very things that Trudeau is mocking by blocking a House of Commons committee, the ethics commissioner and now the RCMP from fully investigating this matter.
On that cold February morning when Trudeau first faced questions on the SNC-Lavalin scandal, I stood there in a commuter parking lot just feet away from him as he denied the story completely.
Since then, as new elements have come out, as the original story was confirmed, Trudeau has changed his own story of what happened. When that didn’t work with the public, he started using his power to shut down every attempt to examine the facts in this matter.
Shutting down the House of Commons committee can be dismissed as partisan politics. Denying the ethics commissioner full access to witnesses and documents was wrong and petulant.
But blocking the RCMP is Putinesque.
(Oh yes- comparing Our idiot Boy to Russian dictator Putin is FAIR!! Our idiot Boy apparently aspires to be a Soviet Socialist Dictator in the style of Cuban butcher Fidel Catro - his BELOVED FAMILY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
According to the Globe, the RCMP will put any examination of this issue on hold during the election. If Trudeau wins on Oct. 21, the Mounties will be blocked from investigating permanently.
Do Canadians want a system where the PM and his office are above the law?
We know Trudeau does, he’s told us that with his actions. On Oct. 21 we will find out what Canadians think.
(It will be up to the other parties to keep the Lavalin scandal alive!! WE can count on Conservatives not to forgive or forget!! But what of NDPees?? I have said before that the “Do Nothing Brigade” is FIRMLY IN CHARGE in Ottawa and the Lavalin mess will be yet another excuse for our govt to sit on its hands- and not rock the boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Our politicians are going to DITHER as long as they can while our debts mount, while infrastructure crumbles, while criminals shoot up our streets and while the number of illegals grows steadily along with the cost of caring for them - THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals care nothing for the CHAOS they have caused in Alberta over oil exports and they have FORGOTTEN the Yankee softwood lumber tariffs that are forcing B.C. lumber mills to close!! The anger and fiscal trouble their HATED carbon tax SCAM is generating does not worry them!! The Do Nothing Brigade is going to sit like the three monkeys - see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil till some unexpected crisis throws them out of office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
