“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

FELDSTED: Wernick is not elected and accountable to the public. The pompous ass deserves to be fired for overstepping his authority and attempting to shame an elected official in public


International Trade Diversification Minister Jim Carr isn’t saying whether he believes there was any undue pressure by officials on former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould in the SNC-Lavalin affair.  But he told the West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson he’s taking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at his word and hopes Canadians’ “reasonableness” will prevail.

“Canadians will have to make up their own minds,” said Carr, who the Prime Minister’s Office put up to answer questions on the matter.

Canadians are reasonable but not stupid. Contending that the Clerk of the Privy Council is non-partisan after the display he put on for the Commons Justice Committee is irrational.

Michael Wernick was reading straight from the PMO teleprompter, and as a public servant, had no authority to deride the Attorney General as he did. Wernick is not elected and accountable to the public. The pompous ass deserves to be fired for overstepping his authority and attempting to shame an elected official in public.

The SNC-Lavalin affair (or scandal) is not reasonable. Providing an escape from prosecution for crooked corporations is not in the public interest. Rescuing SCN -Lavalin is in the interest of Quebec, but not in the interests of Canada. There is a difference.   

Why is the Prime Minister’s office silent about the contractors who lost business because contracts for a Montreal bridge and hospital were secured by SNC-Lavalin bribes? Why were the jobs lost to those contractors not important? The doubletalk and double standards are sickening and unacceptable.

Under the Criminal Code, someone who accepts a bribe is just a guilty as the person who offers the bribe.

Saving CSN-Lavalin to keep Liberal votes in Quebec is bribery, offered and accepted. Whether the deal was or is completed is immaterial. The intent is there and both parties stood to gain.

The Premier of Quebec and the Mayor of Montreal are on thin ice and could be investigated for aiding and abetting in the criminal act of bribery.

The whole house of cards is trembling and many of us have taken out the popcorn and a libation while we watch the drama unfold. It is simultaneously humorous, ironic and satisfying watching some pompous twit trying to maintain his dignity while scraping poop from his shoe-soles. 

It is,  a grand social status leveler.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red
