I’m writing about another liberal scandal because this one I came know about through a Globe & Mail Column. But since then, has been shut downed and denied by the Prime Minister, his Office (PMO), his current Attorney General David Lametti who appeared on camera on CTV’s Question Period, denying any wrongdoing and saying that an investigation is not necessary because there was no wrongdoing, And also his former AG Jody Wilson Raybould who refused to cooperate with the PMO and as a result, wound being fired as Attorney General and demoted to Minister of Veterans Affairs. I’m saying this because this is how I think it happened. This is the truth.
Justin Trudeau is lying, and is trying to cover-up the Truth.
The Trudeau government is lying and is now in fact trying to hide and cover up the truth to protect itself. I don’t tolerate this from any politician or government. SNC Lavalin, A big financial supporter of the liberal party of Canada, had bribery charges laid against it under the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, and if convicted, it could be banned from doing business with Ottawa for 10 years. How’s that for having friends in High Places. It asked Ms. Wilson-Raybould to persuade the Public Prosecution Service of Canada to let SNC Lavalin reach a negotiated “remediation agreement” to avoid being convicted. A negotiated settlement to avoid a penalty of non-negotiation with the most powerful, most influential place in the Country. Parliament. Ottawa.
I’d call that a good motive for a Scandal.
Without a settlement, it could result in eventual bankruptcy for the giant engineering Company who has construction projects Worldwide. I looked up the government website on lobbying in Ottawa and looked into SNC Lavalin contacts with the government. Here’s what I found: Bruce Neil is the President and CEO of SNC. They’ve had 60 meetings, last updated from November 20, 2018. The thing being negotiated is not money but legislation to be proposed on I guess, things that are beneficial to the Company.
Also read this under Policies and Regulations: Canadian international development via Global Affairs Canada (GAC) re policies on funding international development projects; on every available occasion advocate GAC to manage more of its own development resources and open more of its projects to untied competitive bidding by private sector firms as is the practice other aid agencies such as UK’s Department for International Development (DFID)
So what does that mean? If SNC wants to build a bridge in some place like Australia, United States, the government will offer funding for such international projects, this, to compete with other international companies (who bid for the same project say), and compete for the almighty buck worldwide. It is a construction Company, so it’s capable of building. The Site also says that SNC does not receive government funding. BUT, this is a big But, It does receive funding. But it doesn’t ask for things like Corporate Welfare like Air Canada has, it receives money for issues like projects it wants to build in the future. That’s not so bad I guess. It depends on what you’re asking for. I also think that this legislation is fair, and is meant for other Companies, or more Competition. That may be the good news of all this.
Nevertheless, the Attorney General at the time, appears to have wanted nothing to do with Plea bargain and she blew off requests from the PMO to get the remediation agreement agreed too. The result was that she was moved, and David Lametti, another Attorney at law, took her place. Ms. Wilson Raybould is the key to this. As she left, she wrote an unprecedented public letter where she spoke sincerely about some things, and spoke about being under pressure from above. At the time her letter didn’t make sense.
Her demotion is the smoking gun.
This could have been handled better. Ms. Wilson-Raybould could have overruled the prosecution office, as long as she did it in writing and a notice about it was published in the Canada Gazzette. The argument could have been made that SNC Lavalin is a large Company based in Quebec employing many employees, and bankruptcy now, or in the future would have been catastrophic for the Company, and Quebec. There’s political points here too.
But, Justin Trudeau told the Justice Minister and Attorney General to look the other way. This all caused a legislation to cover up for a Company on bribery charges, a Prime Minister who denied any wrongdoing, David Lametti who says an investigation nor a parliamentary meeting is not necessary cause nothing’s wrong, A Cabinet shuffle, and the truth to be shoveled under the carpet. Trust this Government?
I don’t think so.
If you’re reading this, you should know right from wrong. Politics from Scandal. You know when the government is up to something and I smell brewing. They were almost caught, but they denied it, covered it up, they bound Ms. Wilson-Raybould from speaking on grounds of client/attorney privilege because she was the Attorney General and is, even now bound by secrecy. Now she’s not allowed to speak about this publicly. Not to the media, her constituents, her friends or family, social media, or Question Period. Incidentally, the day the Opposition pounded the Government in Question Period over this Scandal in the making, Justin Trudeau was not there. He was in Toronto. And of course he took questions over this and he denied any wrongdoing, and called the piece in the Globe & Mail false. It takes a little thing like a newspaper column to pick up a story, which may lead to a scandal.
The Globe & Mail is a liberal supporting newspaper.
But, they are very good at what they do, which is unlike the liberal supporting Toronto Star, who if they’d found out, would have sat on it, and eventually shoved it under the carpet. Which is why they’re not a good media outlet, because this could have resulted in more newspapers being sold. More money! Isn’t that the idea? Well, they won’t be getting it this time. The Globe & Mail, National Post, and Toronto Sun will be getting it.
Anyways, I believe I know the truth about this. And it is enough to make a decision on. I wouldn’t vote for these liberals in the election coming this October. You may want to. But if you do and they end up back in power, well, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of any scandals from this group of crooks. In the last election, Justin Trudeau went on and on about change for the better. More and more and change and change and better and better. Is this better? I wouldn’t believe it.
