  1. Liberal chair of finance committee tries to pull Conservative MP’s mic so he can’t talk about SNC-Lavalin

    “Could I get a technician in here to pull his mic?” asked Liberal chair Wayne Easter as Conservative vice-chair Pierre Poilievre remained in high dudgeon.

    What are the Liberals afraid of? I think we know. They don’t the truth to get out.

    1. They are afraid:
      a) that the corruption in Quebec will become common knowledge in Canada.
      b) that the Liberals efforts to pressure JWR to let SNC off the hook will be fully exposed. That’s why Turdeau won’t release JWR from solicitor-client privilege.
      c) that the Liberals attempt to interfere in the Mark Norman trail will be exposed. Just like the distruction of documents that occurred in the Ontario gas plant scandal, document distruction is going on in the Norman case.

      Butts said he did nothing wrong. Then why did he quit? Must be to try and hide Turdeau’s wrong doing. How soon before we hear the line “I am not a crook”?

      On the first day Turdeau specifically said the Globe’s story of pressure being applied to JWR was false. Two days ago the Clerk of the Privy Council said pressure was applied. So who is lying?

      1. So who is lying? I could easily win a million on ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ answering that question. It’s the LIE-berals.

    1. What a convenient co incidence that the NEB issued their report “approving” the pipeline yesterday. Now could we have an enquiry to establish whether they were “pressured” to release this. Look a Librano squirrel. Mr. Werniak, that shining pillar of virtue, who stands on guard for us, should be asked if he discussed this with the NEB.

    1. joe, one thing I have observed in my fairly long life is the word logic can never be used in the same sentence with the words, liberal, socialist, green, ecology, weather, climate……..

    2. If I’m not mistaken you can spend less time waiting for a Canadian pipeline then you can waiting for a BC ferry.

  2. We can be sure Butts and company know some of the old stuff is going to hit the fan and there’s a reason he quit we are not privy to….yet. The Libranos are worried, they don’t want to hear any truths, not even Jody Wilson Raybould’s.

    For sure old fart Wayne Easter of Spud Island wouldn’t want to hear from Pierre Poilievre who is very articulate and knows of what he speaks, getting too close to what they don’t want to be heard, asking questions they refuse to answer. Pierre is one of the brightest MP’s in the HOC.

  3. Prevent assassinations this election, join Team Trudeau!

    This message brought to you by the Clerk Of The Privy Council Of Canada.

  4. Groper continues his taxpayer funded election tour in Toronto today. He will be meeting with union leaders. The meetings are closed to the media. And the Globe and Mail reports that little Justin was upset that the former AG wanted to make the selection of judges more independent and less political.

    1. Bet you anything Canada now has an amazing New Budget Surplus!

      The Media, Women who always vote for hair, grateful illegal immigrants, 40 to 60 percent illiteracy, amazing financial legerdemain and pusillanimous opposition are just a few of the reasons for Jussie’s assured re-election.

      Canada has been sentenced to at least 20 years of Hard Stupidity.

      Oh Venezuela here we come……….thank you ladies.

  5. Article from CBC on the gun violence in Toronto and the victim’s families wanting guns banned.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/danforth-shooting-families-speak-1.5028044

    Of course we can see why the families have stepped forward. They want something done to end these tragedies.

    We also know that banning guns doesn’t work as most of the violence is committed by gang members (or the odd terrorist) who use illegal weapons.

    But what interested me was the comments section (unusual for CBC to allow these under tragic situations). Most commenters thought a gun ban wouldn’t help.

    Within the article the police report that their investigation into the Danforth shooting is complete (after 7 months) but they haven’t released any details.

    And of course they refer to the terrorist as a “gunman” and the terrorist attack as “a mass shooting”.

    1. If there were 50 “mass shootings” a year in Canada (one a week) by legal gun owners people would be marching in the streets. If it was all caused by “mental illness” hardly anyone would stop marching to ban guns. But it would also mean that .0025% of the gun owning population had a mental health issue. I would say that’s a pretty low rate compared to the rest of the population.
      The Ramavan dude killed 5 times as many people.
      Out and about, I never even consider gunplay even though it happens in my neighbourhood, but I am vigilant about vehicles when I walk the streets, especially in downtown Ottawa.

      1. Make murder illegal? That would stop it but then those who support infant genocide would be upset.

  6. Jeffery Shilling, former CEO of Enron, is released after 12.5 years in prison.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/former-enron-ceo-released-from-custody-1.5029481

    “Houston-based Enron collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001 after years of illicit business deals and accounting tricks that put more than 5,000 people out of work, eliminated over $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered worthless $60 billion in Enron stock.”

    Imagine putting that on your CV.

  7. http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/jihadi-jack-isis-suspect-says-he-wants-to-come-home-to-uk-but-no-one-cares/ar-BBTXGZB?li=AAggFp5&ocid=ASUDHP
    If the British refuse to take Jihadi Jack by revoking his citizenship because he has dual citizenship and they can’t make a person stateless, then Canada would be his destination.
    His parents sent him money saying he was doing charity work.
    What will Goodale say and do?
    We know Juthtin thinks returning ISIS members “can be a strong voice in the community.”

    1. Goodale will say “a Canadian is a Canadian, is a Canadian and that means they will be allowed back
      Hell they may even sue us.

      1. $10 M here, $10 M there, and pretty soon you’re talking Lieberal majority in the next election.

        1. It took 13 years of The Cretin and that which we never mention(Adscam) to get a minority Conservative government.

          Do you really think The Media Party will allow that again?

          The ongoing coup in the US was successful in Canada a long time ago.

          The entire country is infested with Liberals from top to bottom.

          The Deep State thy name is Liberal.

  8. Why did Butts leave?

    Key members of Turdeau’s cabinet and the Liberal caucus told Turdeau that either Butts leaves or they would no longer support Turdeau.

    Just my theory, but given the animosity between many (most) of the Liberal caucus and Butts, I think it fits.

    Is there political interference in the SNC-LAVALIN mess and the Mark Norman trial? Yes, but the rest of the Liberals will now try to brazen it out. They figure they’ll promise billions of new benefits in the election; e.g. free drug care, free university tuition, etc. and they will be re-elected.

    1. Butts was not elected. The cabinet members are. Seems fair to assume they are nervous about the upcoming election and don’t think Butts’ strategy will help them get re-elected. My opinion is the average Canadian is a voting moron. They default to Liberal by choice unless the Liberals are so incompetent that they vote Conservative (outside Alberta). The East Coast, Ottawa and Toronto vote Liberal to get the gravy train. Outside of these areas the Liberals are heading into troubled waters. The Butts strategy of feminism, climate change, and racism isn’t working any more.

    1. Could this have something to do with British and American web-based realtors entering the Canadian market?

      1. “Could this have something to do with British and American web-based realtors entering the Canadian Market?”

        The article mentions nothing more than an amalgamation of several regional Real Estate Boards. I doubt that US or British Web based realtors entering the Canadian Market makes any difference in the status quo.

        The law is that all realtors must be licensed in the province where they are listing a property for sale or selling a property. Otherwise if they have business in another province, state or country where they are not licensed, they must refer the business to a brokerage in said area and obtain a referral fee, a.k.a. ‘a quid pro quo.’

        The only time one may sell Real Estate without a license is when one sells one’s own property. In the business it is known as a
        F.S.B.O. or a.k.a. “for sale by owner.”

  9. Assassin Rex Murphy has another good story on Groper’s scandal at the National Post website today.

  10. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/off-island-gazette/new-vaudreuil-dorion-library-books-7-3-million-in-government-funding

    It seems to be a McGill ghetto @ the PMO.
    Trudeau somehow found $2.4 million for grant money for the riding of his Parliamentary Secretary to PM for the Youth Affairs Minister, Peter Schiefke. This 2015 newly elected MP is an environmentalist and was formerly the National Director of Climate Reality Canada. He was tied to Al Gore. (See more info Wikipedia- He is a singer too, with a hit song : ” Sauve-Moi”)

    Hmm, National Director of Climate Reality Canada…see how the Gang Green creates jobs, nice work if you know the right people.

    1. https://youtu.be/sNC4gzJl254
      Sauve-Moi (Save Me) is not about saving anyone from so called pollution!

      ” Save me, the solitude is killing me”… goes the song! the MP appears in the video see him at 0:41.

      Save yourself Peter, find yourself a job with a pension. Better win the next election. Trudeau made you any promises?

      The scam artists are hard at work in Québec!

  11. Opponents of the Trans Mountain pipeline were quick to cite a potential 7-fold increase in tanker traffic should the pipeline be approved. While that may be accurate, what they failed to mention is the increase would mean going from 5 tankers a month to 35 (420 annually). What is completely absent from their condemnation of anything oil, is the recently announced increase of 2,700 annual sailings by BC Ferries, from 79,082 to 81,782. Where’s the outrage over that statistic?

    1. From the party of “Budgets will balance themselves” comes the oxymoron seven fold increase in tanker traffic. The Trans Mountain Pipeline will increase capacity by 300% but the increased tanker traffic to transport this capacity increase will required a 700% rise in tanker traffic. The only way that this is possible is if the tankers are only half full when they leave Vancouver.

  12. Heh…The Altering of the Deal

    Plus ‘not socialist’ 8 billion in subsidy to farmers…

    An additional 10 million tons over the 0 they were buying after Trump’s trade screwup are still a LOT less than the 36 million they were buying a couple years ago. You don’t praise an arsonist for picking up a garden hose & helping put out a fire s/he started.

  13. I forgot a significant date in Canadian history. This past Wednesday was the 60th anniversary of the cancellation of the Avro Arrow.

    A buddy of my late father was a fighter jock who flew for the RCAF. He apparently had an opportunity to sit inside the Arrow’s simulator and he was impressed. Because of the cancellation, Diefenbaker was not that chap’s favourite prime minister.
