1. Not enough money going to Liberal pockets?

2. I’m surprised they haven’t merged the bank and SNC Lavalin.

3. Deja vu, again.

4. Nothing new under the sun.

5. So when is the Minister of Infrastructure, former Climate Barbie, who is responsible for this debacle going to to be shown the door? Repeat after me – forensic audit.

6. So reminiscent of that other chap that lost his job when he refused a loan to a golf course.

7. Portrait of Aladdin Zoolander as he admires the auspicious silver spoon found protruding from his orifice on the day of his birth.

   1. He must be double jointed to do that.

8. I work in communications. Press releases of this type are very rare, and are usually only issued when someone is removed abruptly from a post with cause, and must not be allowed to communicate directly with the press. The statements by the persons removed are usually drafted by a communications wonk, and say something along the lines of “It’s been great working for Company X. It’s a great organization.”

   This generally only happens if there is an ongoing court action or investigation. I wonder if our captive press will look into this.

   1. Short answer: no.

9. Caption for the photo: “I’m going to need a bigger shovel to get through this !”

10. “Oh, tho that’th what a thovel wookth wike. Gee, it wookth compwicated. I guethth you need a degwee in enginweewing in owdew to opewate it.”

    1. Nope, he’s probably trying to figure out how to lean on it. My brother solved this dilemma in a gift to our dad: The Ukrainian Shovel!

       It has a length of chain that replaces half the length of the handle so lazy bohunk can’t lean on it.

       Funny isn’t it?

       Lazy bohunk… lol

11. This reminds me of the funniest thing i ever saw on tv during an election.
    Way back when we had an election in the middle of the sponsorship scandal, duffy had a couple of liberal hacks on his show. They where pitching the idea of a Liberal run bank with great enthusiasm. Duffy look at them and said something along the lines of “So, in the middle of the greatest theft scandal ever caught of a political party, you want canadians to trust you with starting a bank that frankly sounds exactly like the sponsorship actions but involving Billions instead of millions?”.

    He had this smirk on and could not help laughing, I hadn’t laugh so hard in years. Wish i could find that clip. So it looks like that was the fist thing they did when they got back in power.

12. SNC Lavalin’s envelope was a little light two weeks in a row so Infrastructure Barbie had to give him the boot.

    1. Everyone was saying Infrastructure Barbie was a demotion for Climate Barbie. I disagreed on the basis that “infrastructure” is modern speak for swag, loot, treasure, and its distribution. It is a very important cabinet position; definitely a promotion.

13. The look on the turd dough’s face in the OP pic: “What on Earth is this?”
    It’s a spade, cretin. It used for working. Never heard of work either?

    1. Had the same thought 🙂

14. So predictable it’s almost surprising.

15. Pierre Lavallee, the ousted CEO of the CIB, donated roughly $2,500 to the federal party over the years, according to posted Election Canada records.

16. What is the Turd doing with a Mexican Backhoe…..Is that culture appropriation…racist

17. The money was stolen….like it always is under a librano government

18. “In as the new board chair is Michael Sabia, a former chief executive of the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec that is behind an electric-rail project in Montreal that the bank is backing.”
    “Sabia formerly served as CEO of BCE Inc. from 2002 through 2008. Sabia held a number of executive positions at Canadian National Railway during the 1990s, including the position of chief financial officer.”
    “His wife, Hilary Pearson, is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Lester Pearson.”

    Former guy was not sufficiently Liberal. New guy is a Laurentian Liberal through-and-through. The only saving grace is this Sabia guy has some private-sector business experience.

    1. Well, not quite. Pierre Lavallee is Liberal through and through. He’s onl;y out because of the minority government situation.

19. I have a simple question which strangely is never asked of politicians. Where did the money go? In this case, $186 billion! It’s not really deficit spending, it is looting. Chretien was a piker.
