The Libranos: SNC Lavalin Returns From The Grave

Democracy Watch: Public inquiry needed into RCMP’s national command coverup

“The records show the RCMP is a negligently weak lapdog that rolled over for Prime Minister Trudeau by doing a very superficial investigation into his Cabinet’s obstruction of the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, not trying to obtain key secret Cabinet communication records, and burying the investigation with an almost two-year delay,” said Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch. “The RCMP also misled the public by claiming it wasn’t investigating, violated the open government law by keeping investigation records secret much longer than is allowed, and is refusing to disclose the legal details why no one was prosecuted.”

“Given pressure by the Prime Minister and Cabinet officials to obstruct a prosecution is a situation that has not been revealed publicly before, and given no past court ruling makes it clear that the RCMP and Crown prosecutors could not win a prosecution, they should have tried to get a search warrant for secret Cabinet communications, and prosecuted so a judge could decide in an open court whether obstruction had occurred instead of making a behind-closed-doors and very questionable decision to cover up their investigation,” said Conacher.

Bumped for more from Dan Knight.

The pages we do have tell a tale of sloth-like efficiency. Over four years—yes, years—the RCMP spoke to a grand total of three witnesses. Were they expecting these witnesses to come carolling at RCMP headquarters, hot chocolate in hand? It seems that due diligence was put on ice, perhaps indefinitely.

They called their lukewarm endeavors an “assessment” rather than an “investigation,” as if they were grading a sixth-grade book report instead of probing into the alleged corruption at the highest levels of our government. The verbal gymnastics here could win an Olympic medal, but they also deceived Canadians.

Now, the RCMP had what they needed to press on with obstruction of justice charges. Even a rookie lawyer fresh out of a Canadian law school would salivate at the prospects of this case. But what do they do? Suddenly, the goalposts move, and they decide they need proof of “a corrupt intent to interfere” before any prosecution could occur. This convenient shifting of standards smells more fishy than a Newfoundland trawler.

  1. Another day, another cover-up. The RCMP does not want to find the guilty, but would rather do nothing and get paid for it. They need to be disbanded because they are complicit and care nothing for the rule of law or justice.

    1. Funny how the RCMP is looking into FILTHY conservative Doug Ford’s Land Sale in the “greenbelt”.

      I’m sure they will do a thorough investigation of Conservatives. (in name only).

      During an emergency flood event, The FILTHY RCMP used the Gun Registry list and boats and kicked in the front doors of houses, in High River, Alberta, They Destroyed Doors (some were $4000 Doors) and entered flood victims houses and STOLE Properly Stored Firearms and seized 500,000 rounds of ammo. They left the front doors destroyed, wide open for animals or strangers to enter. Nothing happened to them, it was obvious they are the new enforcement arm like the FBI in the US.
      I pray for a day of Reckoning for these Bastards in the FILTHY LIBERAL PARTY

  2. But they are very good at inflating the cost of local policing, trampling peaceful protests, ignoring violent protests, excuses, and carrying luggage at unofficial boarder crossings.

  3. And the media will continue to howl that it’s imperative that rural Alberta, and rural Canada , be under the control of the RedCoats.
    The big cities can have their own police forces, but the rednecks can’t.

  4. The bricks are starting to crumble in the wall Trudeau built to hide his criminality.
    This will make Adscam look like child’s play as all the scandals come home to roost.
    He, sock puppet, better end up in jail with the rest of the cabinet and senior bureaucrats involved.
    We want our country back NOW!
    And we are not even talking about COVID yet!!

    1. Colluding bunch of bastards…
      Nothing to see, move along.
      Everyone of them.
      None are saying…wait a second here.

  5. Look. Who has time for petty shit like SNC when you’re tracking down convoy supporters.

    1. “Look. Who has time for petty shit like SNC when you’re tracking down convoy supporters.”

      Even now the Red Star has a discussion on this, where several people are *still* trying to claim that JWR’s recording of the conversation was “illegal”. Still. Despite the fact that it was widely discussed at the time that Canadian law made that perfectly legal.

      People are actually citing the Criminal Code section and quoting the law itself. STILL doesn’t change their minds!

      An amazing display of cognitive dissonance.

  6. The RCMP is an arm of the Liberal Party of Canada.
    Just like the Federal Bureaucracy or the greater Justice System.
    And that is everything you need to know about the damned country.
    A politician who won’t state this publicly is damned as well.

    1. I agree totally. The RCMP does what it is told. It answers to the people who sign the paychecks.

    2. An arm of the LPC? Of course it is. We knew that from the way former RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki: 1. botched the handling of the Coastal Gas-Link protests; 2. botched the rail blockades in 2021, 3. botched the handling of the Truck strike in 2022, 4. was complicit in the political manipulation of Canada’s largest mass murder in Nova Scotia.

      This is a record of incompetence that nearly matches the sizzling non-achievements of Canada’s Bill Blair, the worst Minister of Defense since the utterly stupid Sam Hughes in 1914. (That clod did his best to get all Canadian soldiers in France killed in 1915 by equipping them with defective weapons made by the company he owned.)

  7. Finding the librano government criminally guilty of anything is not in the public interest

  8. I’m shocked, I tell you. Totally shocked. I didn’t see this coming AT all. And certainly never thought to predict it. /s

  9. The taxpayer piggy bank is being raided in all Western Nations. Soon. Nobody will be able to afford anything and our economies will grind to a halt. Then … the fun begins

  10. Liberal lackey:
    Dear Leader, I bring unpleasant news — deplorables at Democracy Watch have managed to re-animate one of the many skeletons in our closet, namely the SNC-Lavelin issue, which Jody Whatshername buggered-up by not playing ball with our top fixers, and the servants have damaged your Gaza Strip sparkle socks in the wash.
    Emperor Justine The Most Virtuous:
    Oh, no! We had assumed that the HorsesArses had buried it. Prepare a statement for me to proclaim our most perfect virtue, deny unequivocally any wrongdoing on our part and say that the whole affair has been most thoroughly reviewed, and if there had been any problem at all, it was all Jody’s fault. Put the best spin doctors on it right away. Identify any new enemies, and think about a diversionary issue or two. Issue an order immediately to do whatever it takes to smoke out any rats and put her / his / their heads on pikes at the Palace gates. Have the Imperial Treasurer issue decrees immediately to freeze and seize all the deplorables’ assets, round up our critics and put some of their heads on the pikes on the Palace gates too. Make sure our enemies list is updated.
    Now, about my socks — that’s a real humanitarian crisis…

  11. Yeah.
    Me too.
    Shocked I tell yah.
    That the RCMP are a corrupt political organization..
    Surprise surprise.
    Even though all their actions of the last 6 decades have proven them to be so..
    But they tell us that they “Serve and Protect” us,when their acts indicate they Serve and protect only themselves and their comrades in the Just Us System.
    Alberta and Saskatchewan have an instant replacement police force,when we finally fire these criminals..
    All us “Licensed Gun Owners” …All carefully vetted as honest and trustworthy..by the RCMP..
    Oopes.
    Maybe we should just randomly select from the Voters Lists.

  12. The RCMP are wife beating, child molesting sub human garbage. Every one of them would get on their knees and fellate Trudeau for $10

  13. L – Magna Carta, the law applies to the Crown and agents thereof, as to everyone else.

    Not available in Canada, a pity, “Where have all the Canadian patriots gone?”
    Are they all in hiding, hiding the guiding light of Liberty under a bushel basket?
    Where is that masculinity, so toxic to totalitarianism, when you really need it?

    “To Serve and Protect”
    Knights of the Realm: rescuing the motherland from the dragon of chaos and
    corruption, both foreign and domestic. “True patriot love, in all thy sons command.”

  14. We have officially become a “Banana Republic”! No democratic rules for our government and a corrupt police force!!

    Welcome to The Libranos shit show!!

  15. “a corrupt intent to interfere”
    Oh please. That’s straight out of James Comey’s playbook with respect to Hillary’s emails. Sure she had classified material among them but you have to prove intent you see.
    Such nonsense.

  16. Never in my lifetime have I seen such corruption and the corruption is so overt that even banana republic leaders are shaking their heads in disbelief.

    Billions of taxpayer money disappearing without a trace, conflict of interest the norm in awarding contracts, the obscene travel expenses while foodbank lineups grow, ignoring hostile foreign governments interference in elections, interference in police investigations, cabinet ministers neglecting their responsibilities without consequences, regularly embarrassing Canada on the world stage, vindictive policies against Alberta and Saskatchewan eroding national unity, abuse of power in the EA, human rights violations during covid , exploding debt and inflation…it goes on and on.

    The Trudeau Liberal-NDP government will be remembered as the worst Canadian government in history. It’ll take decades to repair the damage, if the damage can be repaired.

  17. Not surprised, they made no factual effort to investigate or attempt to collect evidence? It must be nice to have a armed police force at liberal disposal? I’m being forced to participate in a Stats Canada bogus survey and if I refuse they’ve informed me it’s a crime to refuse. We are wards of the corrupt state in Canada.
