Democracy Watch announced that it is filing an application in the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa today for approval from the court to proceed with a private prosecution of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for pressuring, and directing others to pressure, then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin in 2018 (now operating under the name “AtkinsRéalis”).
Wayne Crookes, founder of Integrity B.C., is a key supporter of the application.
The application includes a legal opinion by a retired superior court justice (who did the opinion on the condition of remaining anonymous) supporting prosecuting the PM for the allegation of obstruction of justice, and possibly also for breach of trust. The application also includes a “will say” document that summarizes the reasons for the application, and a summary of how the RCMP failed to investigate and uphold the law properly.
As detailed in Democracy Watch’s news release from yesterday, the RCMP’s internal records, obtained by DWatch and also included in today’s application, show that the RCMP’s investigation was weak, incomplete, delayed and buried for years, and amounts to an attempted cover up. The RCMP only interviewed four of 15 key witnesses, and is hiding key testimony from Wilson-Raybould, her Chief of Staff Jessica Prince, and her friend and confidante Jane Philpott. The RCMP also accepted the Trudeau Cabinet hiding key internal communication records, and trusted without question the biased, self-interested public statements of the PM and everyone else who pressured the AG.
Go get him. SO utterly disappointed with the RCMP.
Perfect timing.
How the Courts respond will poison the political playing field even further.
For the Just Us System of Can Ahh Duh is corrupt.
We are Kleptocracy.
And the entire system of government reflects this.
This, on the day Trudeau announces a high speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City to be built by, you guessed it, SNC Lavalin or whatever alias they’re using today.
Ha. Dan Aykroyd is on the advisory committee for Democracy Watch.
His new “mission from God.”
What took so long? This should have been done 4 years ago.
Too many Liberals in Democracy Watch objected at the time? Oooof.
And remember JWR is STILL a loyal, card holding LIEberal.
Probably took that long to FOIA the records, the government makes it hard to get information.
Could be. Then tied up in the courts for another 5 years or so, time enough for Blackie to pull a Maurice Strong, escaping to China. Or, thrown out because of Statute of Limitations.
The Liberal Family Compact strikes again.
Get the hot Ottawa Valley whores SNC Lavlin hired to blow Saadi Gadhafi on the stand to tell us who paid them, who picked them up and who dropped them off.
I doubt we’ll ever see any of those involved face a jury, the Just Us system protects the elites.

Canada drops another 3 points to 15th on the corruption scale:
“Canada Slides to Lowest-Ever Ranking in Corruption Perception Index”

I’m surprised that it’s rated that high, but it’s a “perception index” not a “reality index”
Makes sense,
In addition to being plain human garbage, the mounties are also corrupt. Can you imagine DOGE turned loose in Banada? What isn’t corrupt in this shithole?
All I really want is for Trudeau to have to hire his own lawyers, enough us paying for his corruption defense.
Who pays for the divorce?
