About That Claim of Solicitor-Client Privilege…..

Does it really stand?

It is unclear how Wilson-Raybould can claim privilege in this case given that in matters of criminal prosecution the attorney general represents the Crown and not the Government of Canada or the PMO. Lawyers I spoke to, including past attorneys general, had differing opinions on the matter.

Big Education at Work

The Ontario Liberals more than doubled spending on elementary and high schools during their time in office. Why? A bursting at the seems system. Nope…

In 2004 there were 112,235 teachers overseeing 2,129,742 students in the province’s elementary and secondary schools. In 2018, by the time the Liberals left, we had 125,980 teachers plus 9,054 early childhood educators overseeing 2,020,301 students.

As always, there’s more….and it will shock.

Trudeau and the Special Treatment of Quebec

Oh and Legault also said that before immigration levels rise in Quebec he wants a language test and a values test in place.

If Ontario made that same list of demands it would be mere seconds until Gerry Butts, the PM’s top adviser, begins calling Doug Ford a Nazi on Twitter.

Legault got a meeting.
