Pierre Poilievre is by no means the first person to raise concerns about RCMP covering up of Trudeau/Liberal scandals. And it’s not like there is a lack of evidence to take to trial.
But hey, we did get an apology….

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.
Transparency watchdog Democracy Watch has released a second trove of RCMP investigative records, alleging that they raise profound concerns about political interference in the national police force’s probe of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government. The records pertain to allegations that Trudeau and senior Cabinet officials pressured then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, with one Trudeau aide explicitly stating that intervention was necessary “to help the Liberals get re-elected.”…
Newly surfaced evidence, including Wilson-Raybould’s own RCMP interview, indicates that the pressure campaign may have met the threshold for criminal obstruction charges. The thousands of pages of records further suggest that Trudeau’s top aides sought to resolve the SNC-Lavalin affair in a way that would protect the government’s electoral fortunes.
In one portion of her RCMP interview, Wilson-Raybould told investigators, “You can look at the Criminal Code around obstruction charges…” but the remainder of her comment is redacted.
“Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jessica Prince and Jane Philpott should be asked what exactly they told the RCMP that the RCMP is still hiding,” said Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch.

The RCMP yesterday acknowledged it never interviewed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or had access to secret cabinet records before dismissing obstruction charges in the SNC-Lavalin Group scandal. The admission came under questioning at the Commons ethics committee: “We still don’t know to this day all the information that is out there.”
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.

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.
Ontario Power Generation recently signed up with the companies that are going to build its first small modular reactor. One of them is SNC-Lavalin.
And for those who don’t remember, SNC-Lavalin built the Boundary Dam 3 Carbon Capture Project. That didn’t work out as well as hoped. But we might not much choice in the matter.
A federal department briefing note says that organized crime is suspected to be operating in the public sector, although the specific federal offices that are allegedly involved went unnamed.
“It is also suspected that organized crime groups are also involved in areas of the public sector,” said the memo from the Department of Public Safety, titled “Organized Crime” and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter through Access to Information.
The note estimated about 26 criminal gangs to be active “within Canadian public sector agencies or departments.”
“According to the Criminal Intelligence Service of Canada [CISC] the principal motivating factors for corruption in the sector are familial connections, romantic relationships and monetary benefits,” it said.
Yes, and one of these shadowy organizations operates as the Liberal Party of Canada. Speaking of which, has Jerry Diaz been charged with anything yet?
Great moments in Liberal corruption.
Quebec prosecutors have received court approval for a deferred prosecution agreement with Canadian engineering giant SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., the first such deal since the new legal mechanism became law in 2018.
Judge Éric Downs of the Quebec Superior Court sanctioned the agreement in a verbal decision on Wednesday afternoon, thereby settling criminal charges against the company related to a bridge contract in Montreal two decades ago. The judge said he would publish a detailed written decision later.
“We’ve reached a point now where this company has an integrity program that’s exemplary,” prosecutor Francis Pilotte said. “There really was no reason not to offer them an agreement. [The law] was made for cases like this.”
The corporate entities of SNC-Lavalin Inc. and SNC-Lavalin International Inc., as well as two former senior executives of the Quebec-based firms have been charged with a series of fraud and forgery offenses by the RCMP.
Sorry — elected. They always get their man elected.
