JWR couldn’t care less about the 100,000/50,000 Canadian jobs and contracts for in province companies like the coop, no care about those across the country job not her FN peoples, all she cares about is her and her father’s territorial claims being sovereign...not a flippant chance!

Jody Wilson-Raybould and the SNC Lavalin Story:

Fact 1. JWR's husband is the son of ultra conservative and founder of the Fraser Institute.

Fact 2. JWR has been receiving twitter messages with Georganne Burke.

Georganne Burke is one of at least three senior members of Scheer’s campaign team that have now been linked to the so-called alt-right or anti-Islam groups. Scheer’s Campaign Manager, Hamish Marshall, was a director of Rebel Media, an alt-right media outlet that pushes narratives of white genocide and hosts prominent alt-right figures, and worked out of the Rebel offices during the campaign. He has been named as a campaign chair for the 2019 general election.

Fact 3. SNC has the contract for Site C and TMX, and JWR's father is very opposed to both.

Fact 4. JWR should have advised the PM that she was biaised when it came to SNC.

Time to investigate JWR by the Ethics Commissioner and both BC and Ontario Law Associations For unethically recording the Clerk as a Minister of Justice. Something to think about.

The worst scandal was Harper selling out our billion dollar business to someone in Libya? For a lousy 15 million dollars. Harper threw us under a bus so many times. She used her power trip over being given a big opportunity with the liberals. We all wanted her gone, she wasn’t there for the right reasons. She had the power to overthrow our PM and the Métis people,

Jane Philpott? She is a born loser, she was there as a cheap political fixer for her friend

JWR is queen of innuedo and drama. She did not do her job. Two important functions of an AG are 1) charge BUT in the process 2) consider the "public good". She REFUSED to consider the "pubic good" - the effect of preventing SNC of getting contracts for 10 years. SNC is Canada's largest construction company (think James Bay Project, etc.) SNC employs 50,000. It would have had disastrous effects on them in lost wages, pensions, etc. and also on investors, sub-contractors, etc. == The issue involved a decade old issue regarding only ONE of their division in Libya. No execs from that time were even around. All companies from UK, US, France, Germany, Italy doing work in the Middle East and Africa paid bribes to get contracts. That is how it worked. NO BAKSHISH, NO CONTRACT. == She REFUSED to consider that SNC had put in strict ethics standards after one of their own execs defrauded the company during the same time period. She REFUSED to consider a DPA that many countries have. It involves more than a huge fine. === All the drama playing up to the press. Daddy jumping in even though they hadn't spoken for 2 years == Truth is not based on innuendo and drama. == End game? She is politically aggressive. Think she was after leadership of the Liberal Party. And she and her father with no doubt her very conservative husband we’re gonna take advantage over the Métis having any rights. People there couldn’t get along with both of them. Jody left a innocent man’s file on her desk. Then there they are dining with Warren the lying reporter

Bingo. Trudeau is typically ruthless when he needs to be. Han Dong would have been out of the caucus and Trudeau would not have hesitated to throw him under the bus to show being tough on China. Trudeau would also have used the opportunity to enforce caucus discipline.

But this thing tells us something else. Cooper’s sources are pretty junior in the organization. He or she doesn’t get the full picture (an initial translation issues was corrected without their knowledge). He or she also did not understand that CSIS would never instruct the Liberal party to not sign the nomination papers, but that this would be presented as information to be taken into account with many caveats.

I suspect CSIS has already a fairly short list of potential candidates for the the leaker of decade award. Now it is time to catch him or her with evidence that will stand up in a criminal trial.

It's not about the story it's about getting Trudeau out of office. Notice how after the lawsuit and the corrections Cooper went to Audi reporting (Thank goodness, I had wanted that all along!) and Global went with the hotel room thing (who cares?). This is a click-driven business and Global is part of a failing industry; simply put people can fact-check near immediately these days and experts are available at the drop of a hat. That means that Global would have to pay _more_ for actual vetting and research before they break.

What do you think is more likely, that Global news improves their standards or that they just let someone like Cooper run wild?

P.S. I don't think the PMO gives a shit about Fife or media in general. They have a budget next week and that'll change the channel. Fife has failed to deliver a CPC minority or majority so...

Why was Han Dong speaking to the Chinese consulate in the middle of an election? What did they tlk about, and what was the result, if any? Why was CSIS so exercised about this conversation? They may have gotten the details wrong -- there may indeed have been a mistranslation -- but if so, what was the correct translation? Why has Dong left the Liberal caucus to sit as an independent, and for how long? Is there an investigation under way, or will there be one, that might clear Mr. Dong of inappropriate conduct?

So many questions, so few answers... Perhaps the Prime Minister should call a public inquiry to clear the air? No, there's no controlling what a public inquiry might find. Better to stonewall, and if necessary, delay. Until Canadians' short attention span turns to other things. If all else fails, prorogue Parliament once the budget is passed.

Lack of transparency increases my cynicism.
