Warren Kinsella: #LavScam shocker: the prosecutors react to Trudeau
An hour after the “Prime Minister” speaks, this. This is simply extraordinary. In all my years of lawyering, and trying to teach law, I have never seen something like this. It is the clearest indication, yet, what the Canadian justice system thinks about Justin Trudeau’s repeated efforts to obstruct justice.

//percolate.blogtalkradio.com/offsiteplayer?hostId=711695&episodeId=11232575 I sat down for a wide ranging chat with Canada Glen (@canadianglen) about the United We Roll convoy and the SNC Lavalin story, it is actually quite fair, and the deep analysis into these stories that I wish corporate media would have done. The way Canadian mainstream media has

I’ll be on CTV Your Morning today around 7, after Trudeau speaks this morning, and also doing the radio tying over on the mighty Newstalk 1010. This is the sort of thing I’ll be talking about: it didn’t go well, yesterday. At all. Editorial board of the New York Times:

Here is the nub of the problem facing PM Trudeau and his advisors: his claim of huge job losses for SNC if it is convicted of criminal misdoings is based on wild estimates, not founded on fact, and nonsense. Here is one view of it: The government that likes to

Gerald Butts looks like such a gentle, soft spoken man, it's hard to imagine he's the son of a coal miner from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.And during his testimony before the justice committee today he never once lost his temper, or raised his voice.But what he did do very effectively

I fundraised for her, before she was elected. I have remained friends with her since. And I am so, so proud of her today. “I have lost confidence in how the government has dealt with this matter.” This government is falling apart before our eyes.

The next time someone on Mr. Trudeau‘s payroll says to you that the issue is too complicated, or that it will be forgotten by Labour Day, read them this. #LavScam in 20 words or less: “The Prime Minister fired an honest, Western, female, Indigenous leader because she wouldn’t break the

If, say, you wanted to now wipe out the Liberal Party of Canada – if you wanted to eliminate any chances it might have in an election that is just 200+ days away – what would you do? Here’s what you would do: You would continue a smear campaign against

Angus Reid Group has a sounding of public opinion to share, this morning – and for the #LavScam Liberals, it’s bad. A visual representation of the horserace numbers: I spoke to another pollster yesterday. I asked him if Trudeau was being hurt by #LavScam. His response? “Buddy, Trudeau is going

A must-read Tom Brodbeck column here. Key bits: “The most mind-boggling thing Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick said Thursday didn’t occur during his testimony at the House of Commons justice committee. Granted, the federal government’s top bureaucrat said some pretty shocking things there, including his bizarre comments about how Canada

…and, as she almost certainly expected, they’re leaking it. They’re waiving the privilege all on their own. And thereby helping her to get her story out. Man, she is smart. They’re playing checkers – and she always plays chess. Story here. Former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould told federal cabinet ministers she
