The Globe and Mail’s John Ibbitson called it “needs-to-have-his-head-examined foolish.” The National Post’s Matt Gurney said it was “absolutely bonkers” and evidence of having “utterly lost [his] mind.” Former Chretien communications boss Peter Donolo suggested it was “a mistake in a number of ways.” The Post’s Andrew Coyne cheerfully quoted

Warren Kinsella: #LavScam latest: Trudeau wants to give these creeps a sweetheart deal
An excellent Lavscam investigative report by CBC, no less. And it’s a doozy. Millions of dollars in a safe to facilitate bribes. Massive fraud. And Justin Trudeau’s favourite engineering firm still up to its ears in slime. The same firm which, also this morning, we are hearing in the indispensable
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: #LavScam by the numbers: Trudeau is losing – badly
Wow. The Toronto Star, of all media organizations, commissioned a poll after Justin Trudeau martyred Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott. And, according to the most Liberal-friendly paper of all, he’s in a free fall. Story here, key facts below: A new poll suggests Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives continue to have the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: #LavScam lesson
I teach crisis communications to lawyers-to-be at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Law, my alma mater. My students, as always, are terrific. And, for the whole term, we’ve been focussing on just one topic: LavScam. It makes sense. LavScam is the perfect fusion of a communications crisis and the

I realize that Jane Philpott is a medical doctor, and that like other doctors she has no doubt brought back to life some patients who appear at first glance to be dead.But her political career flatlined a long time ago, and what's left of it is turning green.So this is
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Five things about Scheer’s #LavScam press conference today
1. He looked and sounded Prime Ministerial. Moreover, most Canadians want Trudeau gone; the election is therefore now a referendum on whether Andrew Scheer is up to the job. Moments like these suggest he is. 2. Justin Trudeau is clearly attempting to libel chill any public discussion of Lavscam. It
Continue readingAlberta Politics: An election’s coming and the PM’s treading water – where’s a Russian to blame now that we need one?
It was a year ago Friday that the government of Canada declared Kirill Kalinin and three other Russian diplomats persona non grata and sent them packing for using, in the words of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, “their diplomatic status to undermine Canada’s security or interfere in our democracy.” Nobody bothered

The SNC-Lavalin business has jumped the shark. That’s not to say it’s over or that there may not be new revelations but, until something seismic comes out – if ever, it’s a dead horse. We’ve had our fill. Enough. I think most of us have some opinion of who, if

Rosie DiManno, Toronto Star: “THE LIBERALS HAVE ABANDONED THEIR MORAL PRINCIPLES…and it’s Justin Trudeau’s fault…It is dismaying to me, a political agnostic, that thuggery is now attached to the federal Liberal party. It is appalling to me, a feminist, that so many who claim to respect women, who call themselves

Originally published by Macleans Magazine The fall of the feminist Prime Minister The Daughters of the Vote, 338 young women, filled the House of Commons and with devastating timing turned on a leader they once Read more…

Dear Liberals: This is an open letter to all of you. I want to start it by telling you why I became a lawyer. It was a movie, called The Oxbow Incident. It was a Western, released some 75 years ago, and it starred Henry Fonda. It was about how

…and this is just the start, you phony SOB. Dozens of young women here for Daughters of the Vote turn their backs as Trudeau speaks -in solidarity with Ms Wilson-Raybould and Ms Philpott pic.twitter.com/aAhdlDHrcS — Peter Julian (@MPJulian) April 3, 2019 A stunning demonstration of young women speaking truth to

For weeks they waged war on their own government and their own leader Justin Trudeau.They plotted and coordinated their activities to try to cause maximum damage. They were the darlings of the Con media, who cheered them on wildly, and used them to smear Trudeau.And of course they were the

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish! The only thing better than Jody Wilson-Raybould and Dr. Jane Philpott being turfed from Caucus this week? Jody Wilson-Raybould and Dr. Jane Philpott being turfed from Caucus when each resigned their Cabinet positions, February 12th, and March 4th, respectively. John and James

No politician has ever been removed from caucus in the history of Parliamentary politics in Canada. That is what I gather from Canadian media yesterday, The level of near hysteria and hyperbole would have you believe that the concept of democracy in Canada itself is under attack. It was a

I can’t say I agree with much of my Liberal social media/blogger colleagues who are thinking this is a great thing that former Cabinet Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott got booted over their dissent as to how SNC Lavalin was being handled and the pressure being sent JWR’s way

From Butts’ notes. This does nothing but confirm every damn word JWR has said. (And – PS – how does Butts have verbatim quotes? Did they tape her?)

There was a moment, during Justin Trudeau’s saturnalian March 7 LavScam press conference, where the Prime Minister waxed poetic. He grew misty-eyed. He looked up from his notes. He sounded wistful. He loved Justice, he said. He really did. He and his Dad both did. “The files that were closest
