So the Ethics Commissioner has slapped the Prime Minister’s wrist, stating in his report I found that Mr. Trudeau used his position of authority over Ms. Wilson‑Raybould to seek to influence, both directly and indirectly, her decision on whether she should overrule the Director of Public Prosecutions’ decision not to

Finally. After seizing Gerald Butts’ government-issue laptop and cell phone – after all of the senior PMO staff lawyered up – one would’ve thought the criminal probe was already underway. At least they have now confirmed that it is. How helpful is it that your party and your leader are

Kick me. Here’s a little-known fact: The “kick me” sign — which is usually affixed to some hapless soul’s back or behind, for laughs — was apparently devised by merry-making Scots during the 16th Century. They did it to celebrate April Fool’s. “Kick me” thereafter became so popular, it spread

There is enough evidence against SNC-Lavalin for the engineering corporation to be tried on fraud and bribery charges, a Quebec court judge has ruled. SNC-Lavalin spent months lobbying the federal government to avoid finding itself in this position. It hoped to use a new legal mechanism — a deferred prosecution

In one of my books, The War Room, I have a chapter called the Scandal Handle Manual. Here’s a bit of it: None of us Chrétienites hated Martin or Gomery, particularly, but nor did we like them all that much either. Still, every once in a while, I would get

…about something that matters a lot. ** “A new nation-to-nation process,” they said. “We will renew the relationship between Canada and Indigenous Peoples. It is time for Canada to have a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples, based on recognition, rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership,” they said. “This is both

The truth. She says it’s true — the actions of the Liberal Prime Minister should be “of great concern for many Canadians, across the country.” She says, truthfully, that Justin Trudeau has acted in a way that is “questionable.” She says what happened her is “a wake-up call” — and,

Ah, The Feminist. There he was again, last week, sleeves rolled up, tie loosened. All moist-eyed sincerity, all sotto voce. The Feminist had just athletically jogged down a flight of stairs, and paused to take media questions, en deux langues, The questions were about the total and complete collapse of

The World Bank is fingering Bombardier for bribery to win a $339 (US) railway contract with Azerbaijan. The project was 85 per cent financed by the World Bank and it seems the bank is now hopping mad – again Bombardier Inc. allegedly used corruption and collusion to win a contract

Cue the soundtrack from Titanic. Once upon a time, Andrew Leslie was a star Liberal Party candidate. A decorated former commander of the Canadian Armed Forces, Leslie was hailed by Justin Trudeau as proof the Liberals were pro-military. Way back in 2013, when Trudeau named the 35-year veteran to an

One hundred days. A lot can happen in 100 days. Because, per the saying, a week can be a lifetime in politics. One hundred or so days ago, Justin Trudeau fired Jody Wilson-Raybould. One hundred days ago, the Liberal leader – the one who claimed to be feminist, the one who declared himself

Nate Erskine-Smith is my MP. I have always liked him. I have always praised him and had a big sign supporting him in front of my house in 2015. But ever since Nate voted to deny Jody Wilson-Raybould an opportunity to appear before the Ethics Committee – ever since Nate
