This feels way too convenient to me. Every instinct in my body tells me that the Glenn Joyal leak came from either someone close to Jody Wilson-Raybould – either a former staffer, or from someone inside of her circle. The issues surrounding the Glenn Joyal appointment to the SCC were

Warren Kinsella: #LavScam latest: did PMO have direct contact with prosecutors in the SNC-Lavalin trial?
That’s what the Globe and Mail is suggesting in another shocker this morning. I have wondered the same thing. Huge reporting by Fife and Team. And, if true, this moves things closer to obstruction of justice. Big time. The Prime Minister’s Office will neither confirm nor deny the assertion by

Anyone ready for an incoherent rant? Drip drip drip. The level of toxicity on social media right now regarding Canadian politics is at a level I never would have imagined. That is saying a lot, having worked in politics through the Stephen Harper years. We are seeing certain segments of

Here is the latest regarding former Treasury Board President Jane Philpott’s determination to shine light on the processes and background that ignited the SNC Lavalin scandal. Is Justin Trudeau on the ropes as both Read more…

Paul Wells and Maclean’s have got the first interview with Jane Philpott – former Minister of Health, former Treasury Board President, former Minister of Indigenous Services – and it is incredible. From the very first time I met Jane, and spoke at her riding association many years ago, I believed

The worst part of this whole SNC-Lavalin faux scandal has been the polarizing effect that it has had on Canadian politics. I have never seen such a disconnect between journalism, the political class, and the voting public. The truth of the matter is, polling numbers show that the story has

Wow. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and senior officials in his office have retained outside legal counsel in case of an RCMP investigation into allegations of political interference in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin Group. Mr. Trudeau’s communications director, Cameron Ahmad, told The Globe and Mail on Friday that Treasury Board

This was me today, a level 5 man cold – and I still made it on to co-host Canadia Cast with Kevin, only to be foiled by a few audio issues. It was a fun and freewheeling conversation about trolls, the dangers of social media, arguing on Twitter, bullies, SNC-Lavalin.

The Liberal majority on the “Justice” Committee again voted to prevent Jody Wilson-Raybould from speaking. It didn’t go over well. None of it has gone over well. •Toronto Sun Campaign Research poll: “As for Trudeau himself, Yufest says he now stands at just 29% approval compared to 58% who think

I have just about had my fill of NDP concern troll, and massive hypocrite Charlie Angus. Charlie has turned into the Appalachian carnival barker of Canadian politics. Charlie loves to bully people on Twitter. He seems to forget however, that these people who he calls trolls, are taxpayers and voters

Some thoughts and political potshots. It is getting to the point where commenting about Jody Wilson-Raybould on Social Media is getting too toxic. The subject itself is so very divisive that having a negative opinion of Jody Wilson-Raybould makes you a racist, and a misogynist. I have long held the

How bad was Justin Trudeau’s early-morning LavScam press conference? So bad CTV Your Morning’s Ben Mulroney asked aloud if the Liberal Prime Minister had made things worse for himself. So bad Bell Media radio host Evan Solomon called Trudeau’s statement “a word salad.” So bad I played a tape of

With the Speech from the Throne coming on March 18 and Premier Rachel Notley expected to call an election soon afterward, Dave and Ryan discuss how the parties are trying to frame the upcoming election, Brian Jean’s revenge, the creepy Prab Gill video, Joe Anglin’s candidacy, the SNC-Lavalin scandal and

Our friends at Campaign Research are out with a national omnibus today, too, I believe. I suspect they are going to show the same thing (if not worse). Poll, methodology, etc. here.

National Observer: “…the most depressing spectacle of the entire affair is watching Justin Trudeau, a man who clearly aspires to greatness, debase himself and this nation, by begging, pushing, imploring Canada’s attorney general to let this company off the hook. Then effectively firing her when she wouldn’t comply, and allowing
