The Imposter’s non-apology apology didn’t go so well. A summary of the commentariat, below: John Ibbitson, Globe and Mail: “At Thursday morning’s news conference, an unrepentant Justin Trudeau described the political crisis that has consumed his government as a failure to communicate. It was not. This crisis is about his

Warren Kinsella: The #LavScam questions Trudeau wouldn’t answer
Me on Your Morning on CTV. I look super old. Too many 5 a.m. wake-ups to do #LavScam commentary!

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.

There are three sides to every story. Regarding Jody Wilson-Raybould’s experience as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, there is her side, the sides of everyone named in her opening statement… and, then, there is the truth. And, maybe no one is lying… after all, memories shared

I was watching The National ((aka The Whore of Babylon among those who reflexively defend all things Liberal) last evening, and was surprised to learn that there seems to be no basis for the claim that 9,000 jobs could be lost should SNC-Lavalin register a criminal conviction that would bar

//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 was instructed not to send it,” said Nathalie Drouin. If true, this is beyond the pale… Jody Wilson-Raybould was, in her capacity as Minister of Justice, the chief federal legal adviser. The Department of Justice exists, in part, to advise the Prime Minister and his Cabinet on legal matters.

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, folks, is the chair of the Standing Committee on Justice literally ROLLING HIS EYES when an MP says "it is in the interest of justice" that @Puglaas be permitted to testify about the #LavScam scandal. Remember this moment on voting day. #cdnpoli #lpc #cpc #ndp pic.twitter.com/bO0TZsIEqQ — Warren Kinsella

Above: a Trudeau supporter physically attacks a protestor at Justin Trudeau’s rally in Toronto last night. Where – I’m not making this up! – they played Michael Jackson songs – on the same night ‘Leaving Neverland’ was airing. And the great reviews keep rolling in! Globe Ipsos poll: “Most Canadians

It grieves me to resign from a portfolio where I was at work to deliver an important mandate. I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations. There can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them. –

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

First, here are a few thoughts from Jody Wilson-Raybould’s committee testimony and the aftermath. What Jody Wilson-Raybould and Justin Trudeau are both saying could likely be true. They do not have to be mutually exclusive. We know now that Jody Wilson-Raybould is likely responsible for the leak, or had a

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

Reading the newspaper this morning, it occurred to me that the reactions to Jody Wilson Raybould’s testimony before the Commons Justice Committee constitute a kind of political Rorschach Test, one that helps reveal people’s values, psychology and moral sensibilities. As one would expect, it demonstrates that the Canadian psyche is
