Trudeau and ethics

[burnt]

Indeed the trained parrots enthusiastically repeating the Lib news releases word for word seem to be getting less airplay.

I even saw a "bad" picture of Justin with his hair messed up and no shit eating smile.

Justin must be wondering what happened to all his loyal lapdogs.

I think this article hints at his problem. All his gender/minority/inclusiveness/ is biting him in the ass;

https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/jody-wilson-raybould-fallout-detonates-real-change-brand/

"There may or may not be a commission of inquiry into the grave allegation that PMO officials put heavy pressure on Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was Justice Minister and Attorney General to help Quebec-based SNC-Lavalin secure deferred prosecution; then, when she refused, she was demoted to Veterans Affairs. We don’t know. There may or may not be a shoe store of shoes yet to drop. We don’t know. Questions swirl in the vacuum of silence and absence of anything approaching clarity, their answers unknown. What we do know is this: the allegation involving Jody Wilson-Raybould and its aftermath has effectively kneed the Liberal government where it hurts the most—squarely in its Real Change™ optics.

Given Wilson-Raybould’s former central placement in Sunny Ways™ imagery—the optimistic, photogenic promise of Real Change™ in gender equality, reconciliation, climate change, governance and transparency, even how MPs are elected—this is a serious blow for the government, even a possible coup fatal."

Add to this the details in the article Bob posted about the 80 meetings they had with SNC's super lobbyists prior to rewriting the laws to allow SNC to avoid criminal charges.

Months and months getting it all quietly set up and JWR wouldn't play ball.

Might be MSM is a little embarrassed about looking at the squirrel.

BOOM!

Trudo had about 40% of our vote in 2015. If 60% voted...24% of Canadians X'd the Liberal ballot. And ALL OF US get the dictator for at least 4 years! What a system!

Another meaningless statement without context.
Actual data.
2015 election
Election turnout 68.3% of voters, 39.5% vote Liberal, and L win 54.4% of the seats = 27% vote L
2011 election
Election turnout 61.4% of voters, 39.6% vote Cons, and C wins 53.9% of the seats = 24% vote C

The same argument you use against 2015 election was used by even more after 2011 election.

Easy to complain but what is your solution? What system do you think is better?

Obviously you know little about our electoral system. If you did the first thing that would come to mind is Quebec has 8 million people and 78 seats while Alberta has 4 million people and 34 seats. BC and alberta have nearly identical populations yet BC has 8 more seats. West is way underrepresented in the senate.

The US system is far far superior to our dictatorship.

Hey Jazz, still insulting me I see. Why haven't you explained your claim I am a hypocrite that I asked you about in a thread last week?.

Simply looking at population numbers does not tell the entire story. You see, not everyone living in a riding or province is eligible to vote. If you look at eligible voter numbers , the picture is much different. In fact in the 2015 election, the province with the average highest number of eligible voters per riding was in fact Quebec. (81,290voters/riding) (the link shows the number of eligible voters in every riding.) A young province like Alberta (80,379voters/riding), with many children under 18, non Canadian citizens working here, or a high number of out of province workers who could be registered to vote in another province for the federal election distort population numbers compared to electorate registry numbers. But maybe you are right and Saskatchewan should lose some ridings given they average only 53,500 voters per riding. (Be careful what you ask for)

Furthermore, The Supreme Court ruled that ridings need to be adjusted so that the problem you pointed out is mitigated. That is why Alberta got 7 more seats in the last election, and Quebec only got 3 more. But it is an ongoing problem given the mobile population we have. Or when we have people like Jason Kenny claiming to be an Alberta resident by living in his mother's senior housing for 2 weeks a year so he could collect housing allowance while living in Ottawa when he was a MP.

More fun with math.
Hey fjilip. Based on your complain about Trudeau getting so much power with such little support, what is your opinion on the Conservatives in Alberta getting 26 seats in parliament from 59.5 percent of the popular vote, yet the Liberals in Alberta got 24.6% of the vote yet only received 4 seats. Do you feel the Liberals in Alberta were cheated since the Conservatives got 6.5 times as many seats from only 2.4 times as many votes? And the NDP only got 1 seat yet 11% of the vote in the last federal election.

Still waiting for your suggestions for better elections.

The best election is no election.
Have a parliament of say 200 MPs. Every year choose 40 people from the pool of Canadian citizens with no exceptions except prisoners and people too sick to serve. They serve for 5 years then they’re out. That way you’re constantly having new ideas coming in but others with experience to mentor them. Pay them well and protect their jobs at home. Let them choose their own leader.
No more row after row of lawyers or career politicians.
No more party whips. No party donations as a form of lobbying.
Just janitors and mechanics and millionaires and stay at home moms. Some years Alberta might be over represented, some years Newfoundland will be underrepresented but it’ll average out over time.
Sure they’ll make mistakes but they’ll be honest ones compared to what they do now.
And 200 different agendas instead of 3 makes for honest debate, and no UN meddling.

There you go, my answer too, ESPECIALLY no F*CKING Political Parties!
Recall, if a certain number sign a petition, NO taxation without a vote on ballot.

Canadas situation is much more serious because the liberals changed the law to save a company headquartered near the PMs own riding and to save the company from going under and the massive layoffs and votes that would go with it. Didn't see trump doing any of that. He had nothing politically to gain.

This is a key point in this cover up.

Trudeau and Morneau inserted a new law into the last budget omnibus bill that will give politicians the ability to get SNC-Lavalin and other crooked corporations out of trouble so they can continue getting federal government contracts.

This is a key point in this cover up.

Trudeau and Morneau inserted a new law into the last budget omnibus bill that will give politicians the ability to get SNC-Lavalin and other crooked corporations out of trouble so they can continue getting federal government contracts.

And this new little "secret" law - which allowed the accused to make remediation rather than go to trial - came about as a result of about 70 (recorded) visits to the PMO by SNC Lavalin lobbyists.

SNC was already under investigation when these friendly little chat-ups started.

One of the conditions for being allowed to make remediation rather than going to trial was that the accused party could not have any prior convictions on their record. SNC does have previous convictions.

So when Jody said "NO deal, the rules say that you're going to trial", SNC threw a little fit and went after Butts puppet, who went to visit Jody, who said "NO, I do not consent".

And because he didn't like the threats from SNC, Justin had no choice but to throw another woman under the bus.

He's building a solid track record and reputation as a misogynist, a woman abuser.

Hell of a thing for a self-proclaimed feminist Prime Minister.

As predicted Gerald Butts has taken one for this sinking ship and has resigned.

Will Justin let us commoners know the facts on this LavScam criminal activity or continue the coverup?

And which UN agency will Butts be working for by the end of the week?

[sumdumguy]

Butts may be ok with beingthe “butt” of all jokes but the cold steel bars, not really too fond of those. “ Jump, while you have the chance”, is what his advisors chanted. Deflect this one Libtards.
