Who Pressured Whom?

Re: water projects and SNC, if Trudeau just wasn’t ready before, he’s starting to learn about treading water.
Just watched a CBC interview, and he covered subjects JWR, SNC, canola and some others pretty well.
But, talk is cheap.

Maybe Trudeau isn't the bad guy we made out to be. Maybe he held the line on something much worse that he probably unleashed unknowingly.

Wilson-Raybould’s insistence on a real “nation-to-nation” deal with Ottawa, including imposing obligations to fund 600-plus Indigenous nations in perpetuity and give them de facto command of the country’s economy, was too much even for Trudeau.

Yep some keep wanting to hear the whole story they might not like.

But this is what happens when an idiot picks extreme nutcases and gives them high positions they know nothing at all about. It comes back to bite him in the ass. Well deserved, not that he likely isn’t innocent of pressuring the nuts but these wackos have their own agenda and anyone that thinks that agenda is good for everyone and better than how bad it is now. What a surprise the left media and the right media are praising 2 extreme nuts. What limitless power do these dummies have????

Here is what I think of this topic:

600 native bands get "compensation in perpetuity" from the government . We are carrying close to 1 trillion dollars of debt in this country now, so who is going to pay the bill? Who is minding the store? This may sound painful , but 33% of the people in this country are paying 100% of the bills , and we are bleeding a lot of red ink every minute of every day. We cannot afford to pay these people out , and it boils down to the question of " when does the finger-pointing ever end"? We can't be responsible for other peoples choices from over 100 years ago. Be responsible for yourself , and take care of yourself. The world does not owe anyone a lifetime lottery cheque!

Paint me with any brush you like. But this will only get much worse. More people who don't know how to make money in charge of spending it.
Everytime I look at current school curriculum or go to a school event I grind my teeth. Every event has homage paid first to the First Nations Treaty# we're standing on. **** our forefathers who built the building we're standing in.
This will never get better. Like any abusive relationship, we just keep taking shit because it's 'safer'.

Obviously the issue was native rights. Maybe Trudeau did us all a favor but he was the fool that opened the door in the first place;

So why hesitate now? What is it that Trudeau fears? What do Wilson-Raybould and Philpott know — or could they say — if he cast them out of caucus? Speculation runs rampant, but some scenarios appear more plausible than others. The main one is that SNC-Lavalin wasn’t the starting point for the women’s discontent but only a convenient tipping point. The theory is that other issues — the government’s failure to settle Indigenous land claims, the lack of material advancement on First Nations issues — are really what made them mad. They may have concluded that Trudeau’s embrace of these causes was a fraud, mere virtue-signalling for votes, and they weren’t going to take it anymore.
