Trudeau should just resign. Replace him with Goodale or Garneau. We have a country to worry about.

Trudeau's speech would have been really excellent on day 2 of the whole mess. A month later it kind of doesn't have the same impact. Especially since then he had many versions of his story. It's also strangely similar to that of his close advisor and best friend that timely appeared live on TV yesterday. In the end there is two sides you can take and I doubt people change their mind with what have been said today and yesterday. JWR is stated to appear again on the committee in the next 5 days. Her previous appearance hinted that there was more to come. Let's see what happens next.
Some interesting thoughts I have about the story:
-Why are people still arguing about whether or not she should have went with the agreement? Considering the DPP came to same conclusion I don't see how shocking her decision was.
-Butts claiming her demotion is only because Brison retired and they needed someone from NS in a prestigious position isn't believable. At all.
-JWR is not honest on the whole story. She waited for a leak to take action even though from her point of view she should have taken action much before.
-Her mounting some kind of bad and dumb counterattack with Celina doesn't seem like a great idea. It makes them feel petty.
-Curious about what Philpott knows we don't. You don't leave a senior minister position for a friend or a perception problem.
-If there is a casualty in this it will be the Clerk of the privy council. His testimonies pretty much paints him as partisan and unprofessional.

It's not even Conservative into the traditional Canadian sense. The CPC is more like the Refooooorm Party now.
Scheer is like Stockwell Day without the Jet Ski.
i won't be doing the steering but it will be others that really despise him. There are people in the conservative sphere in Alberta that want to kick him out of his leadership position despite the alberta ndp because the ucp has not been listening to there concerns and kenney and the ucp have been treating some of these people like shit.A lot of these people don't like the AB ndp either but they will only be happy when kenney is gone.

It's been over a decade, but this AirFarce skit still makes me laugh.
Outside of the whole SNC fiasco, there's a lot of good news coming out of this government recently.
Scheer is, as Trump would say, "Low energy"
He will get exposed hard on the campaign trail. He'll get his classic ~30% but that's it. The more he associates with the alt-right, the easier a target he becomes. Not to mention there's Ford, who is liable to make a decision that will hurt the Conservative brand in Ontario within the coming year. I expect Bernier to start becoming a thorn in his side soon as well.
He has even failed to capitalize on this SNC scandal, he just mindlessly called for a resignation.

The Scheer stupidity of this excuse is astonishing. You could ask them to repeat what they're asking if you didn't hear them.
Pretty good piece on the SNC-Lavallin case from a former crown prosecutor on why their deal might have been refused. Brutal Wernick burn too.
If it was about federal contracts (which was the narrative what, a week ago?) I don't understand why you wouldn't just quietly change the integrity regime to make the 10-year procurement disbarment discretionary or something.
and are Christy Clark, Glen Murray, and Sheila Copps speaking out because Liberals in power asked them to and do they think they're helping? Because yikes, they've all been terrible.

Hahahaha, holy hell, Jason Kenney and the UCP have been melting down on a daily basis.
This is the best edit I've found of the whole scandal today: https://twitter.com/mikesbloggity/status/1103901920341647360

Jason Kenney: Being a conservative tool since the days of the Reform Party!
I really wish the BC liberals didn't use the liberal name. They're the BC conservatives, you may as well use the name.
They're not Social Conservatives, just Fiscal Conservatives. Basically Democrats.

Lol why even run as a liberal. She's torpedoed her own career, from a prominent minister role to just an MP.

I guess. I dunno. I always find that the provincial parties don't line up that much with federal. 🤷🏻♀️ In some aspects, sure, but in others, not really.
I truly feel bad for The Beaverton. It must be hard to have to compete with reality in this new age stupidity.
No doubt that the BC Liberals tilt more right than their Ontario cousins, but as much as people try to handwave away the shitty stuff the BC Liberals do by associating them with the Conservatives, the latter explanation is the closest to the reality.
Christy Clark is a long time Federal Liberal. She was president of the Young Liberals at SFU, was married to a Liberal organizer and has deep connections to that party. Her views and actions can't be easily dismissed by her association with conservatives in the big tent BC Liberal Party.
I'm seeing tweets that say it's even more than $150k. Lol. The connections between the Liberals and SNC Lavalin go deep. it's obvious what is driving this thing.
Remarkable to see ex-Cabinet minister Shiela Copps and one time Liberal leadership candidate weigh in on this scandal with awful racist garbage.

Did she tweet Philpott and ask her why she's betraying all women?
Well, not at Philpott and it wasn't about betraying women, but:
Sunny Ways.
Edit: This doesn't look very smart on the PMO's part:

At the very least new polls are showing Singh and Scheer are not picking up support. Like we have talked about the Liberals are extremely lucky to have two weak opponents. Same polls are showing an increase distrust in the PM but not in the party so I doubt we get stuck with PM Scheer.
Standards, why have them?
My corrupt guy is better than your corrupt guy. Because it's not possible to have someone who might be morally good and also have ethics as well I suppose.
