what did he say?You would think Scheer would keep his mouth shut long enough for people to seriously think about not voting Liberal ... Nope.
Referring to the article about shutting down the CBC News division.
Don't worry. $10 says that Conservative Strategists are currently in the middle of shredding their policy and platform draft documents because Ford showed it was a legitamite strategy to victoryYou would think Scheer would keep his mouth shut long enough for people to seriously think about not voting Liberal ... Nope.
Ford wants to ruin University so more people end up ignorant and without empathy, just like him
Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion has launched an inquiry into allegations the Prime Minister's Office attempted to pressure Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was justice minister and attorney general to help SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal trial for corruption and fraud.
Mr. Dion said there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation under the section of the conflict of interest act that prohibits a public office holder from seeking to influence a decision that would further their privates interest or the private interests of a friend or relative.
"I have reason to believe that a possible contravention of Section 9 may have occurred," Mr. Dion wrote to NDP MPs Nathan Cullen and Charlie Angus. "Section 9 prohibits a public office holder from seeking to influence a decision of another person so as to improperly further another person's private interest. As a result, I have initiated an examination … and have so informed Mr. Trudeau."
Mr. Cullen and Mr. Angus wrote the ethics czar last Friday to investigate the allegations, first reported in The Globe and Mail.
The House of Commons Justice Committee is also meeting Wednesday to vote on call by the Conservative and NDP to hold parliamentary hearings in the matter.

Facts or lacking in them has never stopped Doug or Rob Ford from running their mouths. He has no idea, but he'll damn well repeat it until at least a segment of the population who also don't know go, 'you know, I think he's right!'
Still the favorite (with a majority to boot based on current polls) but there's a lot of time between now and the election to change.What does polling look like for Tredeau and the Liberals chances for this years federal elections?

Wasn't it north carolina that lost their shit over some snow with a photo of abandoned cars and one on fire?
also, don't let Scheer win! Don't let Scheer win! >.<
Pretty much Conservative playbook.Scheer's problem is that he is just running against things instead of running for something
Let's be frank, does anyone here actually believe he's changed his opinion on murdering the CBC since then? The timing is irrelevant: Scheer wants them gutted.That's from 2016. lol at him of all people taking jabs at "Canadian values"?
It's the scheer creepiness factor.He looks like he breaks into people's rooms at night and steals their toenail clippings.
Oh, nah, it's just that it should be put in context is all.Let's be frank, does anyone here actually believe he's changed his opinion on murdering the CBC since then? The timing is irrelevant: Scheer wants them gutted.
He looks more like the type that would breath heavily while simply watching you sleep after breaking into your room.He looks like he breaks into people's rooms at night and steals their toenail clippings.
That's from 2016. lol at him of all people taking jabs at "Canadian values"?
LOL damn my bad. I read the article but didn't notice the date.
OK. I checked the date on this article and it's today! But it pretty much confirms my suspicions of the twitter activity of late on #cdnpoli.
That tweet makes it sounds like a much bigger problem than it really is/was.
9.6 million tweests! OMG! Than you read the story and only 21 600 tweets (over years) were related to Canada.
I'm starting to get tired of these stories. In the grand scheme of things, the influence of these "trolls" is negligible
The allegation of Privy Council Office intervention prompted the Ontario Court of Justice judge presiding over the Norman case on Monday to question the independence of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. "So much for the independence of the PPSC," Justice Heather Perkins-McVey interjected.
Partly redacted notes and an e-mail exchange between defence lawyer Christine Mainville and one of the lead prosecutors, Barbara Mercier, were filed in court. Ms. Mercier wrote in an e-mail that the notes from meetings with officials at the Privy Council are redacted because they deal with "trial strategy."
But all of a sudden, if you disagree with someone, it's a "russian troll" or a "Soros troll". As is we can't be shitty on our own without foreign influence.
Madam Prime Minister Freeland.
C'mon Justin, take one for the team.
Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs calls out 'racist and sexist' treatment of Wilson-Raybould
A group of First Nation leaders is calling on the prime minister to quash what they view as "racist and sexist innuendo" dogging Veterans Affairs Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould
Over the weekend, The Canadian Press ran a story quoting anonymous sources who described Wilson-Raybould as someone who had "become a thorn in the side of the cabinet" before she was shuffled to her new role last month. She was also called "someone ... [who] was difficult to get along with, known to berate fellow cabinet ministers openly at the table, and who others felt they had trouble trusting."
A source, described as an "insider who didn't want to be identified," told the news agency that Wilson-Raybould has "always sort of been in it for herself" and "everything is very Jody-centric."
Those comments are "cowardly low blows," says a statement released Tuesday by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs.
"They perpetuate colonial-era, sexist stereotypes that Indigenous women cannot be powerful, forthright and steadfast in positions of power, but rather confrontational, meddling and egotistic," says the news release from the group, which has been critical of the Liberal government in the past on pipeline issues.
"These comments from your staff must be recognized for what they are — blatant sexism."
Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes also leapt to her caucus colleague's defence online, tweeting Sunday that Wilson-Raybould is "fierce, smart, and unapologetic."
"When women speak up and out, they are always going to be labelled. Go ahead. Label away. We are not going anywhere," she wrote.

All I can say in regards to this scandal is Jesus Fucking Christ. Like why do they keep on doing this to themselves. It's not fucking hard to not break the law. It's not fucking hard to not act corrupt. You literally just don't do it. It's not hard.
Why do they keep on doing this to themselves. If the Conservatives win because of this, I'm going to fucking flip. Like it's pathetic. JUST WHY
this is so true, Trudeau has naive vision of optics.If something has been abundantly clear after these last 4 years, it's that Trudeau and his clique are awful at "politics" and "optics".
If they lose this fall, hopefully they'll dump him, along with Butts and Telford. They can take Melanie Joly along with them.
