As a partisan hack who has never voted liberal, this train wreck has been hard to watch even for me. OMG, how inept is this government?

@Mike Hawke Trust that Gerald Butts, Andrew Scheer and everyone else who sits in opposition know that Jody Wilson-Raybould may have lost her mandate as Justice Minister because of her failings in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal within my lawsuit against the Crown that was filed when Harper was the Prime Minister and Mr Scheer was the Speaker. Need I say that it irritated me big time when Jody appointed her Deputy Minister to the bench of Federal Court not long after I argued their minions in the Federal Court of Appeal?

Methinks anyone can check my work by simply Googling two names "Jody Wilson-Raybould David Raymond Amos" N'esy Pas?

David Amos
David Amos @Mike Hawke Methinks truth is stranger than fiction and anyone can easily Google "David Amos Federal Court file No." in order to sort out the truth from fiction for themselves. Its blatantly obvious that Mr Trudeau had a duty to talk to Harper's Minister of justice and Peter MacKay and had them pay particular attention to info found within statement 83 of my lawsuit long before the election in October of 2015

Everybody knows why I am about to put the aforementioned matter before the Supreme Court and file several more lawsuits in the Federal Court against the RCMP and the CRA etc and also run for a seat in Parliament again N'esy Pas?

Childish, bullies, personal attacks, smears and sneers, outright lies, character assassinations...... over and over and over.

It’s how the Cons disposed of Dion and Ignatieff. They have much more sophisticated social media manipulation techniques to knock off Trudeau, and lots of foreign money to help them do it. But he’s still standing.

Question 1, sorry can't answer that

Question 3, sorry can't answer that
Question 4, sorry can't answer that
Followed by applause by the Libs for being forthcoming and answering all the questions.

Bob Evans, the Libs don’t personally attack their critics, which Harper, Baird, Poilievre, Rempel, etc. did a thousand times. The worst name-calling I can think of was Trudeau calling them a bunch of ambulance chasers a few months ago.

The opposition, media critics and you folks have been screaming for JWR to appear before the Commons committee, and now she will. The Harper Cons would NEVER have allowed this to happen; their record is one of shutting down committees whenever they got to uppity, e.g., on Afghan detainees, fighter jets, crime.

Instead of obstructing House of Commons committees, the Trudeau Libs have empowered them. They actually prohibit Parliamentary secretaries from voting. It’s one of dozens and dozens of ways they are restoring democracy due to the real train wreck, which was the Harper government.

@Richard Sharp This is all about Trudeau Richard. Harper lost the last election 3 and half years ago. And your list, Afghan detainees, fighter jets, crime, Wow, sounds so insignificant and made up compared to the current situation

@Paulina Tangay

There is no way that any vaguely informed Canadian, liberal or conservative, believes:

a) the Duffy Affair, contempt of parliament, the F35 procurement, etc. were all “insignificant” compared to this; and
b) 3 1/2 years was a long time ago.

I doubt the average voter would have given a crap and most assume this is par for the course in politics. Which begs the question how did the libs manage to turn this into such a s@#t storm and raises some serious questions regarding their competence to handle actual issues that Canadians care about.

Actually, the Libs are up to a 6 point lead in the latest Nanos poll. The Cons are tanking nationallly in Quebec, Ontario and BC, and among women:

@Brian Fradette

Nanos has been the most accurate federal,pollster at the federal level for over a decade now. It predicted the Lib victory in 2015 while most
other pollsters floundered. Its methodology is superior, including use of the good old telephone with live agents, which is less susceptible to manipulation than Internet polls.

@Richard Sharp Nik Nanos is practically a member of the Liberal government. Ever read his tweets? He is as partisan a Liberal as you are. In such situations as these, where other pollsters show a negative change, Nanos lags behind until they can't possibly show such ridiculous numbers any more. Wait for it Richard, it's coming.

Don't get your hopes up, people. She won't be able to say very much.

Then again, she doesn't really have to. Actions always speak louder than words, and the fact Trudeau has had two cabinet ministers and his closest aide resign this month says plenty.

Question: Did you feel pressured to offer a DPA?

Answer: Yes

Quwstion: Did that pressure change your decision

Answer: No

Question: Did the PM state it was your decision to make

Answer: Yes

Can we stop the witch hunt, nothing criminal or ethically wrong was done

Actually, the turnover in Harper’s Cabinet due to scandal was 2-3 times that of the very stable Trudeau Cabinet, with the same Ministers in finance, environment, public safety, etc. Look it up.

Brian Fradette
Brian Fradette
@Troy Mann Huh? If question one is answered like you suggest, the government will fall.

Richard Sharp
Richard Sharp
@Brian Fradette

Huh? It’s already been stated many times that there have been vigorous discussions about SNC Lavelin and a possible DPA in Cabinet, so of course some Ministers believe it’s appropriate as do many outside experts. It’s also been stated by the PM himself that it was JWR’s decision to make and, when resigning, Butts insisted again their was no undue improper pressure brought to bear on JWR by him or anyone in the PMO.

Those are the government statements “on trial.” The opposition and media critics have been screaming obstruction of Justice and cover up. We’ll see.

For you sheltered pearl clutcher partisans...bribes are common in foreign countries to do business! So grow up...this will be settled in court anyways!

Besides....she messed up with the drunk driving law giving police overreach and opening up her people for racial profiling...along with the leak after she was reassigned says a lot about her!

She is done! ...these issues get discussed in team meetings...grow up!

Oh CAnada

@Troy Mann Actually the PMO pressuring the AG to direct the DPP to offer a DPA is illegal and what this whole affair is about. That and acronyms, lots of acronyms.

This is getting more and more bizarre by the minute! Hopefully she can answer the fundamental allegation in the G&M articles, i.e. "were you pressured by anyone in the PMO to got involved in the SNC Lavalin court case." If she can't answer that, what's the point?

@Roland Wippel
Not at all. That being said, does it not make you wonder why she:-
1. Resigned?
2. Engaged legal counsel to determine what she can and/or cannot say?
3. Reportedly asked to speak to cabinet, when is no longer a member thereof?
4. Wrote a resignation letter that specifically addressed speaking “truth to power”
All very confusing if there was no pressure exerted on her?

Wilson-Raybould to testify in parliamentary probe of SNC-Lavalin scandal

Former justice minister, bound by client-solicitor privilege, says she is still consulting with lawyer


Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould will be called to testify at the House of Commons justice committee examining the SNC-Lavalin scandal. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)


Former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould will be called to testify at a parliamentary committee probing the SNC-Lavalin scandal — but it's not yet clear how much she'll be able to reveal publicly because she's still bound by client-solicitor privilege.

Wilson-Raybould said today she is consulting with her lawyer about what she can and can't say, and his guidelines also will apply to her appearance before the Commons justice committee.

"I will appear, but as I said, I'm still in discussions with my counsel about the various privileges and confidences that I have," she said.






Wilson-Raybould resigned from the Liberal cabinet last week — but emerged from the cabinet room Tuesday afternoon after addressing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers. Standing at the centre of a scandal engulfing the government, she conceded the situation is complex.

"The rules and laws around privilege, around confidentiality, around my responsibility as a member of Parliament, my ethical and professional responsibilities as a lawyer are layered and incredibly complicated. So I'm still working with my lawyer," she said.
Minutes later, Liberal MP Iqra Khalid‏ tweeted that she had issued a notice of motion before the justice committee to invite Wilson-Raybould to appear before the committee looking into reports that the prime minister's office pressured her to direct the Public Prosecution Service of Canada to sign a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with SNC-Lavalin.

A DPA — a legal measure similar to a plea deal — would have allowed the Quebec-based multinational engineering firm to avoid prosecution on bribery and fraud charges in relation to contracts in Libya.



Politics News
Wilson Raybould speaks to CBC News at she leaves Question Period



 Jody Wilson-Raybould leaves Question Period and is asked questions by the CBC's Chris Rands 2:39


Facing mounting pressure from opposition critics to waive client-solicitor privilege, Trudeau today would say only that he asked his new Justice Minister David Lametti to review the situation and provide him with advice.

Trudeau also said Wilson-Raybould made the request to address cabinet today, but would not divulge any details of what she said.

Wilson-Raybould was demoted to the Veterans Affairs portfolio earlier this month; she resigned cabinet last week, just days after the Globe and Mail reported that she was pressured to intervene in the SNC-Lavalin case.
Wilson-Raybould said today she remains a Liberal MP.

Trudeau has denied any wrongdoing, as has his former top aide Gerry Butts, who resigned Monday in a bombshell announcement.


I have given notice of motion at the justice committee to invite the Hon. Jody Wilson-Raybould to appear before the committee.



Asked today if she was pressured by the Prime Minister's Office, Wilson-Raybould said she is "still working with my lawyer."

Wilson-Raybould has retained retired Supreme Court justice Thomas Cromwell and has maintained she is limited in what she can say due to solicitor-client privilege. As the former attorney-general, Wilson-Raybould acted as the government's top lawyer.
