Methinks it was wise for mean little Mikey Wernick to enlist a lawyer before he testified again However the lawyer should have told him to clam up N'esy Pas?

Could I be allowed to suggest that Mr. Wernick, MAY have contributed to the situation by a) making the mere suggestion of said 'vomitoriums', and b) his over the top remarks that were clearly taken to be partisan in nature - considering the nature of the office he holds.
Maybe Mr. Wernick has noone to blame except himself.

Methinks everybody knows that I am no Conservative but obviously I do enjoy laughing at your desperate nonsense N'esy Pas?

@David Borges this guy should stop talking and hire a lawyer. The RMCP is investigating and the whole group of them have been implicated by their own puzzling defence of their indefensible political interference in the courts.

@David Borges I can't understand how such... let's be polite... not very smart man went so high in his career. I also wondering if he knows how fast the Internet spreads, and copies, and shares, and dislikes every word he pronounced. Hundreds of thousand people heard/read his...hmmm... not so carefully worded... statement at the first committee hearing... and he got eight profanity filled messages. Really? Only eight? The Internet was very kind to him.

@James Fitzgibbon Look the "far right " is as idiotic as the "far left" , the adults who are Conservative or Liberal that can rationalise facts are the ones that are pissed off. Defending unethical behaviour for partisan reasons is just a character flaw people need to address with themselves, no belittle us all by trying to convince us nothing is wrong.

James. Right, just dumb it down to which ever side of the political spectrum you have chosen to hate.

Your also allowed to voice displeasure and concern with the big lobby minority conservative Scheer party who easily make Trudeau and the Liberals the best thing that has happened to Canada in a while...but some minority Canadians like him and Doug Ford because they mimic a Trump alt right polarization agenda..works out fine for the rich and no one else...bigotry is blind

As a formal senior civil servant, I was embarrassed by his testimony. I have given evidence twice at Parliamentary Committees - and have appeared many times in estimates - and I can't ever imagine behaving like this man did. How can he be our top civil servant.

Detailed!? He couldn't recall if he and JWR had a discussion where Trudeau would going to get the DPA "one way or another" and other veiled threats and warning. And when he was pressed on not being able to recall something like that he got snarky saying he wasn't wearing a wire. He was a mess in front of the committee.

Funny, Infound the Conservative and NDP committee members often to be highly unprofessional and rude, implying Wernick was lying, conveniently forgetful, partisan, etc. He was interrupted countless times. Angus wasted most of his time asking a question for almost two minutes, with a preamble that simply listed a dozen or so allegations, which allegations Wernick had already refuted.

LOLOLOLOL

There are currently 9 stories about the Liberals/SNC on the front page of the Canada tab and there are currently 23 stories about the Liberals/SNC on the front page of the politics section. All attacking the Liberals along the Conservative narrative. All open to comments and flooded with Conservatives virtue signalling and crying about their loss last election. This is going on a month that the CBC has been doing this.

Yep, the CBC sure is trying to save the day for the Liberals, and Conservatives are victims of not being heard.

Top bureaucrat gets profane messages after defending government on SNC-Lavalin

Michael Wernick called 'garbage' and 'a traitor' on social media


Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick has gotten some rather nasty messages on social media over his testimony before the Commons justice committee. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)


The country's top public servant received profanity-laced social media messages calling him "garbage," a "traitor," a "loser" and a "liar" after defending the Trudeau government's conduct in the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Michael Wernick, clerk of the Privy Council, tabled with the House of Commons justice committee Wednesday some of the messages he'd received since he first testified on the controversy two weeks ago.

"I believe that you will want to discuss this as the intimidation of a witness before your committee and a breach of the committee's privileges," Wernick said at the time.




As it turned out, committee members did not want to discuss the matter, preferring to concentrate on Wernick's alleged role in pressuring former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt a criminal prosecution of Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. No one asked about the messages, sent to Wernick via Facebook messenger. Nor did the committee release them publicly, since they were not in both official languages.

'Idiot goofs!'


However, on Thursday, Wernick's office released copies of eight expletive-filled, sometimes barely coherent messages.

"Your garbage pal. If you don't want to be calked name like treason and traitor then don't indulge in it then, you (expletive) idiot goofs!" said one.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for the comments about assinations! Arrogant pos! Get a real job you (expletive) deadbeat," said another.
Wernick prefaced his first appearance before the committee with surprise remarks about the deteriorating state of political discourse in Canada.

"I worry about the rising tide of incitements to violence when people use terms like treason and traitor in open discourse," he said. "Those are words that lead to assassination. I'm worried that somebody is going to be shot in this country this year during the political campaign."

Wernick went on to say he's also worried about "the reputations of honourable people who have served their country being besmirched and dragged through the market square. I worry about the trolling from the vomitorium of social media entering the open media arena."

Wernick's performance before the committee, along with his stout defence of the integrity of staff in the Prime Minister's Office, earned him the scorn of opposition MPs, who accused him of being partisan and demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fire him. In the House of Commons last week, NDP MP Charlie Angus referred to Wernick as Trudeau's "personal goon."

'You're a loser. And a liar.'


The social media vomitorium, as Wernick called it, has been less restrained.

"Michael, you are dirty. Your manipulation of the fallout on the SNC-Lavalin criminal bribery scandal does not look good on you," said one message he received.

"You're a loser. And a liar. You'll amount to an absolute nobody in Canadian history. A spineless puppet," said another.

"YOU SHOULD BE FIRED. A disgrace to Canada ... Overpaid, bureaucratic LIBERAL BOZO ... protecting liberal LIars!!!" opined yet another.
