The naturally corrupt governing party:
The former Liberal candidate elected in Spadina- Fort York has confirmed he intends to represent the riding in Ottawa despite calls for him to step aside amid allegations of sexual assault.
(Sidebar: people voted for this guy even after they heard the case against him.)

The corporate entities of SNC-Lavalin Inc. and SNC-Lavalin International Inc., as well as two former senior executives of the Quebec-based firms have been charged with a series of fraud and forgery offences by the RCMP.

What amazing timing the RCMP has... JUST after the election this comes out.. š https://t.co/2dLBGoapfP

Those are Trudeau’s men. The ones he told Jody Wilson-Raybould not to prosecute. Naturally, Trudeau’s hand-picked RCMP commissioner held this back until after the election. She’s as crooked as he is. https://t.co/EpAJ2yTnfF

SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. yesterday became the first corporation in Canada to be offered an out-of-court settlement under a provision cabinet wrote into the Criminal Code in 2018. Critics had denounced so-called “deferred prosecution agreements” as a get-out-of-jail card: “Ordinary Canadians would not have access to this type of plea bargain.”**
After a “deranged” and terrifying nighttime attack on his former spouse and her new boyfriend, former Liberal MP Marwan Tabbara pleaded guilty, Thursday, to assault and being unlawfully in a home. ...
Court heard of his stalking, confrontations, a hateful text message, as well as beating the male victim in the man’s own home and forcing the female victim out into the street, and then Tabbara, who represented the federal Ontario riding of Kitchener South-Hespeler, was given a conditional discharge.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino’s department employs bigoted managers who made derogatory remarks about “lazy” Indigenous people, “dirty” Africans and Mexicans who emigrate to collect welfare, according to an internal report. The document is dated June 23 but only released yesterday: “If the natives wanted their land they should have just stood up.”
**
Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino yesterday would not comment on an internal report documenting racist hate speech by managers in his own department. Mendicino has publicly stated all Canadians must do the “hard work” of fighting bigotry: “My message is that we are with you and we will condemn any and all examples of hate and racism.”
Except the ones that come from your side, obviously.

“Very, very busy” diplomats and regimental commanders scrambled to host a 2019 vanity trip to Latvia by former governor general Adrienne Clarkson, according to Access To Information records. Clarkson’s junket included a night at the opera, request for a field uniform and questions on whether to wear her ceremonial medals: “What is the purpose of this visit?”
What did Latvia ever do to deserve this pomp?

Federal agencies quietly arranged to ship hundreds of thousands of Covid masks to QuĆ©bec when all other provinces faced shortages, according to internal emails. Political aides in the Prime Minister’s Office stressed “we should be careful about what we say” in giving QuĆ©bec preferential treatment: “The plan is for them to go to QC.”

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates that MPs who lost their seats or stood down before the election could get $3.3 million in “golden goodbyes.”
Fifty-one MPs, who lost their seats or decided not to stand again, qualify for a severance cheque worth half their salary — some $92,900 or more if they were a cabinet minister or chaired a committee.
If they are 55 or older and had been an MP for six years, they qualify for a pension instead.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates that pensions for MPs leaving office in 2021 will cost the public purse $1.4 million a year.
It says MPs’ severance payments will cost the taxpayer $3.3 million.

Canadian taxpayers would directly subsidize millions in transit fares for money-losing city operators under a “potential federal option” proposed by cabinet, according to internal documents. Aides in the Prime Minister’s Office said the confidential proposal would redirect climate change grants to cover revenue drops due to falling ridership: “There is no mechanism in place for us to do this right now.”
And people question why the electorate would seek political alternatives.
