Was It Something He Said?

 Most definitely:

Trudeau defended his decision, maintaining that Canadians deserve to choose how the country should move forward out of the pandemic.

 

No, you arrogant son-of-a-b!#ch. You thought that you would win. 

And he doesn't feel on iota sorry for calling an election, either.

That's a special kind of arrogance.

 

Also:

The fact that Trudeau called an election, costing $600 million in the middle of the fourth wave of a pandemic has upset Canadians, and for good reason. He did so because he thought he could win a majority. Even worse, he said in the recent TVA French debate that if he wins another minority there will be another election in 18 months time. In other words he will spend us poor simply to get what he wants.

His ineptitude is catching up to him. I have many Liberal friends who confess they are going to vote Conservative. I’m hearing that critically important regions — like Ontario’s 905 and Vancouver suburbs — are swinging blue to be rid of this bunch in Ottawa.

 

 

After having his @$$ handed to him during the recent and singular English language debate and on the campaign trail, Justin is becoming more desperate and more vile:

A less aggressive tone would have been more prime ministerial. Trudeau would have tried to convince the anti-vaxxers of the benefits of getting vaccinated. Instead, he chose to push them further away by calling them a threat to others. There is some obvious political opportunism at play here, otherwise, there would have been no need to link his closest opponent (Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole) to the same protesters who are “putting our kids at risk.”

The SNC-Lavalin scandal should be political fodder:

 Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said he would “never” ask Jody Wilson-Raybould to lie, after an explosive book excerpt from the former Liberal cabinet minister alleged he wanted her to do just that.

 

Yes, about that:

In an extraordinary 17-minute phone call on Dec. 19, 2018, Wernick can be heard telling Wilson-Raybould that Trudeau was “determined” to find a way for Montreal-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin to get a deferred prosecution, despite Wilson-Raybould’s insistence that it was wrong to overrule the prosecution service’s decision to proceed with a trial.

“This is not a great place for me to be in,” Wilson-Raybould tells Wernick near the end of the phone call. “But what I am confident of is that I have given the Prime Minister my best advice to protect him and to protect the constitutional principle of prosecutorial independence.”

“Alright, but … I am worried about a collision then because he is pretty firm about this,” Wernick replies, referring to Trudeau. “I just saw him a few hours ago and this is really important to him.”

Ending the phone call, Wilson-Raybould tells Wernick she is waiting for “the other shoe to drop.”

“I am not under any illusion how the Prime Minister has and gets things that he wants,” she said.

Less than three weeks after that phone call, Wilson-Raybould was told she would be removed as justice minister and shuffled into a different cabinet role. She said the Prime Minister’s Office denied that it was over the SNC-Lavalin issue.

Wilson-Raybould’s evidence also includes lengthy text-message exchanges between herself and her chief of staff, Jessica Prince. In one conversation, Prince details a conversation she had on Dec. 18, 2018, with Trudeau’s top aides, Chief of Staff Katie Telford and then-Principal Secretary Gerald Butts.

Prince said that Telford and Butts were adamant that SNC-Lavalin get a deferred prosecution, and that Butts in particular didn’t care about respecting the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, given it had been created as an independent body under former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“Gerry kept talking about how it was created by Harper,” Prince said in a text message. “I was like ‘sure but it is what we have and we have to respect the statute.’ No scruples.”

 

This is not an election issue.

Why?

 

 

But you two will make deal with Justin when the opportunity arises, right?:

Quebec Premier François Legault was riled up after Wednesday night’s French-language debate. Speaking to reporters at the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) pre-session caucus in Quebec City, the premier bemoaned that none of the federal party leaders are willing to increase health transfers to the level provinces are asking for.

Bloc Québécois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet urged Trudeau to “grow a spine” (“fais-toi pousser une colonne”) during a debate on the environment (he also wanted Ottawa to use all the money that it spent on the Trans Mountain pipeline and give it to Quebec instead).
