But Wait! There's More!

There often is ...




Oh, this doesn't look good:

Celina Caesar-Chavannes has informed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that she’s leaving the federal Liberal caucus and will sit as an independent MP.

The Whitby, Ont., MP has been a vocal supporter of Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, two cabinet ministers who resigned over the SNC-Lavalin affair.

She also accused Trudeau earlier this month of yelling at her angrily when she informed him that she would not be seeking re-election this fall — an accusation the Prime Minister’s Office has denied.

 
More women are leaving Justin's "2015" cabinet.

I wonder why.

Oh, this is why:

During Question Period, Conservative House Leader Candice Bergen absolutely shredded Justin Trudeau’s fake feminist image.

She slammed the dishonest PM for his corrupt cover-up, and for doing the bidding of SNC-Lavalin, a company accused of hiring prostitutes for the son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi.

Bergen noted that Trudeau seems to like yelling and screaming at women, a total contradiction of his supposed ‘feminist’ image.

Following the shredding, Michelle Rempel followed up and continued to destroy Trudeau’s fake feminism, forcing a defensive Trudeau to try and salvage his crumbling manipulations.

As with all leftist men who scream their virtue from the rooftops, his shallowness and paper-thin veneer of an even temper dissipates when a woman stands up to him. When he does not get his way, he either reacts angrily or crumbles.

 
Also:

In a wide-ranging article that touches on her photography, her affairs, and her separation from Pierre Trudeau, Margaret reveals that her former husband, the late Prime Minister, was physically violent toward her and “slugged” her, giving her a black eye.

(Thumbs up)




The scandal that just won't die: 

Q: Have all of the things that concerned you about the handling of that file come to light at the committee?

A: No. There’s much more to the story that should be told.

Q: What sort of stuff?

A: I believe the former attorney general has further points to make. I believe that I have further issues of concern that I’m not free to share. There was a reference by Gerry Butts in his testimony of the fact that I spoke to the Prime Minister on January the 6th about SNC-Lavalin’s desire to have a DPA [deferred prosecution agreement]. This was more than a month before the story became public. And I ordinarily would have not been allowed to share that information. But of course it’s already on the public record from the Justice Committee. I think Canadians might want to know why I would have raised that with the Prime Minister a month before the public knew about it. Why would I have felt that there was a reason why former Minister Wilson-Raybould should not be shuffled?


Q: In what forum would you like to discuss all of this?

A: My sense is that Canadians would like to know the whole story. I believe we actually owe it to Canadians as politicians to ensure that they have the truth. They need to have confidence in the very basic constitutional principle of the independence of the justice system.

Justin's lackeys do not like this one bit:

Here’s what NDP MP Alistair MacGregor said he heard:

“I had the chance to listen to Liberal benches across aisle in the @OurCommons as the @janephilpott story broke in @macleans. Really sad to see them use words like “pathetic” and “betrayal” to describe her. It’s like the Liberals have total blinders on to principled actions.”

Rule # 1: we don't talk about corruption club.


Ask Justin:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is rejecting the assertion by one of his former cabinet ministers that "there's much more to the story that needs to be told" when it comes to exactly what went down in the SNC-Lavalin affair. ...

Trudeau waived cabinet confidentiality and solicitor-client privilege following intense pressure from critics demanding answers to the allegations.

But the waiver for Wilson-Raybould only allowed her to speak about what happened while she was attorney general.

If there is nothing to hide then there is no need to muzzle anyone, Justin.


Also:

Tories in the Senate are urging senators appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to prove their independence by inviting former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify at committee.

In the mean time, the Tories fight the good fight:

When Finance Minister Bill Morneau tabled his final budget before October’s federal election, it was supposed to be the white horse that the Trudeau Liberals would ride to certain victory.

Thus far it has been lost in distraction, all but unnoticed.

The House of Commons, for example, was locked up with all lights on overnight in a marathon voting session regarding some 250 motions concocted by the Conservatives to punish Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his gang of idol worshippers for abruptly shutting down the justice committee delving into the Lavscam scandal.

Lavscam, of course, is the Stink That Won’t Go Away.

This budget:

According to a new Leger poll, a mere 12% of Canadians say the budget was ‘good.’

19% say it was ‘bad.’


39% say they don’t really know about the budget.

(Sidebar: just so you know, undecided people who can't think for themselves, you won't even be good enough to get into hell. That's how sad you are.)




There would be no need for compensation if the government did its g-d- job and turned away people who illegally crossed into Canada:

The federal government is planning to pay just over $400,000 to residents around a rural Quebec road where an influx of asylum seekers has been crossing the border illegally since 2017.

The lump-sum payments are meant to compensate those living near Roxham Road for the increase in traffic and noise levels related to the thousands of irregular asylum seekers who have entered Quebec at the unofficial crossing point in Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle.

The federal government will make payments to 45 households, according to a document tabled in the House of Commons on Monday in response to a question from Conservative MP Ted Falk. Eight of those households will receive $25,000 each, as they are closest to the end of Roxham Road and the U.S. border. Another 15 households located slightly further away will receive $10,000 each, and 22 households located along the thoroughfare leading to the nearest highway will receive $2,500 each, for a total payout of $405,000.

According to the document, the government has budgeted up to $485,000 for the compensation, in case other eligible households are identified. A spokesperson for Border Security Minister Bill Blair confirmed on Wednesday that the payment process isn’t yet complete.

Yet more money for autistic students:

The Ontario government’s new autism program – the target of parent protests across the province – will be revised to eliminate income testing, expand eligible services and extend the life of individual child behaviour plans.

Children, Community and Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod said Ontario will now spend more per capita on autism services than any other jurisdiction in North America.

“We’re right now at $331 million,” MacLeod said Thursday. “We’re prepared to go further to support those enhancements.”

Censors are cowards.

Case in point:

In the fall, I am planning to produce a series of lectures on the Exodus stories. I presume they will have equal drawing power. I thought that I could extend my knowledge of the relevant stories by spending time in Cambridge, and that doing so would be useful for me, for faculty members who might be interested in speaking with me, and to the students. I also regarded it as a privilege and an opportunity. I believed (and still believe) that collaborating with the Faculty of Divinity on such a project would constitute an opportunity of clear mutual benefit.

Now the Divinity school has decided that signaling their solidarity with the diversity-inclusivity-equity mob trumps that opportunity — or so I presume. You see, I don’t yet know, because (and this is particularly appalling) I was not formally notified of this decision by any representative of the Divinity school. I heard about the rescinded offer through the grapevine, via a colleague and friend, and gathered what I could about the reasons from social media and press coverage.

It’s not going to make much difference to my future, regardless. I have more opportunities at the moment than I can keep track of, let alone capitalize on. In the fall, I will produce the lectures I plan to produce on Exodus, regardless of whether they occur in the UK or in Canada or elsewhere, and they will attract whatever audience remains interested. But I think that it is deeply unfortunate that the authorities at the Divinity school in Cambridge decided that kowtowing to an ill-informed, ignorant and ideologically-addled mob trumped participating in an extensive online experiment in mass Christian and psychological education. Given the continued decline of church attendance, the rise in atheistic or agnostic sentiment, the increasing irrelevance of theological education and the collapse in interest in such matters among young people, wiser and more profound decisions might have been made.

Catering to a mob has not diminished Professor Peterson's vigor nor the demand for him, it seems.

So much for that!
