More thoughts on the SNC-Lavalin Scandal

Terence Corcoran, of the Financial Post has it right in his article at:

Perhaps it is the holier than thou attitude of the Trudeau Liberals and the Attorney
General in particular.  Will we ever know?  As I understand it, the crimes of SNC-Lavalin relate, not to their plying the Trudeau Liberals with mucho dinero as corrupt campaign financing, but to the bribes paid to the completely corrupt Gaddafi regime in Libya.  Almost every major corporation doing business with those creeps pays bribes.  Nothing new there.  No harm done at home in Canada.  Why cause SNC-Lavelin to fail and leave Canada?

The real problem seems to be that the Liberals are too damned high and mighty moralistically-speaking to own up to why they wanted to help resolve the case lawfully by a so-called 'remedial agreement', just as most other countries deal with such problems.  Perhaps an overly moralistic Attorney General did not get the message.  Hoist by their own petard, they were - to quote how Yoda, the Jedi would have phrased it.  Just another instance of incompetence by the Trudeau Liberals captured by their ideological purity fetish.  For this, and many other gaffes and failures, they deserve to go down.  Its like petulant children in control of the family.

This is how I imagine the NDP would handle such a problem.  They are cut from the same cloth as  JT.  The big problem, is they are puppets of the unions that finance them and their only loyalty is to the unions and not to Canada.  I wonder how it feels to be in the clutches of those corrupt forces?

The Conservatives, under Scheer, may be able to put together a more mature government, but little of that is evident so far.


The only honest party on the horizon, Maxime Bernier's Peoples Party of Canada, is the only one apparently not dominated by compromises of principle typical of today's politics.  His chances of winning the next election seem slim.  Too bad.
