The Prime Minister’s Office is dragging us into this muck: Coyne on the SNC Lavalin scandal

- National Post columnist Andrew Coyne speaks with Larysa Harapyn about how the SNC Lavalin scandal is damaging Canadian institutions.
Justin clearly over stepped his authority and must resign.
The fact that the Liberal Party does not vote no confidence in him as their leader shows the level of non-Canadian behaviour in the whole lot. I guess that explains why we are getting all these sick and degenerate laws in place. Andrew Scheer has a lot to undo as soon as he gets in.
@@JDS11ify Andrew Scheer will not undo much.
Baring in mind the difficulty Mr. Ford is having in Ontario in efforts to undo 15 years of Liberal socialism, I agree it will be difficult and the loud left will be screaming AND yelling. Scheer is the least corrupt between Max and he, and of course the NDP will drive us even further into debt. Hey, Singh stated he wants to legalize ALL drugs and will spend us into oblivion. If you elude that Max is the answer, he has a sketchy track record and, despite his bravado, will be no more successful than Scheer.
Not only resign, he should be tried like any criminal would and serve jail time in accordance with his crime.
@@JDS11ify... good points but who will UP HOLD THE LAW??
look at the facts, Steven Harper handed over this country to TRUDEA a Balance + Surplus budget... Now, look at the debt
Thank you National Post for saying what other mainstream publications or broadcast entities, we pay for, won't.
theyre saying it as mildy as possible too
they're at risk of losing their part of the 'approved media' 600 million dollars government money
@@steve_22xy The nerve of needing to actually earn the right to continue doing business!!! National Post doesn't have their hand out .....clearly
I am so proud of our media, they are reporting real news without being biased as news in the states has become. Bravo!!!!
@AC84 I can only tell you what I saw here. You believe what you want, I believe what I want based off what I saw. Ok? Bye bye.
SHAME on Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party. SHAME on Quebec for still supporting such a party.
The people who still think the PM is God’s gift to humanity should seek immediate psychiatric counseling
Andrew Coyne nails it. Even Liberals supporters should be ethical enough to insist on hearing the truth. The liberal tribe needs to take responsibility for their actions, they won't get away with blaming others, they are not above the law.
They know exactly who's buttering their bread and on which side. They're not about to bite the hands that feed them.
wraphand When are the idiot sheeple going to understand that they AREN’T ETHICAL?
Thank you National Post. It's refreshing to hear this.
If this isn't political interference I don't know what is?
Correct, and why are the RCMP , not doing anything about this yet. The facts have been released by Jody . Yet, not a move from the RCMP
Good luck to you............
Jody Wilson-Raybould keep going!
Andrew Coyne is very well spoken and lays out a very good argument for why Trudeau's shenanigans surrounding SNC should be taken very seriously by Canadians and not just shrugged off as an attempt to save jobs, which in itself is a false claim according to what the CEO of SNC has stated publicly.
Wernick lied to ths committee about the jobs. Thats perjury - he needs to be arrested
Unfortunately, he wasn't under oath
look what has happened to canada with 4 years of liberals
@scott scot84 Trump is better than Trudeau in all ways.
Trudeau looks worse everyday that goes by
I love Andrew for his honest, black and white analysis regardless of which political party is on the hot seat. He’s a class act and calls it how it is.
This guy has to go.
It's like a Broadway show with no end in sight. Make Canada great again and lock him up
I’m a tax payer. I would like answers
"What Canadians want is, uh, to, uh, not get answers. That's, uh... what Canadians want, uh, and, uh what they, uh, expect."
We are irrelevant in the liberal world. It will be reinforced if Scheer wins the election.
Trudeau must resign. Yellow vest
Great job mr. Coyne. That was clear and concise breakdown of the situation. Thanks for reporting the truth
House of Commons justice committee warrants a RCMP
Investigation.
I find it interesting that the Prime Minister's Principal Secretary(closest
advisor) is an ex lobbyist and Ex-CEO of World Wide Fund Canada.
Prior to his job as PS for the PM, he was the principal
secretary for Dalton McGuinty who resigned as leader of the liberal party 2013,
due to contempt motion related to an investigation and criminal probe.
As WWF Can CEO (2008-2012), Butts and colleges gained attention
from a German investigative journalist, with claims of how the WWF was
cooperating with corporations such as Monsanto, providing sustainability
certification in exchange for donations - essentially green-washing(exploiting
environmental issues for monetary gain).
On September 21, 2016, it was reported by The Globe and Mail
that Butts charged $126,669.56 in moving expenses to Canadian taxpayers to
relocate his residence from Toronto to Ottawa.
His statement inferred the PM and the liberal cabinet were not
guilty of intentional interference with (at the time) Attorney General Jody
Wilson-Raybould in the case of SNC-Lavalin. His reasoning was the rest of the
cabinet would have the collective moral insight to recognize and stop it. None
of them "felt" that she was being pressured, therefore it must not
have happened, even though "they" sought legal council for advise on
what they were legally allowed to do to facilitate a favorable verdict for
SNC-Lavalin prior to Wilson-Raybould resignation and after her stated decision.
The Attorney General's statement had been documented numerous times after her
initial warning to the PM to cease interference.
Now ask yourself, why would Butts resigned 6 days after Jody
Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott resign from her position in the cabinet as
President of the Treasury Board less than a month later after stating a lack of
confidence in the cabinet?
A key feature of Cabinet is the concept of collective
responsibility, which means that all Ministers share responsibility for the
administration of government and for the government's policies. They must all
support a Cabinet decisions. They may not agree with it, but they have to
support it in public. If a Minister cannot support a decision, he or she must
resign from Cabinet.
Meet the new Attorney General and the replacement Jody
Wilson-Raybould, David T. Lametti. He wrote his thesis "The Deon-Telos of
Private Property: Ethical Aspects of the Theory and Practice of Private ".
Lametti has already publicly stated Deferred prosecution agreement (DPA - which
is basically a get out of jail free card) is still on the table even in light
of the current situation.
(DPA) Bill C-74 which amended the Criminal Code regarding
sentencing and remediation agreements are now negotiated under the supervision
of a judge, between federal prosecuting authorities and a corporation charged
with an offence, usually in the context of fraud and/or corruption was
introduced in the March budget and came into effect in June 2018 was tabled by
the liberals. SNC-Lavalin was one of the first major companies in Canada to
seek the deferred prosecution agreement. Coincidence or smoke?
With all these players one could draw a conclusion.
Trudeau
- Bribed directly or indirectly by SNC-Lavalin
Gerald Butts
- Prime Minister's Principal Secretary(closest advisor)
- Lobbyist connection to both parties the facilitator of the bribe.
David T. Lametti
- Trudeau's new for legal pawn
Jane Philpott
- aware of bribe possibly in the form of campaign contributions to the liberal
party.
- Friend of Jody Wilson-Raybould
Jody Wilson-Raybould
- Whistle blower
- the most credible witness in this inquiry.
Follow the money and you'll find the real story.
PM must resign
SNC want a Smollett deal
For a media outlet to criticize Trudeau with the billions Trudeau has offered them... its real!
Trudeau needs to resign as suggested by Andrew Scheer after she first testified.
I'd rather he stay as PM so, come election time, LIBS ARE GONE! FOR SURE!
@Amanda Roloson Absolutely, well said Amanda!
Why is the NP the only major media staying on this???
Cost of apathy when a documented ignoramus gets appointed PM
No surprise. He has lied about numerous things since he became the head of the ottawa crime family. The librano$.
Or "soy-pranos".
Lies over time they equal surface. ~ Gord Downie
The courts in Canada have always been political; it is nice that you are pretending the rule of law happens in Canada but when the Supreme Court rules that the truth is not a defense we don't have rule of law. {Sask vs Whatcott}
Johnny Well spoken!
Well said Andy.
Probably the smartest thing I have heard Andrew Coyne say yet.
I can't wait to hear the non answering during question period on Monday. I wish he would either step down or call a early election. I am worried about the future damage he will do from now till October. What will he jam through with his majority government on a fast sinking ship? He is such a narcissist and spoiled entitled brat who never been held accountable for anything in his life. Just do one right thing Trudeau, and step down or call a election Mon morning. This insanity has to stop.
Tampon boy. Creates laws to make himself invisible
Wow, this was such a refreshingly professional interview!
Thank you Andrew Coyne and National Post. This is the BEST interview I have seen on this topic as I hit the "subscribe" button. Let's just call a spade a spade.
The ELEPHANT in the nation; Why arnt we/they Talking about the RCMP?
SPEAKING OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
In politics if children apologize for the father's mistakes...
ethic and Liberal is difficult to say in same sentence
If you love him …….keep him , if not...….get rid of him . There is more of us , it is our country ,
he is just a spoiled punk .
"The PM wants to know why you haven't made a decision", is not intimidating, or interfering. There has been no threats, or interference, provided. Just a bitter ag who didn't like being pressured TO DO HER JOB.
It's not the PMO that's doing the dragging; it's Wilson-Raybould and some journalists.
I just want to know those people who voted him 4yrs ago what they are thinking now? Are they still supporting this PM?
Amen
How about a story about the BROOKS ALBERTA NO GO ZONE???
The community needs to move in and shut it down. It doesn't fit with our culture.
What is this? I'm in Northern Alberta and haven't heard anything about this.
Let me guess, East African pirates?
I always respect Andrew Coyne's perspective.
Well and strongly said Andrew. One comment: only the police can lay charges in complicated matters and are there to assist citizens while criminal charges. That does not preclude any one laying a criminal charge and putting it to the Crown to proceed if appropriate. You nailed the situation perfect and succinctly.
Spot on !
People forget, she helped WRITE the addendum to the budget that introduced the DPA that was done with SNC-Lavalin in mind! She voted "YEA" on June 6th, than without explanation, she changed her mind! People forget that SHE changed her mind, not the Prime Minister.
@joe lukasik "no she didnt change her mind, the report clearly was SNC did not qualify for a DPA under the rules " Rules that SHE HELPED WRITE JUST MONTHS EARLIER!! The report didn't CLEARLY state SNC didn't qualify for a DPA, it was split. "the PM tried to obstruct justice by trying to force her to change her mind" No, he was trying to figure out what was going on! When there's 9,000 jobs at stake, don't you think you owe those people a reason? She never gave one!
Not sure if I can trust the NP, but this is promising.
I want someone to disclose the donor list of the Trudeau FOUNDATION. PERIOD!!!!!!
Andrew just presented the best summation of this scandal to date.
The government has to much freedom and power every bill proposed by the government should be approved by an independent Senate appointed by the people
Vote for the right party in October.
She was a Minister of Justice and an Attorney General - make her a Judge - three in one bottle.
It's time for a real change Vote Max Bernier for Prime Minister of CANADA People's Party of Canada
À new PM please
Well said!!!
Jail time for politicians!
ON TOP OF IT ALL WE GET TO ENJOY TRUDOPES CARBON TAX STARTING ON APRIL FOOLS DAY
It's Justin Castro, open your eyes people he sure doesn't look like Pierre but is the spitting image of younger Fidel
Lets go out and vote to crush the liberals to non partystatus.
Very well said
unbelievable that the PM has thr balls not to resign
Tired of getting laws rammed down our throats
Very impressive to see at least ONE major publication not attempting to spin the SNC travesty. I often wondered where Trudeau's gonads were, it appears NP and Andrew Coyne have more than enough! Props to you and Larysa for shining a light in the murk.
Andrew Coyne. Andrew Coyne and Canadian institutions in the same sentence? Give me a break.
Balance the books and make them available to us
Canadian politics sounding more and more like US politics. Too much central power in the leader's office being abused....
The majority of Canadians are smart enough to recognize what the PM is doing , has done and will continue to do to try and save his ass. He has dug a hole that is way too slippery and deep to climb out of now. He is a sad excuse for a leader and clearly as corrupt as they come.
For peoplekind!
Leave the Prime Minister alone. He has a job to do.👈👀
GOD will deal with these criminals in good time Peace
The governing party would only be able to make proposals
Andrew Coyne interviewed by Diana of Themyscira.
Conservatives everywhere love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
on point
Trudeau needs to resign now and Canadians need to stand up and speak out and demand it!
Liberal feds need to go the way of Ont. Liberals
All cabinet members are over 60 years of age
So, Canadians, who's going to vote for Trudeau and the liberals this October? Those that will, my advice is seek professional help.
I M PROUD TO SAY IM NO LONGER A LIBERAL trudeau has to gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
HIGH SCHOOLS DONE NOW FRIEND TIME TO START THINKING FOR YOUR SELF AND PAY OFF YOUR PERSONAL DEBT
Our Media is doing it's job. Look and learn USA.
They already know what happened and would rather cover it up as to serve the Canadian people that's fucking clear and if its anything like it is down here the press will help them cover it up
Trudeau has got to GO!
There are many opinions surrounding this issue! There are several lawyers that have voiced their opinions; ones that don't agree with this message! What does Mr Coyne have against Mr Trudeau? The public opinion is pretty split on who to believe!
Ya not really. . JWR put the Independence of the Judaical system above political interference and party politics. Only those with the inability to think independently or separate party loyalty could not see that, and could not see Trudeau is a lying rat.
There is a medical name for someone how doesn't understand that lying is not a good trait to have. Having no scruples come to mind but there is other names for it. The idea of scruples has to do with ethics and morality: what is right and wrong. If you had no scruples at all, you'd just kill, steal, cheat, and do God knows what else. Scruples are a kind of moral compass that lets you know what's right. Often people use this word in an outraged way when someone does something bad: "Don't you have any scruples?" Liars, thieves, criminals, and politicians have fewer scruples than the rest of us.
The PM may have crossed the line but Jody works for the PM, do what he says or should have resigned sooner.
It would be interesting to take a poll on which version of SNC Lavalin you believe: JWR's or Trudeau's. Outside of Quebec, probably few people will side with Trudeau. He's changed his story several times and is acting like a criminal with something to hide.
Trudeau should do the honorable thing and resign, but of course though he's always going to have the title Right Honorable, there's nothing honorable about him. We should vote to change his title to Right Dishonorable. Unless he grows a pair and resigns on his own, members of his caucus should each grow a pair and force him to resign. I know my local Liberal MP quite well and I told the member the other day that if the honorable member keeps supporting the PM and keep trashing the opposition like he has been, while we'll still be friends, not to bother calling me, not to bother coming to my house or my street for that fact asking for votes, because neither myself nor anyone on my street will cast our ballots for this MP. I said the choice is yours, it's either us or him.
Nah I think dictator sums it up nicely ..
What makes this even more odious is that Trudeau was merely a substitute drama teacher with no experience or intellect to run a country, now dragging not only Jody Wilson-Raybould into the mud, but also a highly educated, experienced, respected jurist. Quite sickening! This dancing buffoon - now outed as an unethical, pretend feminist, dancing buffoon - has got to go. Shame on anyone who throws ethics and common sense to the wind to vote for him again. More insidious than his obvious attempts to obstruct justice is his love affair with the UN Migrant Compact, that he vows to bring to Canada -- first it will be by strong-arm persuasion or back-door entrance, then by legislation -- then? No more Canada! No intelligent, decent person in his/her right mind can possibly vote for this boy again.
I enjoy watching Andrew Coyne lay it on the line on CBC'S "AT ISSUE" panel while the LIBERAL BIASED host ROSEMARY BARTON and panelist CHANTAL HEBERT vibrate in their chairs every time he skewers TURDEAU'S Liberals on SNC-LAVALIN. #defundCBC
There you have it Mr. Coyne. The discussion rendered from your consideration, speaks not well of either.
Andrew's agenda is Scheer genius.
🇨🇦 CANADIANS MUST FORCE PM TRUDEAU TO RESIGN NOW LIBS DO YR DUTY!!!🇨🇦
In other words, the cover up made it worse. Had Trudeau allowed JWR to speak before the Justice and Ethics Committees, Butts, Wernick and others would have been identified and removed. Those two resigned anyways so this mess is all Trudeau's doing. He is getting all the attention he has earned by not coming clean to begin with.
All members of parliament are part time and get paid little
This "telephone Call" took place "WHEN" (that is significant according to the timeline)
But look back at when she gave her testimony? (it was LONG Before this Phone call WAS Released!)
But Fair is Fair, right?
It didnt take long Before Trudeaus hench people went On The Attack.
The notion that SHE was naive, show boating or exaggerating was the liberal message to the public.
Basically trying to SMEAR HER!
SHE COULD HAVE PRODUCED THIS LONG AGO.
But, it Became her; Ace in the WHOLE...
She had SEEN Justin; In Action, long enough to know How He Operates.
And the phone call portrays him as a blithering cry baby idiot.
(and his little Yes Man on the phone)
I'd say;
1. she handled herself brilliantly.
2. that she KNEW this new pork chop legislation was introduced (snuck in) primarily For this Case.
3. I think she should run for office.
I wish Trudeau's critics were more honest on this. Not saying his critics are completely false just that they do not get to the heart of the problem with Trudeau **and the Liberal Party.** IMO this is a bigger problem than even the critics think.
First off, I must say I am **kind of** in agreement with Trudeau's supporters. I do not think Trudeau is a bad guy BUT I do strongly believe Trudeau is surrounded by wormtounges, most likely remnants of the corrupt Liberal Party from 2005. Do you see why I am bothered with focusing on Justin so much? If Justin is criminally charged, the people pushing him into this get away. Putting a not-so-intelligent fall guy in jail or impeaching him does not fix much.
I get it, Justin is 48 years old, he should be able to handle himself but do you really believe that based on his actions? I get strong "child emperor" vibes from Justin Trudeau.
Mr Selfie has been out of his depth since day one. We are the laughing stock of the western world and deserve the ridicule presently coming our way. Too many people at the trough in Ottawa. Been there too long and just hoping to ride the gravy train a while longer and continuing to manipulate the system for their own benefit in the meantime. No system is perfect. Just that ours is terribly imperfect under Trudeau and his cronies.
