Liberal Scandals Piling up

[killramos]

Yea. I’m guessing this really isn’t “nothing”.

[revelations]

Until the fed/provincial governments enact recall legislation, this is just more noise.

Once election time comes, then this news can all come out.

Other than that, its just more negative news from the mass media. This is exactly why I cut MSM/TV decades ago. When I am ready to make a decision (ie voting time) is when I look at whats going on and what info has been brought out.

Its all the same shit.

MSM: 'GUESS WHAT, SOME SHIT HAS HAPPENED IN OTTAWA!!!!'

ME: welp, how is this different than any other Trudeau scandal, or any other scandal for that matter? Its just a media frenzy of drama and revenue for them. In the end, the one party gets voted out (maybe years later) and life goes on.

Nothing about Scheer could be classified as good

Agreed, all he has is "I'm not Trudeau". Make Andy Sell Insurance Again!

Also, can anyone explain to me what the big deal about SNC is and why I should care?

[killramos]

Depends if you care about whether or not a big company from Quebec is so deep in bed with the government that they can get legislation hidden in the budget that allows them to avoid criminal prosecution, that when said company is charged with something that the government will lean on the attorney general to make the prosecution go away, or that it appears said corruption goes right up to the level of the prime ministers office.

'scandals sinking governemts'

SRS question - when has a scandal ever immediately 'sunk' a government in Canada, in the last 30 years?

As far as I know, its usually carried over to the election events. All this is, is just noise and more clicks to sell from the media.

The small list of minor scandals is what sunk the libs last time when Harper got in. Gun registry, adscam,

I feel like we are still living with the same twisted media nonsense the US was prior to their election. By all media accounts, the majority voice was completely retarded and Hillary was going to win by a landslide, and based on most news here in Canada you'd think the majority voice is shouting Hooray! for Liberals. Based on history and what has been going on, it would seem to me like Federal election is going to be a sea of blue.

Feel like the liberals are going to do everything they can to get this done with ASAP so it can't be stretched out to the summer. Had this broke in June, they'd be toast. They have lots of time to wait for Smiley Sheer to fukup

My statement wasn't anything to do with the SNC scandal directly. When you look at what got the Liberals out last time, it was very minor compared to the massively compounding debt and stacking up of scandals going on now.

I don't know how one can refer to Adscam as a 'minor scandal' and think there is a 'stacking up' of scandals that is worth talking about today.

[HiTempguy1]

Rumor mill churning in Ottawa, with Butt's resignation, supposedly more shit is coming down the pipe.

Don't worry Brett, Scheer and Kenney will destroy your liberal sensibilities in no time flat

[kertejud2]

The biggest saving grace Trudeau and the Liberals have right now is that Scheer and Singh are the other party leaders. Harper or Layton (or hell, even Mulcair) would have actually been able to capitalize on this.

Pretty much, Scheer doesn't even resonate with card carrying conservatives, most seem to want a leadership do over.

Because reality is a hell of a drug? I didn't say Adscam was minor. I said it's minor in comparison to what has been going on since the last Federal Election. I get it, 10million dollars of misappropriated funds isn't minor in and of itself(even though every government has done it forever, Liberals were just the ones that got caught). But compared to the billions that have been lit on fire by the current Liberals, on top of the stacking scandals that follow them around, Adscam seems quite a bit minor in comparison.

The fix is in, whatever the outcome, SNC is coming out of this fine. Liberals sure cocked this up for themselves, they could have just kept Raybould happy and enacted these changes. They are incompetently corrupt, which is hilarious.

Watching the results come in for the three Fed by-elections tonight and people are still voting Liberal. Blows me away that people would vote for a rotten to the core political party but I guess we are all idiots at one point or another in our lives.

[Buster]

Canada, as a nation, is essentially a vehicle for Liberal and Quebec corruption. It's been that way for generations.

Isn't there a thread about western separation around here?

When you say people, you meant Quebec. And you are talking about a riding that has been a Liberal stronghold for a century before orange wave knock them out.

it was not 100% liberal. The NDP won in south Burnaby, Cons in suburban Ont, Libs in Montreal.

I still believe if Quebec separates in 1995 this country is in a much better place today and it's not that I hate Quebecers. This country is so slanted to pleasing one province that the rest (outside of Ontario) are much less prosperous than they could be if we didn't all have to subsidize Quebec. Whether it's the stuff we know such as Adscam, SNC, Bombardier, etc or the millions under the table we don't know about it's actually very disturbing how this level of corruption in federal government has somehow become acceptable by a lot of Canadians.

[revelations]

The only viable solution I can see is to transfer even more power to the provinces and cut this massive socialist spending spree that props up failed and corrupt systems like QC.

AB has resources, so does QC (Hydro), BC,MB (Hydro), SK etc, its not like they would fold over night.

Make Ottawa just a stop for the foreign dignitaries and lessen its overall importance. Provide border services and military.

Dont separate, just decentralize.
