Forget the faux-scandals about Trump. There’s a real scandal in our holier-than-thou northern neighbor.(snip)
Politically-inspired tampering with the machinery of justice is a problem everywhere, so here’s what Canada did, back when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister. It took the decision about whom to prosecute from the politician who serves as Attorney-General in the cabinet and handed it to a Director of Public Prosecutions. The DPP is a career civil servant, who is given broad independence even though he operates under the Attorney-General.
So here’s what happened. The Canadian DPP recommended that SNC Lavalin, a $10 billion-a-year Montreal-based company with 50,000 employees worldwide, be prosecuted for bribing foreign officials. If convicted, the construction company would be barred for ten years from government contracts, and it let the Trudeau government know if it were prosecuted it would move from Montreal. That’s when Trudeau pressured the Attorney-General to shut down the prosecution, and when she refused fired her.
That might have been the end of it, except for what happened next. The former Attorney-General, a native Canadian named Jody Wilson-Raybould, went public.(snip)
After all the preening and moralizing from Trudeau and members of his cabinet, after all their smirks about the Trump administration, it’s nice to see their hypocrisy exposed to all the world by a brave lady.(snip)
Ain’t karma wonderful?

Young Trudeau is in a world of hurt right now... this ain’t going away very fast or easily.
tagline
why did you find it necessary to brand “Canadians” as “holier than thou” when the scandal is the creation of the Liberal Party of Canada, which does not represent”all Canadians” any more than Trumps Conservatives or Clinton’s Democrats represent all Americans....the importance of this issue is the corruption on the left notwithstanding national boundaries. more investigation and less stereotyping please....
