Re: Corrections Canada Scandal

The JWR/SNC truth-bomb was so subjective and bullshyte that Mario Dion, the ethics watchdog, an independent officer of parliament appointed by the Liberals, "concluded the prime minister broke ethics law when he pressured Jody Wilson-Raybould, who was attorney general at the time, to halt the criminal prosecution of Montreal firm SNC-Lavalin".

c'mon ConspiracyG - it seems Opposition Parties were quite against your boy Mario's appointment: Opposition once slammed appointment of ethics watchdog behind SNC-Lavalin report... and now he's their BFF! Of course, he's Harper's guy from the very beginning, where Harper appointed him to 2 key positions - unfortunately for him, in 2014, AG Michael Ferguson publicly rebuked Dion's performance as the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner of Canada. And by-the-by, PM Trudeau (and top PMO aides) recused themselves from the Dion appointment as the then Commissioner was investigating the so-called "Aga Khan" affair at the time.[/quote]

in the ensuing time period, several additional critiques of the failed Dion report have come forward... beyond the 2 the waldo initially made. Reading you hyping the failed Dion report is gold, real gold!  ;D

Quote from: Errol Mendes - professor of constitutional and international law, president of the International Commission of Jurists, Canada, and a recipient of the Order of Ontario
There seems to have been a serious misinterpretation of his own act and his jurisdiction by the ethics commissioner. There needs to be far more in depth discussion of the accuracy of this report among government, the media and indeed the public deciding whether the report will influence their vote in the coming election.

While there can be legitimate discussions on whether the prime minister and his officials crossed a line in their attempts to influence the decision of the attorney general in terms of the Shawcross doctrine, in terms of ministerial and cabinet responsibility, it should not be part of any application of Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act.

good times! I just read a post where I challenged {certain} members to cite/name any prominent authoritative persons who went on the record agreeing with the failed analysis done by Dion in his "ethics report"... still waiting ConspiracyG, still waiting!
