Jesus Christ. F in the chat for the national post's comment moderation team
'john Morris' has made like 4 veild rape threats against JT in the last 15 minutes. Unreal.
Full disclosure: I would rather a gerbil with distemper for PM than JT, but I'd rather that same gerbil be stuck in a cage with my balls than have pollievre for PM.
Lil PP would destroy this country.
He'd continue what he's doing now. Chasing conspiracy theories, and looking to create a home run scandal to own the Libs. He's been an MP for 19 years and has one legislation accomplishment in that time https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/pierre-poilievre
He also never had a real legitimate job in his entire life.
Lil PP omg! xD
This years mix tape that no one asked for.
Why are we allowing National Post articles? This one's already been discredited
While under oath, when asked if there was pressure, Wilson-Raybould stated no. CORRECTION: (I was not recalling this correctly. It was in an interview afterward and not under oath. My apologies)
You got a link on that?
I do not. It wasn't during testimony or questioning. it was during an interview afterward here https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jody-wilson-raybould-interview-transcript-1.5086036
There's more here. I guess if the Cons are going to put us through this clownshow again, we need to get read in on what we know: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/gerry-butts-testifies-commons-committee-updates-1.5044709
From the link you posted below:
When asked about Michael Wernick:
I, over the course of many months, had a sustained level of political pressure on me to interfere with a prosecution βΒ a situation that I found to be untenable.
Like all good politicians, it sounds like Trudeau outsourced the pressure to his bagmen:
The prime minister never directed me to interfere in the prosecution.
But
political pressure that wasΒ placed upon me to interfere with a prosecution, which is something that is entirely inappropriate.
So, sure did Trudeau get in her face and threaten her? No. Did his people? Yes.
Is Trudeau ultimately responsible for that? Yes.
I think not. Is it possible Wernick was just a lousy employee? Yes it is. The bottom line is Wilson Raybould had an axe to grind. Many crappy employees lash out. It happens.
