It is funny how short everyone's memory is.

The liberals have been in for 3 years. Harper was in for almost a decade and we faced cut after cut under him too. IN FACT if a conservative government had not MUZZLED science and SLASHED DFO funding and not TAKEN bribes from commercial interests including fish farms and commercial fishermen maybe just maybe we wouldn't be in this mess!

We know where the conservative governments priorities are and it's not protecting the environment or the creatures that live there. But hey they might give you a tax cut if your income is high enough.

Could we see some documented proof on this please. We have documented proof your poster boy is corrupt that’s been documented and testified on but sorry we haven’t seen anything in regards to Harper taking bribes from any of these groups. But please show us these documents very interested to see them.

Can you list a few of the scientific revelations that have come from the current government?
 
Soooo all G7 countries promise 20million in funding for the Amazon fires! Our great leader Justin puts in for that and adds 15million to that from your pocket.. wtf? Did anyone tell him he’s not at the casino??

He really like to showboat at these international conventions
 
He wants a seat in the U.N. and is doing his best to get there on our $. I'm hoping for a minority government because I don't think any one of the contenders are capable of running our country.
 
Technically I admit the word "Bribes" is overstepping, but in my eyes when a certain lobby group contributes to a political party everyone knows its not out of the goodness of their heart. It's an I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine scenario.

Go ahead and pick this apart the article only talks about how DFO (federal gov) is in bed with the industry and also talks about the contributions from the industry to the provincial government not the federal but the time frame is during Harper and for me this is good enough. We know the fish farm lobby's contribute to the conservative party of Canada you dig it up if you really want to see how much $$.

JT isn't my man although I suppose I did vote for him last time. But it's fun to stir the pot with all you staunch conservatives who blame all your problems on the liberals.

Can I add something to the pot?

Apparently our federal courts are going to give the convicted terrorists who plotted an attack on via rail a second trial. And they could be eligible for parole to boot! Happy day right?

Somebody's got to step in and stop this **** our court systems caters to the criminals we are going to waste so much money re-trying those guys. If the conservatives will toughen up our court systems and stop letting convicted criminals off on technicalities then they will get my vote.
 
Bah I don’t care, it’s not worth the aggravation in my life lol.

Here’s to Trudeau getting flushed down the toilet and every other left wing loser politician with him.

Are you for some reason assuming that past party approaches to the economy are being abandoned and that only policy decisions specifically announced in the runup to this election count?

Because if that's the case I have some bad news for you. Here is Macleans' running total of economic policy announcements:

If only policy announcements count, I guess you'll have to agree that everyone else has even less of a plan than Scheer.



Or wait, would announcements under the heading of "Taxes" also qualify?

Protip: holding back your policy statements for the election campaign is the standard, not the exception. The fact that people aren't super familiar with a ton of policy statements is because Scheer has only started making them.

Which, obviously, Trudeau has yet to do. I hope the CPC can count on your vote.

Could you supply a link to this so we can track the policy as they come out.
 
The short answer is "a lot of baloney" and given the source why would that surprise anyone.

Baloney Meter: Is the RCMP investigating people in the PMO over SNC-Lavalin?

OTTAWA — "Clearly the RCMP are taking this seriously enough to start investigating individuals in the Prime Minister's Office."

— Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer on the SNC-Lavalin scandal, Sept. 11 in Ottawa

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was eager to talk about the latest development in the ongoing saga of SNC-Lavalin as he prepared to board his campaign plane Wednesday, an issue that threatens to haunt Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau ahead of the Oct. 21 election.

The Globe and Mail published a story late the night before the election was called, saying the RCMP has been looking into potential obstruction of justice in the SNC-Lavalin affair, and that the federal police force was not granted access to any more materials than ethics commissioner Mario Dion had received as he conducted his own examination.

Dion's report, released last month, concluded Trudeau had contravened the Conflict of Interest Act when he tried to pressure former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould into intervening to head off criminal proceedings on corruption charges against the Montreal engineering giant.

"Clearly the RCMP are taking this seriously enough to start investigating individuals in the Prime Minister's Office," Scheer said Wednesday.

Is the RCMP really investigating people in the PMO? During an election campaign?

The RCMP has never said it is investigating the Liberal government — or, as Scheer claimed, people in the PMO — in relation to the SNC-Lavalin affair.

The most the national police force said, when everyone was looking for a reaction to the report from the ethics commissioner, was that it was "examining this matter carefully with all available information" and would follow up if need be.

Now that an election campaign is officially underway, the RCMP is saying even less.

"Unfortunately, we are not in a position to confirm anything in that regard at this time," said Stephanie Dumoulin, a spokeswoman for the RCMP National Division, which deals with cases that are considered sensitive for political and other reasons.

The Liberal campaign flatly denied anyone in the PMO has been called up by the RCMP.

"No member of staff has been contacted and no materials have been requested," Joe Pickerill, a Liberal campaign spokesman, said in an email when asked to respond to the statement by Scheer. The response applies to both current and former staffers, he elaborated.

Later on Wednesday, the Liberal campaign added the RCMP has not contacted Trudeau, Finance Minister Bill Morneau or Justice Minister David Lametti, who succeeded Wilson-Raybould in a January cabinet shuffle.

Trudeau has defended himself by insisting he was acting in the best interests of Canadians.

The Conservative campaign, meanwhile, said Scheer was basing his statement on the information in the story.

"The story refers to 'investigators,' " said spokesman Simon Jefferies.

"Investigators investigate things," he said in an email. "The Trudeau Liberals are playing ridiculous word games."

One of the problems is that "investigation" can mean different things to different people — even the police.

Natalie Wright, spokeswoman for the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, said there is no one standard across the country.

"Once the police receive an inquiry or a complaint, there may be a number of levels before it becomes an official investigation," said Wright.

Chris Mathers, a former RCMP officer who is now a security consultant, said the police could be gathering evidence and reviewing public information before their work reaches the level of an official investigation, which he acknowledged can be a nebulous term.

"It's all semantics, really, but until the cops show up at your door, who knows what the hell is going on?" he said.

Semantics aside, there is no evidence to date the RCMP has begun investigating individuals in the PMO, which is what Scheer said was happening.

The only person to have gone on the record about having been contacted by the RCMP over how the Liberals handled SNC-Lavalin is Wilson-Raybould. She confirmed the RCMP contacted her about the issue in the spring.

Wilson-Raybould told the Globe and Mail Wednesday she had been interviewed by RCMP officers earlier this week and has had other telephone conversations with the police since Dion's report came out.

The timing of the spring contact with the RCMP also suggests no official investigation was underway.

The Conflict of Interest Act requires the federal ethics commissioner to immediately suspend his own examination if he learns the police have launched an investigation into the same issue, or if related charges have been laid.

The ethics commissioner must allow that process to run its course before he can resume his own probe.

That never happened, as Dion began his investigation the day after the Globe and Mail published its first story on the allegations and kept going until he published his report six months later.

It is clear that Scheer is trying to suggest that where there is smoke, there is fire.

Still, that does not mean it was accurate for him to say what he did with such certainty.

For those reasons, Scheer's assertion that the RCMP has started investigating people in the PMO contains "a lot of baloney" — it is mostly inaccurate, but contains an element of truth.

LILLEY: RCMP were blocked from fully investigating Trudeau's office on SNC obstruction claims

We now have it confirmed: The RCMP have been investigating the possibility that someone in the Trudeau government obstructed justice in the SNC-Lavalin case.
The news was revealed in a bombshell report by the Globe and Mail issued less than 12 hours before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was to visit Rideau Hall and kick off the 2019 election.
This isn’t a matter of speculation or partisan spin. This isn’t something that Liberal supporters can dismiss as people inventing a scandal where there is none. We know the RCMP have been looking into the matter because they have been interviewing people involved in the case and seeking documents.
And the government has blocked them from doing so.
That is the shocking part.
The Clerk of the Privy Council has determined that cabinet confidence is more important than a police investigation into obstruction of justice in a case involving corruption. Ian Shugart, the clerk, invoked cabinet confidence to block the Mounties from talking to people.
That was confirmed to the Globe not only by a spokesman for the justice department but also a spokesman for Trudeau himself.

Ian MacLeod, the spokesman for justice, told the Globe the decision not to give a broader waiver for cabinet confidence “was made solely by the Clerk of the Privy Council as guardian of cabinet confidences.” Trudeau’s spokesman, Cameron Ahmad, told the paper that the PMO had no role in the decision.
Except they did, they backed it up.
Here is a simple fact, the PM could waive this issue of cabinet confidence and allow people to speak freely to the police if he is so convinced that no crime has been committed.
He won’t though.
Trudeau supported blocking nine different witnesses from giving full testimony to the ethics commissioner and the refusal to turn over documents for that investigation. He’s now backed up the decision to block the RCMP

And Trudeau refuses to attend candidate debates. He knows he will be drilled on SNC and has nothing to gain. The sign of a leader with lots to hide and little to offer.
