Fed Issue #21 - Cash for access and coverup - Openness another dead promise!

Not so much the pay for access... that is just plain sleazy in appearance (Wynne does it all the time too) but the reality is how fund raising is handled by all parties to some degree. How he handled criticism shows Justin's admiration for dictators ... again.

#21 could be the backing away from the election reform (using essentially an illegal immigrant and liar) but that not happening is a good thing I think so...


Liberals avoid scrutiny for contentious cash-for-access fundraisers
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has handed the duty of enforcing new rules for lobbying and political fundraisers to a department that directly reports to him, meaning that exclusive Liberal Party fundraisers with senior cabinet ministers as the prize attraction escape the scrutiny of the ethics commissioner.:whacked:

The Office of Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson told The Globe on Thursday that Ms. Dawson cannot pass judgment on whether Mr. Trudeau’s “Open and Accountable Government” rules were breached because he gave that mandate to the Privy Council Office, the senior bureaucracy that serves the Prime Minister’s Office.:mad:

Throughout this controversy, the Liberals have avoided any mention of the Trudeau rules they once championed, instead dwelling on how their behaviour is in line with provisions of the elections law that cover donation limits.:scream:

Trudeau defends fundraiser as effort to attract Chinese investment


“Chinese billionaires paid $1,500 for exclusive access to the Prime Minister at a Toronto mansion. Rubbing elbows with millionaires at these cash-for-access events does not pass the smell test,” interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose said.

...
The only known investment that followed the May 19 fundraiser was a $1-million donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal’s law faculty from Chinese philanthropists Zhang Bin and Niu Gensheng.



Yes, Canada is back... admiring dictators, sending funds to groups linked to Hamas....looking forward to October 21, 2019, hopefully the Trudeau and the illegal immigrant haven't passed something like the 1933 Enabling Act by then.

Openness... is now strictly in it's coffin!

The Liberal government has brought in a gag order that prevents 235 Canadian military personnel and federal workers from ever talking about the program, now underway, to replace the country’s fighter jets.
http://ottawacitizen.com/news/nation...s-to-the-grave

The non-disclosure agreement for the equipment project puts the fighter jet replacement on the same level as top secret counter-terrorism missions undertaken by the Joint Task Force 2 commando unit as well as clandestine operations by the country’s spies, military sources say.

The permanent non-disclosure agreements were uncovered by Conservative defence critic James Bezan after he requested information through Commons “inquiry of ministry” process.

Ethics commissioner to question idiot in charge ... sorry Pooh Minister ..... Prime Minister Trudeau (boy that makes me want to gag)... Trudeau and ethics should only be in a sentence with "has no clue on" between them, I mean someone taking $20k+ from charities and school boards....

Now now... let's not have that talk ..... if he got bit he would talk about how we weren't helping the sharks that felt left out enough and send money.

Trudough is an imbecile. Wynne is a bigger problem. She's selling off Hydro to balance the books at election time. Like selling the car to pay for gas.

True .... but that imbecile has the same puppetmaster as McGuilty had (Gerald Butts) and with MP's like Monsef (lied on immigration, even Trudeau said people like here should loose citizenship) and Alghabra (thinks Hamas should be take off terrorist list and mourned Arafat's death) we see a Canada wide issue where THEIR morality and the average honest working citizen's morality have very little in common on the chart. How many real Canadians think that billions should be given to organizations without accountability, a dictator is admired, debt should be increased to the point you can never pay it back, and I can go on etc... reality and morality seem to have been abandoned for opportunism, power and self aggrandizement to the detriment of all Canadians.

Here we go again...

Elections commissioner urged to investigate cash-for-access allegations

Federal opposition parties have asked the commissioner of Canada Elections to investigate allegations that members of Canada’s Chinese community have been requested to pay as much as $5,000 to attend fundraising dinners with the Prime Minister – amounts that exceed federal contribution limits.

My gawd Mosquito....you really do post the best stuff! This is just plain nuts.

.... and the results of those cash for access with Chinese???? Selling out Canada again it seems.

Liberals reverse Harper cabinet order to unwind Chinese takeover deal

The Trudeau government has cancelled a cabinet order by the previous Harper government that would have forced a Chinese electronics company to abandon its takeover of a Montreal-based high-tech firm because of concerns the deal could harm national security.

Instead, in a decision that suggests a different approach to Chinese investment, the Liberal government has said federal officials will undertake a “fresh review” of this transaction.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made deepening trade relations with China and striking a free-trade deal with Beijing key foreign-policy objectives for his government.

His government declined to explain Ottawa’s reversal of the divestment order when asked about it Monday, citing national security and commercial confidentiality.

ITF Technologies, formerly Avensys, of Montreal is a leader in “fibre-laser” technology that is used in telecommunications, data communications and industrial applications. Its website mentions military applications for some of its products but does not elaborate

The Liberals are back, think anything will come of it?

Oh ..... never mind.

Pierre Trudeau "fixed" his son's drug charges....

I guess Justin can "fix" his own problems now... Ethics is now dead in Ottawa it seems.
PM no longer under investigation for cash-for-access fundraisers, but ethics commissioner won’t say why
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...s-commissioner

Ethics commissioner Mary Dawson is no longer investigating Justin Trudeau’s controversial cash-for-access fundraisers, although she refused to answer questions on why she seems to have questioned only the prime minister and not anyone else involved in the alleged ethical breaches.
...
A number of high-profile attendees later got lucrative government approvals. For example, Trudeau attended a fundraiser at the mansion of multimillionaire Miaofei Pan on Nov. 7 in Vanouver where Pan urged the prime minister to allow Chinese investment in seniors’ care. Later that month Anbang Insurance Group bought a majority stake in Vancouver-based seniors’ care company Retirement Concepts in a deal reported to have exceeded $1 billion.
...
“Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson is not pursuing an examination under the Conflict of Interest Act of any of the fundraising activities involving the Prime Minister that were brought to her attention by Members of the House of Commons. There is nothing more we can say about this matter,” said Brisebois.





Nothing more they can say, the sell off to China of companies that their technology has advanced military implications, donations ..... Justin sure must love dictatorships.... he seems to be running Ottawa that way, when you can't question or investigate the PM you know the elite and the entitled are running (ruining) Canada.
