Any Shocking News?

Nothing is sticking for them trying to explain this mess. I wouldn't be surprised if the next explanation is The Chewbacca Defense from SouthPark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwdba9C2G14

I'm wait to see what excuse Liberals will come up with for Alberta oil workers and Ontario autoworkers. This is not going away anytime soon.

While I am happy that she is being a major pain in the butt for JT right now, any chance that I would ever respect this woman was lost after her twitter comments on the verdict in the Gerald Stanley trial last year. As Min of Justice and A G, she had no business commenting on it like she did. I guess in her mind, attempting to interfere in a criminal case is ok if it supports your agenda.

Yes how quickly people forget . I can remember all the names she was called and her integrity called into question when she commented on the Stanley case. But now she is above reproach. LOL.

While her tweet was off side in that circumstance (and I hardly think an inappropriate tweet after the case has been determined is interfering), it is possible for people to conclude she acted appropriately in this circumstance as they are two different circumstances. While I won't ever be a joiner to the Liberal party, they have gotten a few things correct. I don't mind praising them the times I think they get it right because I will criticize them when I think they get it wrong.

She was off-side on her comments. However, this is an entirely different situation than an inappropriate tweet.

With respect to his/their insistence that if she was feeling undue pressure she was obliged to go to JT.

They keep forgetting the AG is supposed to be independent.........

Independent. And the DPP was created by the Harper Govt. to ensure that cases like this aren't influenced politically.

It should also be noted that the Harper Govt. enacted the Public Prosecutions Act while holding a MINORITY government.....meaning that even the opposition parties agreed to it.
