Jeepers, that Barbara Yaffe sure has her finger on the political pulse! #TelfordOpEd

Are the clowns that are lined up by the PMO to defend this really this shameless?
On Twitter, CBC’s Katie Simmons is reporting that Parliamentary secretary Steve McKinnon is saying that SNC-Lavalin is *entitled* to a deferred prosecution agreement. “Our belief is that, this company (SNC-Lavalin) is one that is, like its competitors around the world, entitled to a deferred prosecution arrangement, like they would be able to have access to in UK, in France, throughout Europe…”
*Entitled*.
Well, I guess it *was* enacted specifically for them…
Seriously, do these people have any common sense at all? Or sense of decency? Obviously not.
Prime Minister Scheer it is come October, I guess. :-/
Vancouverois,
Let’s just say that yesterday wasn’t exactly getting off to a roaring start…
Great illustration of the arrogance of the Liberal Party and some of its MPs. It is now alright to speak publicly about criminal prosecutions and on-going court cases? I don’t think so.
Typical though of this government.
Perhaps a lawyer could clarify this point?
J.H.,
I seem to recall someone running his mouth about Khadr? Do you remember who?
Of course SNC-Lavalin is entitled to its entitlements! 🙂
I saw this article, before Philpott resigned, and even then I thought it was tone-deaf.
I mean, fine, make your argument. But to use the words “look away” in the headline – and not for sarcasm? Eeesh…
Steve,
To be fair, Yaffe doesn’t get to write the headline. Some genius wrote that.
Maybe the headline writer was expressing is disagreement with the c0lumn.
The opening theme of NetFlix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events is “Look Away” where the evil Count Olaf implores the viewer not to watch.
The prosecutor made a decision!! And the law was changed at a later date…this case has been ongoing for a long time SNC is trying to get away with bribery of a PMO’s office. How much money were people paid and was there money deposited into the Trudeau Foundation?
