Opposition is desperate to lay a faux scandal at PMJT's feet yet the CONs could have stopped this long ago.
"It isn't clear whether the Mounties or the Crown knew before laying the breach-of-trust charge that Norman had clear marching orders from the Harper government."

There's no evidence Liberals interfered in Mark Norman Prosecution

1) CPC desparate to pin this on PMJT, but blame is on the Harper Gov.
If political interferernce had occured, that direction must be published in the Canada Gazette. Didn't happen!
Remind you of something? JWR was not directed to interfere with the DPP either.

2) The Crown's case against VA Mark Norman began collapsing in March b/c of released info from former Conservative cabinet ministers/staffers.
The prosecution said Norman's actions were "inappropriate and secretive" but not criminal!

According to Conservatives in 2015, PMJT was "not ready"! Today they say he is "not as advertised"?
Let's take a walk down memory lane. Harper’s past actions are useful in showing how modern Conservatism descended into Tribalism, Identity Politics, Dog Whistles, & Fear Mongering

1) As an ex-Albertan of 58 yrs and as a Canadian first, I am sick to death of the entitled privileged whining of journalists, Albertans, pundits & the rest of #cdnmedia from the richest province in Canada.

2) Playing politics through the courts as Harper did with his unconstitutional laws cost Canadians millions of dollars.
Harper, like Kenney, are so blinded by their ideology & privilege, they forget that Canadians have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

3) Industry won't go to court @DonBraid! They're smarter than those who traffic in tin-foil absurdities.
Krause's conspiracy (her 3rd) about blockading AB oil is a dead-man-walking. Harper lost that one: court ruled Charter Rights for Charities apply.

This is not Krause's 1st conspiracy rodeo - just ask First Nations in BC what they think of her nonsense.

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Pointed questions in this thread that conspiracy theorist Vivian Krause cannot answer because she doesn't believe in freedom of expression:
"Why shouldn’t environmental groups be able to advocate?"

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Approx $60 Mill of the $90M that allegedly funded the anti-tarsands campaign, went to the Great Bear Rainforest, not in opposing AB oilsands. Harper pitched in $30 Mill together with Tides.
The same U.S. groups that help fund Enviro groups here also gave to the Harper Government

Fantastic thread: the article on #SNC & Jody Wilson Raybould was apparently translated from a French a La Presse article written by L. Gagnon.
Would appreciate anyone who speaks french to forward me the French article.

"After all these testimonies, including those particularly informative, Gerald Butts and the Deputy Minister of Justice, Nathalie Drouin, we understand a little better what happened in the pseudo-scandal that disrupts the politico-media class from English Canada.

Certainly, nothing in this affair required Prime Minister Trudeau to do his act of contrition, as claimed by the most enthusiastic commentators of the English-language media.

20 communications/107 days (emails, calls, meetings)
107/20 = 1 every 5.35 days
Most communications were internal between staff. She only took a few meetings.
JWR admitted to "high anxiety" over this? Seriously?
Does she understand real anxiety & what real people go through?

First let’s talk about basic Indigenous rights, then we’ll get to reconciliation

3) The article also doesn't capture the important details: the navigational, ecosystem,and demographic differences between the St Lawrence, the Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte islands (Haida Gwaii).
It blindly ignores details and invites Albertans to send hate to QC & BC. Why?

1) Conservative collusion with the oil industry, stacking the NEB with industry insiders, & gutting Canada’s environmental protections led to the failure of Northern Gateway (NG), TMX, the creation of #IdleNoMore, entrenched pipeline opposition, and #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli
2) to Bill C69 and:
Fisheries Act no longer protects most fish
Navigable Waters Act doesn't protect most lakes/rivers
Environmental Assessment Act replaced with a skinny law probably written on a napkin
Round Table on Environment & Economy dismantled
But Harper wasn’t done!

3) He demonized the environmental movement & aboriginal groups, and laid the groundwork for conspiracy theories: anti-oil-activists were a threat to national security, were “eco-terrorists” or “violent aboriginal extremists”, & that foreign money was blocking oilsands expansion.
