No one is above the criminal law.

 

Any reasonable person looking at the news knows that Justin Trudeau broke the law regarding the unethical, expensive gift from the Aga Khan, and he also broke the law and all ethics in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Recall that Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould refused, on legal and ethical grounds, to go along with Trudeau’s scam.  She refused to offer a ‘deferred prosecution agreement’ to SNC-Lavalin after being wrongly pressured to do so by Trudeau.  She was then demoted to Minister of Veterans Affairs in 2019, before resigning from Cabinet and being removed from the Liberal caucus amid the ongoing SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Since no one is above the criminal law, it has been an open question bubbling in public discussion for a long time.  Why was Trudeau not charged, and have the Courts test the allegations?  The Liberal establishment thought they had buried these transgressions with the passage of time and the election of a new government.  However, there is no statute of limitations on these kinds of serious offences. 

Consequently, in view of the lengthy and tireless efforts of the organization ‘Democracy Watch' to pursue a private prosecution, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the RCMP apparently covered up scandals involving Justin Trudeau, which would typically lead to criminal charges.  Now the 'Liberal mafia' is after Poilievre with every smear conceivable.  How dare he bring up matters which they had hoped the public had forgotten and no longer cared about?

In a recent interview with the YouTube channel ‘Northern Perspective’, Poilievre said the RCMP's leadership appeared despicable and added that many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have resulted in jail time.  Poilievre said the former prime minister likely violated the Criminal Code during the SNC-Lavalin affair.  “These would normally have led to criminal charges, but of course the RCMP covered it all up,” he said.

Democracy Watch said, “Crown prosecutors stopping this prosecution for a legally incorrect reason, just like the RCMP did in addition to suppressing key evidence, amount to a smelly cover-up that shows clearly that Canada does not have independent, effective anti-corruption law enforcement and, as a result, corruption in the highest public offices across the country is effectively legal,” said Duff Conacher, PhD (Law) and Co-founder of Democracy Watch.  “This means Canada does not have a rule of law, a rule that violations of the law will be prosecuted no matter who the violator is, which is considered worldwide to be a fundamental requirement for a country to actually be a democracy.”

They went further to say,  “The RCMP lacks independence from the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers who handpick the RCMP Commissioner and deputy commissioners and division heads through a secretive process, and they all serve at the ‘pleasure of the Cabinet’, so they are vulnerable to political interference, which is likely part of the reason the RCMP rolled over and let Trudeau off, and the pressuring of the former Attorney General to stop a prosecution shows that prosecutors are also vulnerable to political interference,” said Conacher. 

"To ensure integrity and impartiality in anti-corruption and foreign interference cases, key changes that many experts have called for are needed to make the RCMP more independent, effective, and publicly accountable, or even better, Parliament should establish a new fully independent anti-corruption police force, including fully independent prosecutors like Quebec has had since 2011."

So, we observe the talking heads and the legacy media going berserk, not against the Liberals, but against Poilievre for speaking up.  Instead of demanding accountability, transparency, and the rule of law, they have started an anti-Poilievre campaign.  This defensive condescending reaction from the elites, makes the point again about how badly Canada is in desperate need of an election as soon as possible, to hopefully send these Liberal miscreants packing.
