Since the launch of our new online daily paper MooseJawToday.com, I have once again become almost addicted to the Canadian and World news on our site, updated as news happens. I find myself up early and throughout the day, checking the latest hot topics.

Of interest of course has to be the SNC Lavalin issue that is plaguing the liberal government. The whole scandal is about corruption, bribes and lies involving a company that has offices in Quebec.  This doesn’t surprise me coming out of that province; it seems it is the norm.  The real issue is interference in a bi-partisan position by the governing liberals.

As I listened and read the testimony of Jody Wilson-Raybould, I found her to be unstirred, credible and honest, someone who makes us proud to be Canadians, but after listening to the other testimonies and finally the statement from Trudeau, I find it hard to tell if Justin is lying even when his mouth is closed. 

With another female resignation and another that has informed the PM that they are not running again, the media sought to find someone who could say something positive, and I paraphrase, “He is a good listener and has a balanced cabinet.”

I am about to throw up if I hear that again.

In 2016, Justin introduced a balanced cabinet.  When asked why, he simply smiled and said, because its 2016, a statement that makes any business person gag. 

Here’s the thing; if you want your business or country run right, you want the BEST of the BEST, so whether male, female, white or minority, that should not be a consideration as long as they are the best candidate for the job.  If they were all women, then power to the women!  Unfortunately, the women that have left his cabinet are strong, credible and of good morals, the kinds of people that the government should have, not like the federal government we have with the current PM, Mr. Dress-up.

In my opinion, our so-called leader is the author of “puke politics.”

Back to SNC Lavalin.  There are very few people, actually none that I can find that don’t think something stinks here, but when Quebec is involved, its pretty obvious it stinks.  It seems we’ve become dull to all of the bureaucratic bs going on there.  

That spoiled sister province has been running the rest of the country into bankruptcy with all of their demands since 1957.

Trudeau is the prime minister of Canada, not the prime minister of Quebec, as our Saskatchewan premier so kindly put it.

Our pretty boy PM makes the claim that 9,000 jobs could be lost in Quebec.  That is just heresy and a ridiculous statement, not a fact at all.  The loss of over 44,000 jobs in Alberta is a fact and poor Alberta continues to give over 20 billion dollars a year to the feds which goes where, “on se demande”... You guessed it!

The West needs to stand up to this abuse imposed on BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan to protect our family and friends and future. It was written in a headline…Should Saskatchewan leave Canada? 

Personally, I think they have the right idea, but the wrong province.

Trudeau is a spending machine, not realizing, it is tax payer money.  The government can only spend the hard-working tax dollars they collect; they do not have any other source to generate funds. I laughed when I heard the statement, ‘Why are Americans so angry about Trump spending 5 billion dollars on a real wall when Trudeau spent 4.3 billion dollars on an imaginary pipeline?’

When did our public servants quit serving the needs of the people, humbled to be elected and serve?
