    Trudeau comes tumbling down.

    I don't know if any of our recent political scandal in Canada has reached US news (I suspect not) but our former Attorney General has hung Trudeau out to dry for him and a number of his sidekicks attempting to sway her on criminal charges that a company out of Quebec (SNC-Lavalin) was facing, and still is, thanks to her sense of justice and upholding the law. Jody Wilson-Raybould gave her statement this week .... What an incredibly strong and courageous woman. And she's Indigenous/Aboriginal/First Peoples.

    And why is the fact that she's Indigenous important? One thing that you won't see in the news is what happened at Battle for Canada in November - the gathering I went to that focused on repenting and doing what needed to be done in the Spirit. One day, about 30 men of European descent were on their knees repenting to the Aboriginal women repenting of how the native women were treated by the whites. The stories we heard were heart wrenching and gut turning. Girls traded for meat because they were starving and then the meat was rotten, never to be seen again ... oh my heart.

    Anyways.... now, an Indigenous woman was used by God to expose Trudeau and his people for who they really are. It's been remarkable and Trudeau is trying to tell people she's lying, but watch the second video in the link, you'll have to scroll down for it. The first vid is a Q&A after her initial statements. There's no way this woman is lying or even stretching the truth.

    She's amazing and definitely will go down in history as a hero.




    Rex Murphy: The Trudeau virtuecrats come tumbling down
    March 1, 2019

    Justin Trudeau has the look of the high school hero who’s just fallen off his snowboard in front of all the twirling cheerleaders.

    It’s been a hard week for Mr. Trudeau. It must have been even harder for the Gender Analytics Team down in the boiler room of the Department of Public Works (it’s next to the Deliverology stables, just past the Memorial to Proportional Representation). They’ve had to parse Jody Wilson-Raybould’s fierce testimony and sequence it with the government’s equity-feminism.

    No one has sung hymns to strong, independent women more fervently than Mr. Trudeau. It doesn’t wear well that the strongest and most independent woman in his entire cabinet no long feels she can, with honour, sit in that same cabinet room with him.

    There’ll be no more round tables with Tina Brown and Gloria Steinem. Ivanka Trump will cross the street when she sees him coming.

    It doesn’t wear well that a strong, independent woman, determined to secure the mast of the rule of law, is put under siege for months by a train of flacks and aides, principal secretaries and chiefs of staff — supplemented by the Black Knight of the Clerk of the Privy Council — to work a deal, to finesse, to go around that rule of law because “… there’s an election in Quebec … (and) I’m the member for Papineau.” It doesn’t wear well that a strong, independent woman was subject to threats, veiled and not-so-veiled, effectively harried and harassed because she refused to politically oblige the big boys in the PMO. The Feminist-in-Chief took a massive hit.

    Mr. Trudeau scooted past the “Kokanee Grope,” but that involved a mere reporter. And besides, as he so grandly assured the world at the time, that incident provided us with a “collective awakening” that different “people experience things differently,” an insight into human psychology locked in darkness until that very moment. This was Jordan Peterson-level mentoring.
    Jody Wilson-Raybould, Canada’s former attorney general, arrives to testify before the House of Commons justice committee on Parliament Hill on Feb. 27, 2019. David Kawai/Bloomberg

    But the Jody Wilson-Raybould clash, as we used to say at home, is an entirely different kettle of fish. Here was no allegedly wandering hand, but a “consistent and sustained … inappropriate effort” to warp a decision of the attorney general of Canada in a matter of criminal charges against a Quebec company.

    When her principles came up against his expediency, what was a male-feminist Galahad to do? Why he acted like the oldest, white-haired, cigar-chomping boy in the oldest boys’ club that was. He demoted her. And during the interval, when she was bound to silence, he went about variously telling her story for her — even to the point of (I hate the term, but it’s a nugget in Mr. Trudeau’s set) “mansplaining” that her staying in cabinet “spoke for itself.”

    Hours later, she left. That, too, spoke for itself. Ever so much clearly. Ironically, her departure might be the prelude to and necessary condition for the prime minister’s own.

    Now in an ordinary government, none of this would matter. In a business-as-usual, this-is-how-we’ve-always-done-politics, principles-be-dammed, we’ve-got-work-to-do government, who’d care? But this is a Trudeau government, where feminist values and the purest sensitivity to women are as sparkling diamonds in the firmament of righteousness and sanctimony.

    This is a government that lives and thrives on its profession of vast moral pretensions. It is the government forever preaching of values, of moral aspiration, of doing things differently, of real gender equity, of promoting feminism, of openness and transparency, of nourishing the Earth and all her fuzzy creatures; this is a government of every tender, soft, progressive value known to peoplekind. Mr. Trudeau is its brand and the brand is everything.

    This is a government of virtuecrats, or it is nothing. That’s the problem. Live by the image, die by the image. Play by the symbol, fall by the symbol.

    Four hours of testimony on Wednesday afternoon went like a torpedo through a castle of glass. The details are known and in a hundred columns by now. Jody Wilson-Raybould, in her person and conduct, is all the Trudeau government was supposed to be about.

    She is a superbly accomplished woman. If role models mean anything, she has to be a luminous star for every young girl and boy in every First Nation in the country. For she has soared to the highest pinnacle of political power of any, ever, of her community. She sat, till last week, in the chair Lester Pearson offered to Pierre Trudeau to bring that sultan into the national story. To coin a phrase, a fearful symmetry indeed.

    Truth and Reconciliation is going to be a hard sell if a government leadership that came to power preaching feminism and the utter moral urgency of Aboriginal concerns works now to bring the greatest exemplar of both categories down. There will be two messages if it does. That feminism counts only when it doesn’t get in the way of politics. And that respect for Aboriginals works as a brand but not as a practice.

    If the attempt is made, it will not be an easy glide down for Mr. Trudeau. For Jody Wilson-Raybould has shown her qualities.

    There is more steel in that woman than ever came out of Hamilton. Her mind is keen, her will is her own, her moral centre assured and determined. These qualities are the very anti-matter of spin-doctors and crisis-management shops, kryptonite for the bleating flacks and the sweating elves of the PMO talking-points foundry.

    Mr. Trudeau has spoken of Wilson-Raybould’s presentation to the justice committee. “I have taken knowledge of her testimony…” — an odd locution, sounding like something from the Book of Exodus as translated by the Kielburger brothers. “… but there are still reflections to have on next steps” — which is, we must hope, his way of saying he disagrees.

    But really, it’s just mush anyway you look at it. Much like Chrystia Freeland’s comment “I believe … she spoke her truth,” (accent on “her” you can be sure), which is a precious piece of equivocation even for a diplomat. Does no one in this government know what a real sentence sounds like?

    Mush won’t melt steel. Wilson-Raybould has facts, details, specifics and principles. A deadpan face and urgently low-voiced platitudes will not prevail against them.

    The fate of the Trudeau government now hangs on a contest between character and image. I expect they’ve already put out the call for all the king’s horses and all the king’s men ….

    This link has the full video of her opening statement. Worth watching just to see how a person with a heart of honor, truth and justice speaks.

    This: Trudeau was "concerned" about the 9000 jobs that Quebec would lose.... It's a hard pill to swallow that he's willing to break the law to save 9000 Quebec jobs when he's spent the last 3.5 years shutting down the Alberta oil fields with job losses well over 100,000 and extremely high suicide rates related to those job losses.

    And this:
    Katie T thinks it gives us cover in the business community and the legal community, and that it would allow the PM to say we are doing something. She was like “if Jody is nervous, we would of course line up all kinds of people to write OpEds saying that what she is doing is proper.”
    They were pressuring Jody Wilson-Raybould to break the law, and then they were going to HIRE people to write OP-EDs to make it look like they hadn't. Talk about spin! We honestly can't trust anything coming out of Trudeau's office.

    And then there's this:

    Trudeau says he was “protecting Canadian jobs” when asked about $30K prostitute bill for Gaddafi by SNC-Lavalin

    by Cosmin Dzsurdzsa
    3 days ago

    During question period earlier today, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel asked Justin Trudeau to comment on a $30,000 payment to acquire “Canadian prostitutes” for Muammar Gaddafi’s son by SNC-Lavalin.

    During question period earlier today, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel asked Justin Trudeau to comment on a $30,000 payment to acquire “Canadian prostitutes” for Muammar Gaddafi’s son by SNC-Lavalin.

    “This is what SNC-Lavalin’s intervention looked like, $30,000 worth of Canadian prostitutes given to Muammar Gaddafi’s son. This is the so-called victimless crime that our ‘woke’ feminist prime minister is moving mountains to cover up,” said Rempel. “When did the prime minister learn that SNC paid for prostitutes for Muammar Gaddafi’s son?”

    The price tag was revealed earlier today by La Presse. As early as 2015, there were reports that the company, SNC-Lavalin was involved in procuring prostitutes for Saadi Gaddafi, the Libyan dictators son.

    His response? It was all for Canadian workers.

    “Every step of the way we will stand up for Canadian workers, we will stand up for good jobs right across this country,” said Justin Trudeau.

    What a liberal fraud and a phony. "Consistent with our values..." Only a liberal would attempt to defend that with a 'values' remark and thinks everybody will but it. lol.

    I hadn't heard about this. Glad to hear it's going so well for him.

    That's a good article. One thing I WOULD argue is this statement:

    Though the country seems stunned by the sudden darkening of its prime minister’s image, the story is not finished.
    I can guarantee you there are many, MANY of us that are not stunned... We're relieved and thrilled that the true JT is finally being revealed. Even many of the people who voted Liberal in the last election were beginning to question the logic of having JT in power.

    As for Trudeau representing Canadians, I believe it was somewhere around 27% of the people who got out and voted that created his majority government. So there's a good 70% of the people who are not in favor of the boy wonder.

    So do you think this basically guarantees his being defeated in the next election? Or just increases the chances but not a sure thing?

    I just don’t know. The Conservative Party of Canada’s leader is known to be a Christian so I’m not sure how that will affect the vote. He’s not exactly a Trump but he’s who we have.

    And it will depend on how Central Canada votes (Ont & Quebec especially as well as a couple of the smaller eastern provinces). Most of our elections are decided before the polls are closed in the west. Unfortunately their seats in parliament outnumber ours. And there’s no electoral college (is that the right term?). There’s no balance in the way the ridings are divided up.

    We’re certainly praying for a change.

    Another thing that might affect the election is if JT actually resigns as leader of the Liberal Party. They’d have to go through the process of finding a new one and who knows how that would go?

    Then there’s us who are fasting and praying that God will heal our land so we can fulfill our destiny as a healing to the nations.

    Come Lord Jesus!!!
