The left-wing media in Canada is doing everything possible to shape, defend and protect Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from a corruption scandal created by his pressure to stop a criminal case against SNC-Lavalin. {Background Here} and {Update Here}.
The depth of the corruption is evidenced by the level of manipulation deployed by the Canadian state-run media, and yet they are still unable to bury the issue for him.
In the latest development….
OTTAWA (Reuters) – A Canadian cabinet minister, who had quit in protest over the government’s handling of a corruption scandal, said she and others had more to say about the matter, indicating more pain to come for embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Trudeau has been on the defensive since Feb. 7 over allegations that top officials working for him leaned on former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould last year to ensure that construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc avoided a corruption trial.
“There’s much more to the story that should be told,” former Treasury Board President Jane Philpott told Macleans’ magazine in an interview released on Thursday. (link)
The interview with liberal Jane Philpott outlines how the far-left within her party are furious that she dare expose criminal conduct by Justin Trudeau. The once lauded and praised Ms. Philpott is now the subject of targeted attacks against her simply because she refused to participate in the cover-up.
The interview is very telling [READ HERE] There’s a full transcript of the interview.
Here’s a broadcast interview with reporter Paul Wells of Maclean’s magazine (the journalist who conducted the recent interview of Ms. Philpott). CBC attempts to water-down the political damage and yet retain the appearance of journalism:
.
Trudeau will not allow Jane Philpott or Jody Wilson-Raybould to give any details on the issues, citing Parliamentary Privilege. As former cabinet members neither lady are permitted to discuss the internal deliberations that would outline the scandal unless they are allowed to do so by Trudeau. Obviously the prime minister’s political interests are best served by keeping them silent. Justin is not going to allow them to talk.
Along with Trudeau’s heavy-handed tactics to silence the former cabinet officials, the liberal party, in majority control of government, have done everything possible to provide cover for Trudeau; including the House of Commons justice committee shutting down its inquiry on Tuesday, saying no more action was needed.
The problem for Trudeau is the pesky truth doesn’t hide easily. The conservative party in Canada is rightly pointing out that if there is nothing to fear, then Trudeau should allow his former officials to testify as to what specifically happened.
The Canadian media are so far out of the mainstream defending their liberal lightbringer, the end political result might be the exact opposite of their desired intent. Quite simply, the Canadian electorate seem to be seeing right through the media and parliamentary manipulation.
With an election in October; and with Justin refusing to allow sunlight to the entirety of what took place; there’s a growing possibility the lack of fulsome inquiry might just backfire politically.
In an effort to keep hiding from the truth, unbelievably Justin Trudeau is now refusing to speak English. The French speaking Canadian’s are more left-leaning; he needs to keep that base of support in order to avoid even worsening political fallout. So Trudeau is now only speaking French to avoid being spotlighted, in social media video captures, as he attempts to cloud, obfuscate and manipulate his way out of the scandal.
I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The level of manipulative intent is jaw-dropping.
It really is quite stunning to watch. SEE:

He panicked, and answered in French for some reason.
His first language is English, so is hers, so is the former attorney general.
The question was in English.
But he panicked and reached for some line he had memorized.

Everything about last year’s headline story just two-weeks before the mid-term election was weird; including the refusal of the FBI to state what ‘specifically’ was the material suspect Cesar Sayoc was accused of using to create his Acme looking pipe bombs.
You might remember: FBI Director Christopher Wray outlined during his remarks that the devices consisted of PVC pipe, clocks, batteries, wiring and “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”.
The FBI director went out of his way to state: “these were not hoax devices.” The DOJ then moved to seal all court filings and the case against the nut continued behind the curtain of ‘national security’. Suspect Cesar Sayoc was scheduled to go on trial this summer on charges relating to the pipe bombs. However, today he entered a guilty plea before a federal judge in New York.
(Via Washington Post) Cesar Sayoc, the Florida man accused of mailing explosive devices to more than a dozen politicians and media figures who have been critical of President Trump, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court.
Sayoc, 57, was arrested and charged in October after a series of possible explosive devices were sent to former president Barack Obama, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the news network CNN, among others. Officials said he sent a total of 16 devices to 13 people across the country.
On Thursday, he appeared in a Manhattan court room and read from a brief written statement in a quiet, raspy voice. Sayoc acknowledging that he created the devices and sent them in the mail.
“I knew these actions were wrong. I’m extremely sorry,” Sayoc said. He briefly lost his composure at one point while speaking, prompting his attorneys to rub his back.
Responding to a question from U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff, Sayoc said: “I was aware of the risk that they would explode.”
Sayoc’s guilty plea had been anticipated since his court docket showed last week that a pretrial conference scheduled for Thursday had been changed to a “plea” hearing. He had previously pleaded not guilty. (read more)
QUESTION: Hi Mr Armstrong,
Thank you for continuous education. I hope to get your view on cashless societies.
There are worries that nations will move to cashless transactions in the near future. Do you think this will actually happen? My guess is it will be a failure and there will be “black” markets where transactions in physical notes will flourish. I see this similar to situations where hyperinflation occurs and the respective governments trying to control their exchange rates by declaring them. However, as this happens, black markets having more accurate rates sprout up.
As usual, they can’t dictate anything that has to do with the real world. What do you think?
MC
ANSWER: That is one of the reasons the Deep State is fighting so hard to remove Trump. They simply believe it will take a seasoned Bureaucrat to sign such a bill. That said, a cashless society will be arriving in Europe before it will appear anywhere else. You must understand that all governments are in their death throes. Instead of stepping back and looking at this from a practical perspective, they remain fixated on their debt crisis that is propelling them to raising taxes. They firmly believe if everyone paid their taxes, they would have no problem. Of course, that is a fantasy. Whatever they collect will NEVER be enough to sustain their power.
In Europe, there is already the tradition of canceling their currency. This is done to prevent people from hoarding cash and not paying taxes. This was a step in the direction of a cashless society for it was intended to add risk to accumulating cash and not paying taxes. Hyperinflation only takes place when confidence in government collapses. When governments are on the hunt for taxes, you actually get the opposite — DEFLATION. This is when people curb their investments and hoard their wealth. The elimination of physical money presents a new twist to the historical record. Hyperinflation in the classic sense becomes impossible for there is no printing of money to pay bills in that sense. Assets will rise in value reflecting the fear of government. That is the emotional equivalent to hyperinflation. Nobody will buy government bonds and capital will hoard and hide in assets whenever possible. There will no doubt arise a black market based upon a barter system. That is why I tend to recommend old silver coins that the average person can identify by a simple date.
They continually try to force socialism upon society so a few can live off of other people’s money. The problem is that capital can flee, as we have just witnessed with Amazon bailing out of New York City and AOC calling it a victory for the little people because they will not have to give them a $3 billion tax incentive to come to NYC.
The entire crisis for New York City is indicative of the way big cities are all on the verge of economic collapse. In the case of New York City, their long-term debt is now more than $81,100 per household and the interest will keep exploding because, like all governments, they borrow with no intention of paying the debt off. Mayor de Blasio has increased spending by as much as $3 billion in the new budget over last year which was $89.2 billion.
With the Economic Confidence Model (ECM) turning down into 2020 very hard, NYC will run a deficit as tax revenues decline thanks to a recession. The more they raise taxes on businesses and the rich, the more they have begun to leave NYC. De Blasio has detailed $750 million in spending reductions but Gov. Cuomo’s preliminary budget has also reduced $600 million in aid to NYC.
With the ECM turning down, de Blasio’s socialistic policies have led to an increase in spending of 32% since he took office. Socialists just simply think they can constantly live off of other people’s money. The city’s long-term pension obligations have exploded and he has increased the city’s workforce by more than 33,000 people, with even more unfunded pensions in the last five years.
We are adding New York City to the list of expected economic disasters
you commented very intensively on the ECB destroying bond markets and the failure of monetary policy in Europe. By yesterday the US Fed also declared the end of the shrinking of the balance sheet. Possibly they will start QE4. So I would warmly welcome your comment on the US Fed – throwing in the towel, finally – and the situation getting worse also in the US!
Many thanks.
regards,
AS
ANSWER: The Fed also sees the handwriting on the wall. We are headed into a hard-landing in the global economy. They have come under a lot of pressure externally to stop raising rates. This notion that they will not stop shrinking its balance sheet is really pointless when the dollar is the only game in town.
The FED is not in the same position as either the ECB or the bank of Japan. There is a viable bond market that is actually used as the reserve assets among central banks. When we talk of the dollar being the reserve currency that does not mean simply holding cash. They hold US government treasuries – not cash.
Nevertheless, the Fed knows that QE does not work. China as rejected adopting that tool. Nevertheless, the Fed feels compelled to do something even if it fails. They will be vulnerable if they actually do nothing. This is the first step. At risk here is the final straw that breaks the back. Once it becomes more obvious that central banks cannot manage the economy, then we arrive at the game changer.
Clearly, the Fed stopping the reduction of its balance sheet is a reflection that we are headed into an economic recession globally following the ECM.
Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign crowed this week about hiring women for 10 of 15 newly-announced staff positions. You recall that presidential candidate Mitt Romney got roasted in the Left-wing media when he said his staff had received “binders full of women” as candidates to staff the executive office when he was governor in Massachusetts. Why would Democrats even need to brag about this in 2019? Shouldn’t they have been doing this since they aligned with feminists in the 1970s?
