Trudeau housing budget - is it like subprime lending that led to the economic crisis?
"In finance, subprime lending (also referred to as near-prime, subpar, non-prime, and second-chance lending) means making loans to people who may have difficulty maintaining the repayment schedule, sometimes reflecting setbacks, such as unemployment, divorce, medical emergencies, etc.[1] Historically, subprime borrowers were defined as having FICO scores below 600, although "this has varied over time and circumstances."[2]
These loans are characterized by higher interest rates, poor quality collateral, and less favorable terms in order to compensate for higher credit risk.[3]
Many subprime loans were packaged into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and ultimately defaulted, contributing to the financial crisis of 2007–2008.["

What's he doing on Question Period? SOLILOQUY?
I think he's about to cry...........time to switch to another channel.

Joyce Napier, Ottawa bureau chief from CTV, now trying to neutralize the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
"We've heard all there is to know." Eh? Come again? I haven't!
For a journalist, you surely aren't that nosy, eh Joyce?
She's now loud, trying to change the channel by accusing Scheer of playing politics! Hello? Who isn't playing politics, huh? That doesn't negate the fact there is this BIG QUESTION ABOUT TRUDEAU and SNC-LAVALIN!
Watch some reporters, who at first, seemingly were aghast about this - now, carefully - trying to put this SNC scandal to rest. True colors eventually show.

LET THE WOMAN SPEAK!
Justin, Gerry and Wernick are ganging up on this woman! You're all making her out to be a liar - and yet, you effectively duck-taped her mouth!
Shame on this so-called "champion" of women - IMPOSTER!

1. If Liberal-majority Justice Committee insists to play partisanship, and refuses to recall JWR, should the Oppositions invite JWR to do her own rebuttal in a press conference?
I think, to be willing and open before the press - and let the press ask her questions, would be very powerful. Canadians want answers!
The contrast alone with transparency, that the Liberals refuses to deliver - says it all. Could this be possible? What do you think?
2. Should we hear from Jane Philpotts?

If Justice was Jody Wilson-Raybould's dream job, why move her at all - even if Scot Brisson had left the Treasury Board?
If you feel that continued discussion is appropriate around SNC-Lavalin - then, why did you give up so easily when Raybould - a valuable senior Minister - gave her resignation? Surely, Trudeau can say the same thing he asked her: can you review your decision again?
Where's the evidence about the 9,000 jobs that is being claimed to be at risk? Surely, you're not going to rely on SNC's claim about that, eh? Haven't you heard of the term, "bluffing?" Lol, if that's how you guys negotiate - no wonder you didn't get anything out of NAFTA!
If saving jobs is so important - what did you do for Alberta and Saskatchewan? Approx. 120,000 jobs were affected!
Why not lift the gag on Raybould, and let her speak?
-
Exactly
-
Is it even realistic to believe all 9000 jobs are "at risk"? The argument that this is about saving jobs is entirely premature.
Come on Liberals, stop with the bluffing and lying.

Butts had no data or proof on the jobs... now SNC has landed a lucrative contract in Ottawa...

Wernick gets to come back.....but, JWR can't!
Justice Committee is too partisan to be credible! Why are we wasting time and money over this farce?

Lol. He made it to the New York Times!
Oh, Trudeau.
Charm will not extricate Canada’s Justin Trudeau from a spreading political mess. Only honest answers will.
Looked at from south of the Canadian border, the entire matter may seem trivial alongside any of the many accusations levied at President Trump, or of the pressures routinely applied by politicians on behalf of powerful companies.
But in Canada, the tangled SNC-Lavalin affair is unavoidably measured against the expectations Mr. Trudeau raised and the standards he set. For him to be accused by two prominent women from his team of violating the high ethical bar he himself set is a major blow, at the least to his brand.

Trudeau using same line he used in the groping allegation. "Her experience"......"my experience." "Her truth"........"my truth."
Mind you, who sez liars aren't glib?

Believe it or not, there are still those who support Trudeau. But.....
......it's amazing that they are the ones who tend to scoff at and mouth off on big corporations - and yet, they have no problem on Liberal cronyism with big corporations! Go figure.
Maybe.....that's why they're quiet. They're trying to figure out how to go about this?

And there's an obvious reason for that. It makes it so hard to be self-righteous about corruption when your approach to it would be to defame the whistle-blowers, defame the Justice system for investigating it, and defame the media for reporting it. Republican-types just don't know how to react to these people with principles resigning.

Anywhoooo......Bubb just proved he's stumped. Just like all Trudeau could do is give talking points - all Bubb could do is bring up Trump! Deflect. Deflect. Deflect.

What could be on the horizon? Looking at the US -

What are the chances Liberals will be spouting off, and promising something similar?

I'm watching CBC. Former Liberal Atty General says that if Wilson-Raybould's testimony isn't completely contradicted - there are lots of grounds for RCMP investigation.

They should be investigating what appears to be a secret plan to bring Jihadi Jack into Canada.
A British Labour MP says the Trudeau government was just days away from letting Jihadi Jack come to Canada when a third party, likely the UK or US, intervened to block the deal:

Wrote one columnist, if Quebecers continue supporting Trudeau, in spite of this attack on judicial independence, 'we are imbeciles'

Anyone know why Scott Brison suddenly left?
I really want to know what else the Liberals are trying to hide.
That time frame that Raybould is forbidden to say anything - there's gotta be something more explosive than the ones we just heard. I bet Raybould and Butts had further confrontation, and maybe something more damning to Butts than his damning statement we now know of, (thus he resigned).

Probably something to do with the Norman case which could be a bigger blow to Trudeau

Butts has asked permission to testify...if he refutes Raybould with some proof, what happens then. this has allready cost trudeau aboriginal votes so Trudeau is in a fine pickle now.

Paul wells is calling it a sickening smug protection racket.
-
5 former attorney generals sent letter to RCMP asking to investigate.
Apparently, Raybould has documents of evidence too (even text messages). Raybould wouldn't be looking so confident going out like this....if she's got nothing to support her allegations.
Who knows.....maybe there's some recordings of these meetings and conversations that wasn't revealed during her testimony. I can't recall if she was asked of any recordings during that testimony.
If you're feeling coerced and threatened....wouldn't you protect yourself?
