Army Guy Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 It's not getting into the weeds it is how the DPA works, nobody is arguing what powers the AG has, but rather the limitations of those powers. if it is proven that a case does not qualify for a DPA then one can not be issued, hence why their are restrictions or guide lines on how they are issued.....those guide lines are for everyone in parliament, including the AG , PMO office and everyone else...

scribblet Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 Just read that the Liberal caucus chair Francis Scarpaleggia said in a statement that the rules Michael Chong established for caucus decisions such as expulsion do not apply to the Liberals because they opted out of them. I found this https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/philpott-says-trudeaus-caucus-expulsions-violated-law A set of amendments to the Parliament of Canada Act, spearheaded by Conservative MP Michael Chong, was passed in 2015 in an effort to make it more difficult for MPs to be removed from caucus — part of an effort to decentralize political power on Parliament Hill and put it back in the hands of rank-and-file legislators. Those rules require that after a federal election, the MPs of each party hold a vote to determine the rules for caucus expulsions. But in November 2015, after the Liberals formed government, they deferred the matter, and as a result the rules — which would have required 90 Liberal MPs to express support for expelling Philpott and Wilson-Raybould — were not formally adopted. 1 Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Do you remmember this : when the JT's minions asked JWR to grant SNC a DPA, they would mobilize friendly medias and scholars to justify her action. At the end, DPA is not a wrong option, but it is just not as right as "no DPA" option. 1 Quote
WestCanMan Posted April 10, 2019 Report Posted April 10, 2019 On 4/8/2019 at 5:36 PM, jacee said: Yup. Think the Conservatives are any different? We need a real change. What does real change look like? Would a Bernie Sanders-type government be any better? All that happens when you massively increase taxes is you demotivate people, and you end up with most of the money in the country flowing through the sticky fingers of the government. It's the exact opposite of what the SJW crowd is trying to accomplish. The way an SJW sees it is like this: The government grabs massive amounts of money from successful individuals & corporations and uses it to give them and their friends a boost to get through college. YAY! It taxes the life out of industries that burn fossil fuels. Yay! Wealthy businessmen like Buffet no longer have big gobs of cash YAY! Here's the reality: Warren Buffet is just as rich as ever, his businesses are just in foreign countries now and he keeps as much of his wealth offshore as he can. The Laffer curve shows how, when you tax people too much, they no longer have the incentive to work as hard. They work part time and turn their attention to getting on the government gravy train. In the real world, when you tax the top end too much the Captains of Industry move their wealth and their companies to foreign countries and good-paying jobs go away. The free university degree that you got is no big deal because if you get a good job and make alot of money you don't get to keep much of it... you're paying for other kids to go to college and to be on welfare. Foreign-country-Buffet gets even wealthier and the gap between rich and poor increases. The money that the government takes in inevitably goes to their friends' companies and the people in power get bigger kickbacks. Companies within countries that don't care about fossil fuels have a huge edge over your own tax-burdened companies. Your own companies die off. Like in Canada, for example. If I have a farm and I have 4 plots of land that each grow $300K worth of food, and I live in a socialist country, do I even bother to harvest it all? For an example: in a capitalist country the first $700K is expenses, $100K goes towards my mortgage and the last $400K is profit which i will get taxed on. In Sandersland my expenses will be much higher because the minimum wage is higher. I also have to pay a lot more into medicare, etc. So $800K is expenses, $100K is mortgage, and I have $300K profit, but now I get almost nothing for the last $100K. About $10K. So if I leave $100K worth of food to rot on the vines I almost make the exact same amount of money, plus I'll save about 1/12th on wages for harvesting. Now there's less food to go around, but my bottom line looks better. Just imagine a whole country where everyone knows that there's not much point in getting out of bed at 5 am to make a difference. They can sleep until noon and have almost exactly the same lifestyle.

This, from the "man?" who has spent weeks lying about SNC. Oh, the irony burns. The scary thing about all this is how CTV has Trudeau's back through all of this. They're like his Ministry of Propaganda. They aired a segment the other day about the importance of governmental regulation of social media and they mentioned SNC Lavalin when they were talking about fake news on the internet (CTV complaining about fake news lol). I'm not at all happy that they're equating the SNC Lavalin issue with fake news but anyone dumb enough to believe everything they see on CTV is beyond hope anyways.

Yesterday, they said JT was only a poor puppet, and all of the problems were caused by his puppeteers. They made him did all the bad things .
