Trudeau is getting press in Oz.

I'm actually wondering how anyone can be gagged?

I wondered that too.  In the US only a court can gag order a person.

The Conservative Party set up this website.

Justin Trudeau must waive solicitor-client privilege so she can speak the truth.

Somehow there's an issue about her being his lawyer?  That shouldn't have anything to do with this though.

On Wednesday, the Justice Committee will decide whether or not to invite Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify and answer these questions.

Hopefully they will, they certainly should.

A re-emerging fondness for Stephen Harper



There is a meme that has been doing the rounds on social media for several years now that shows various pictures of Stephen Harper with the caption "Miss me yet?"



It's only natural that Conservative members and diehard fans of the former prime minister would promote such an image even mere hours into the era of Justin Trudeau.



But now it appears that, having had a few years to think about it, a whole lot more Canadians might also agree with the sentiment. They seem to miss Stephen Harper, or at least place great value on his legacy.



A recent under-reported survey by Montreal-based pollster Leger asked Canadians who they considered the top Prime Minister of the last 50 years.



Stephen Harper came out on top, with a plurality of the votes at 24%. Trudeau came second. But not the current one.



Pierre Elliott Trudeau won the support of 22% of respondents.



Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney followed, with the current office holder scoring a poor fifth-place showing.



Only 9% of Canadians think



Justin Trudeau is the best PM of the past half century.



It's interesting to note that the only PMS he beats are the one-hit wonders who only served a single, short term: Paul Martin, Joe Clark, John Turner, and Kim Campbell.



Now — as Lavscam unfolds — is an interesting time to ask whether Trudeau will be later considered relegated to the dustbin of history like the PMS at the back of the pack or whether he will live to see another term and forge a true legacy.



(This poll was conducted a week after the initial Lavscam news was reported but before the testimony of Jody Wilson-raybould.)



Leger did not ask what was behind these responses. But it shouldn't be a surprise that the calm and consistent tone of Stephen Harper's leadership now looks very appealing compared to the messy ride of the past few years.



It may just be in part that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Regardless, this poll shows if Justin Trudeau wants to seek re-election by fear-mongering about a return to the Harper years, it may backlash.



Canadians look back on those years fondly.

This scandal and cove up is getting a lot of international attention.



OECD monitoring Canada's SNC-Lavalin probes



OTTAWA - The international economic group that oversees a global anti-bribery convention says it's monitoring the allegations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau interfered in a criminal prosecution against SNC-Lavalin.



The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says it is concerned by accusations that Trudeau and staff in his office tried to persuade former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to let the Quebec engineering giant negotiate a remediation agreement rather than pursue the firm on criminal charges of bribery and fraud.



SNC-Lavalin is accused of bribing Libyan officials to win a $58-million contract to restore a water pipeline.



The Anti-Bribery Convention, which Canada signed onto in 1999, establishes international standards to criminalize the bribery of foreign officials and the OECD says it is closely monitoring the outcome of the investigations into the SNC-Lavalin affair.
