The stunning incompetence showed by the Prime Minister and members of the Prime Minister's
00:00:09.320
office in their handling of the SNC-Lowland debacle has been nothing short of stunning.
00:00:19.040
Since it started, his ham-fisted handling of the Attorney General, Jody Wilson-Raybould,
00:00:27.120
he has come up with reason after reason after reason from she was hard to handle, she wasn't
00:00:34.160
a team player, first I did nothing wrong, you know, then we'll see what the committee says.
00:00:41.500
And yesterday, it seems the Prime Minister's office, or at least somebody in the Prime Minister's
00:00:46.780
office, leaked out details that in 2017, Wilson-Raybould tried to appoint the sitting Chief Justice
00:00:56.820
of the Manitoba Supreme Court to the Supreme Court of Canada.
00:01:00.860
And then Sheila Copps came out on Twitter yesterday, former Cabinet Minister, saying that he was
00:01:06.100
blocked because he's homophobic, he's an anti-abortion judge, and all that sort of nonsense.
00:01:13.340
And there's clearly nothing in his judgments that I've been able to look up that would indicate
00:01:19.660
In fact, he seems to be a staunch supporter of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:01:27.020
And in the interim, all along the way here, the Prime Minister has managed to shut down
00:01:31.900
two different committees looking into this, the Justice Committee and the Ethics Committee.
00:01:38.640
In the last election, Stephen Harper used as a campaign slogan, he's just not ready.
00:01:44.720
And clearly, this Prime Minister, in trying to bully two very accomplished women, certainly
00:01:54.240
way more accomplished than he is, former part-time drama teacher and snowboard instructor, who
00:02:02.080
could have thought that he might not be ready for the job as the CEO of Canada?
00:02:07.180
I mean, it's ridiculous, really, the fact that 39% of the people, the electorate in this
00:02:13.720
country elected him in 2015, thinking that he actually could do the job, and clearly he's
00:02:26.080
The only thing he's managed to get done in four years or three and a half years was legalization
00:02:34.120
There's no supply chain for legitimate outlets.
00:02:37.920
The black market is still thriving, and somehow he thinks that's a success.
00:02:42.640
The economy in the States, our largest training partner is on fire, hitting record numbers of
00:02:50.260
successive quarters of GDP growth, and our economy is stumbling along.
00:02:56.480
So, you know, and it looks like with the carbon tax that's about to kick in April 1st, he may
00:03:03.780
The bottom line is, if you arbitrarily increase the cost of doing business to business, then
00:03:09.600
they either raise the prices or they reduce the size of their workforce.
00:03:14.600
They have to maintain their margins or else they don't stay in business.
00:03:18.300
You know, and for him to just think that ideologically he can do this and it's going to be okay,
00:03:24.180
All you have to do is look at Alberta and what's happened to the energy sector in Alberta.
00:03:29.340
You know, there's been a loss, I saw a figure yesterday, of $589 billion of lost investment
00:03:40.120
That's a lot of money, and that's a lot of jobs.
00:03:43.300
You know, the economy of this country doesn't run itself, and the budget certainly won't balance
00:04:03.280
previous neighborhood which we don't have to look.
