Furthermore, Democracy Watch asked the auditor general to review all the decisions by this former commissioner.

In addition, “Democracy Watch has requested that new commissioner Nancy Bélanger delegate all investigations to someone who is independent of her and all political parties, given that she was handpicked by Prime Minister Trudeau through a secretive, dishonest process. Democracy Watch is currently challenging her appointment in Federal Court,” read its press release.

Then there’s the SNC scandal, caused by a cabal of high-level Liberals and civil servant accomplices who apparently intended to suborn the law by strong-arming the then-attorney general into undermining the Public Prosecutor’s decision to try SNC for bribery and corruption offences. An initial news story about this was blanketly described as “false” by Trudeau. But what followed were high-level resignations, character assassination and expulsion of two women from the Liberal cabinet, obstructions, censorship in committee hearings, and the abuse of cabinet privilege by Trudeau.

This August, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion concluded emphatically that Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by trying to influence former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to overrule a decision by the public prosecutor to proceed to a corruption trial against Quebec’s SNC-Lavalin.

“The authority of the prime minister and his office was used to circumvent, undermine and ultimately attempt to discredit the decision of the director of public prosecutions as well as the authority of Ms. Wilson-Raybould as the Crown’s chief law officer,” Dion said.

However, the Liberals attempt to smear the Conservatives during the election, though the reality is that the Tories are the party that created the law that has protected the country from corruption at the highest level.

And morality matters.
