Then, once sworn into office, he showed genuine promise and I thought I might have had him all wrong. <br /><br />You're right. He flouts laws that get in his way. He embraced political expediency in drafting an inadequate assisted dying law consigning hundreds, probably thousands, to a protracted death in agony. That was monstrous and, yes, Jody was on side with that.<br /><br />He simply ignores the precautionary principle because he knows how thoroughly it guts his case for the Trans Mountain pipeline.<br /><br />He rejigs the criminal law to take a thoroughly corrupt Quebec construction giant off the hook.<br /><br />A good many Canadians voted for a name only to discover, after the fact, that it was just more bait and switch.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-27874528473779315582019-03-29T20:45:05.599-07:002019-03-29T20:45:05.599-07:00When has the law ever interfered with Trudeau'...When has the law ever interfered with Trudeau's agenda?<br /><br />With current events unfolding at a rapid pace it is going to be interesting ( perhaps frustrating) just how much J Trudeau can flaunt the law.<br />Like his USA counterpart he is contemptuous of the laws of the land and ,perhaps more so, common decency.<br /><br />I am guessing that money is going to rule the day!<br /><br />TB <br />Trailblazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436709163754934547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-42772957334996356962019-03-29T15:20:34.285-07:002019-03-29T15:20:34.285-07:00"Whether Trudeau likes it or not, it's th..."Whether Trudeau likes it or not, it's the law and it sets the test he and this pipeline project must meet." <br />When has the law ever interfered with Trudeau's agenda?

According to Greenpeace UK, BP has successfully pressed the Trump government to overturn laws passed by the Obama administration preventing companies from releasing methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The result – the equivalent of another 50m tonnes of CO2 over the next five years – is to push us faster towards a hothouse Earth.<br />These people think they are above everyone else and from their attitude they think they will not be affected by Climate Change.I want to live long enough to see these people charged with the deaths of millions of people.
