This is a woman who will walk over anything or anyone to advance her personal interests.<br /><br />Perhaps she's trying to fulfil her father's remark to Trudeau when he said he had two daughters, both of whom would become lawyers, and one of whom would some day be prime minister.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-48393842771337880342016-08-14T06:19:21.795-07:002016-08-14T06:19:21.795-07:00Prostitution is known as the world's oldest pr...Prostitution is known as the world's oldest profession, Mound.

Back in the Dominion days it was obvious that England had ultimate control. These days it often looks like control comes from Washington. Obama comes to Ottawa and suddenly we are sending troops to Eastern Europe. Is it that straight forward? <br /><br />There was (is ?) a plan to shunt BC water south to satisfy American needs in places like California. Is Site C part of that? It doesn't look like it to me but looks can be deceiving. The determination by all in control that the dam be built regardless of science, economics, the will of the people or even common sense makes me wonder about ulterior motives. <br /><br />I don't want to believe in conspiracy theories but . . .

It makes you wonder if, during that 2012 interview, Jody was saying whatever she thought necessary at the time. Now this is a new time, a different boss, and so she'll say or do whatever the current situation demands if that's necessary for her career. I don't know but it's sad to see someone stoop this low.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-33077298662584338312016-08-13T16:45:29.034-07:002016-08-13T16:45:29.034-07:00Toby, I have wondered that same thing myself.

He plainly lacks the intellectual powers for which is father was respected by friend and foe alike. I assume there is some small group behind the emerald curtain calling the shots, perhaps backroom leftovers from the Ignatieff era.<br /><br />Trudeau likes to dress himself up in his father's mantle yet he's a technocrat and not much more. He got off to a great start but it quickly became apparent it was all window dressing, the easy stuff, the low hanging fruit. When it came to the hard calls, the stuff that demanded principle and vision, he was always a no show.<br /><br />"Who is giving the orders?" As far as I can tell I suppose it could be Stephen Harper.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-65591506509122734342016-08-13T16:39:29.533-07:002016-08-13T16:39:29.533-07:00What Toby asked.
