"Dear Penny", ....questions and comments re the SNC Lavalin Constitutional Crisis

greencrow at Greencrow As The Crow Flies - 7 hours ago
*Penny for Your Thoughts* *blogger extraordinaire* Hi GC: I'm confused? If you think that it was just business for SNC Lavalin to participate in developing the aquifer, to have business dealings with Libya- then it seems to go without saying that the DPV's the Trudeau gov wanted to give to SNC Lavalin because of their dealings with Libya would/should have been acceptable? The charges appear to have been politically motivated. The 'bribes' Lavalin gave to the Gadhafi's are really just business as usual in the construction business- Seriously!

Photo Shopped photos of people’s heads on others’ bodies are commonplace on the Internet, so much so that we know that they cannot be fully trusted. But, aside from those videos of President Trump’s head imposed amateurishly on a wrestler’s body, showing the opponent with a CNN logo being beaten up, we generally trust videos that we see and audio recordings that we hear.

*WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019So did several others:* Should Joe Biden run for president? As a general matter, it seems to us that Biden's a bit old for that particular challenge.
