Andrew Scheer calls on Trudeau to step down over SNC
Long story short, a company had dealings with the Libyan government, and Trudeau is being accused of pressuring the Attorney General to be lenient on them. The former Attorney General testified to this fact.
At this moment there is an emergency debate going on, it's live, for now:

Well now the conservatives are going to win by a landslide considering how Ontario went.
This is the buttery males of Canada.
They should vote NDP, especially they were the Opposition Party at one point between 2011-15, regardless of their decease near perfect leader Jack Layton dies between that time. If may prevent any Conservative wins for next two-four federal elections.
What? Lmao
You mean the people on the Live stream?
Hillary's emails and how they're being still spoken about to this day: "but her emails"
This seems like an actual problem though...?
depsite this being a legit issue idc because I love all the people in the livestream chat who keep repeating Trudope cause its such a silly attempt at being offensive also vote green
Who would've guessed that this run of the Federal Liberals would end with the reveal of extensive corruption and a major scandal?
We'd be making a terrible mistake to vote in the cons, scandal or none. They would do so much more damage to this country than any corrupt liberal government. One can only hope that the voters have a short memory.
I don't understand how the right in Canada could win any power with the orange in Washington.
Doug Ford literally won on the campaign platform of buck-a-beer and nothing else, Apparently Canada has its own share of utter fucking morons.
The NDP elected practically the definition of "champagne socialist" to be their leader and he's been a complete fucking flop. To be honest this was the best thing for the Liberals because until this scandal both the Conservative and NDP leaders were fucking jokes.
Frankly I can see Trudeau kicking Wilson-Raybould out of the Liberal caucus and her going to the NDP, which will be just the boost in popularity and support the NDP need to ensure the Conservatives win a majority in October.
Still gotta appreciate how our constitutional crisis is "The PM might have pressured the AG into going easy on a company guilty of corruption" vs the US' "The President has betrayed the nation by conspiring with a foreign power to sway the elections".
An argument put forward is that the court case has not been finalized yet and so he was just looking out for jobs. But the reality is that he did technically interfere, or at least attempt to, in the judicial process. The kicker is that she was taken off the position of AG after, and it is argued that this further shows that it was undue political pressure on the judicial process.
Nevermind that Trump has his own corruption scandal and so have many of his staff.
It is, but it's not a uniquely Liberal problem. The Conservatives would have almost certainly helped out SNC-Lavalin as well given just how massive they are for Quebec's economy. The company needs to face repercussions since they have a huge history of this type of shit, but it's pretty shitty and disingenuous(typical of them) that the Cons are framing this as the Liberals simply being corrupt, rather than treating it as the complex issue it is.
The company employs 50,000 people, any action hurting them or potentially killing them would result in a gigantic loss of jobs, and thus, would hurt upwards of 50,000 people(plus all the collateral damage from a company so huge going under).
Well, they should think this through by voting T. Mulcair as their least choice in the first ballot, and then pick a second, third, fourth, and etc. ballots of any few other NDP candidates in that race, that isn't lead to less pragmatically/ideally Neoliberal-ish and Populist leader in Instant-Runoff voting-like system they used, rather than just wait until they hypocritically lazy flipped back to vote the still unchangeable Liberals just because their previous leader dies, and expect somehow they changed by voting the less worst Neoliberal and a -Quebecer- Canadian Macron/Obama knockoff than -normal non-Quebec born French Canadian- Mulcair has?
These people sounded, they can't think this foresighted at all, do they???
Harper knew three months before he publicly acknowledged the Mike Duffy expenses scandal and lied about it, and I didn't see tons of conservatives rallying to take him down, so y'all excuse me while I don't give a fuck about a conservative leader crying corruption and demanding a chance to be put back in charge so soon after the party was punted out of power.
Wake me up when Trudeau's recorded threatening to kill one of his perceived enemies while on a crack bender.
