Norman Case: UPDATE

There’s been significant developments in the Norman Case… I guess, although, I mean, I sort of called it…

But it certainly appears that the liberals were once again meddling with shit behind the scenes, and whether they instructed the prosecutors to drop the case or not (I mean, it’s like 99% they did…), everyone is going to think they did unless they release unredacted documents (which they won’t). I only say it’s 99% because of the timing of all of this. (Look, it’s a pretty bold assurance for some uninformed blogger to make, but the fact that MP Andrew Leslie had just announced his intent to testify on behalf of Norman, coupled with the current climate and what looks like mounting evidence that there was something fishy going on with the Davies contract (see what I did there?), I just think it’s safe to say, at some point, someone from Trudeau’s camp at the very least gave a suggestive nod to the crown prosecutor…)

So, what’s this all mean? Is Justin Trudeau the first Prime Minister to interfere with judicial processes and try to secure million-dollar contracts for his buddies… I think you know the answer (cough, Chretien, Mulroney, probably all of them… except Kim, poor gal, she just didn’t have enough time☹).

The problem is, our current PM and his office have simply no tact whatsoever. They are operating like fucking amateurs, and its downright embarrassing to be frank.

And please don’t be fooled into believing that the Conservatives have any moral high ground to stand on this. Yes, it looks like members of Harper’s former cabinet had a role in his release, which is good. I mean, I’m happy Norman is free. What was happening to him was pretty shitty, becoming the fall guy for what appears to be some sort of ploy to fuck with the $700 million-dollar ship contract (see my first article), but in the end, the Conservatives only give a shit about this poor bastard because it creates a running narrative for this continuing debacle of a year for Trudeau and the PMO.

Like everything in politics, this is strategy. But at least an innocent dude was released from the jaws of justice, which oh so often clamp shut forever (read the Trail by Kafka if you disagree with my last sentence…)

But let me reiterate: I pretty much called this the morning Norman was released so, if you’re not reading this blog yet you probably fucking should be…

You’re welcome.
