UPDATE on the Loblaw / #Poilievre story: 🤯​

Apparently PP's chief advisor & campaign manager, Jenni Byrne, doesn't personally go out & lobby Loblaws herself. (She's busy)

Instead, she OWNS a lobbying company.
It's her firm.
It's called Jenni Byrne & Associates, with at least SIX employees lobbying for Loblaws.

  1. "Ms Byrne attends caucus meetings - so even though some are trying to downplay this story because she's not an elected official, this point is important.
  2. Conservatives delayed the vote on a bill that addresses predatory pricing & anti-competitive behaviour & her lobbyists have working relationships with Loblaw, a grocery company which is impacted by this bill"

NO SHOULD BE ON ANY , MUCH LESS BE CHAIR OF ANY. CONFLICTS OF PUBLIC INTERESTS. ESPECIALLY WHEN MUNICIPAL MAYORS ARE TOO BUDDY-BUDDY WITH POLICE.

STOP FUNDING MORE POLICE CRAP WITH PUBLIC MONIES.

REMOVE MAYORS FROM POLICE BOARDS - IMMEDIATELY.

msquebanh,

On in - almost all are local chairs & it's been a longtime huge public & no one has been brave enough to challenge that crap .

We are being led by a legion of suburban cowards.

#NathanWade had little experience prosecuting #criminal cases in #Atlanta, serving as a muni #judge who mostly dealt w/traffic tickets,…&…family #law & contract disputes.
Then, #FultonCounty DA #FaniWillis (D) tapped him to lead the biggest case of her career, a 2½ year investigation that led to charges against #Trump & 18 co-defendants alleging that they illegally conspired to try to overturn the #2020election in #Georgia.

Willis’s decision to hire Wade is now facing enormous scrutiny after one of Trump’s co-defendants alleged in a court filing last week that the 2 prosecutors are lovers who have vacationed together on Wade’s dime in Napa Valley & the Caribbean. The accusations, if true, could present a #ConflictOfInterest or could amount to #fraud.

@asiny It should be illegal for #RCMP to keep investigating itself on citizens' complaints over unlawful & criminal actions & abuses of process. We, taxpayers, pay for RCMP paycheques & on hook for their lack of genuine investigations - huge conflicts of interest.
