Jody Wilson-Raybould is a descendant
of the Musgamagw Tsawataineuk and
Laich-Kwil-Tach peoples, which are
part of the Kwakwaka’wakw, also known
as the Kwak’wala-speaking peoples.
She is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation.
Wilson-Raybould carries the Kwak’wala name
Puglaas, which roughly translates to
"woman born to noble people".[7]
Yesterday, I posted the actual recorded telephone conversation that took place between then Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould with then Chief Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick. I have to admit that I went to bed last night very disturbed by my reaction to what I had listened to
I tried to determine which of the two, JWR or MW, was right in the issue they were fiercly, but calmly, debating. I came at it from at least three different POV's. My political instincts, which I maintain humbly are sharper than most; my background as an 18-year bureaucrat of the BC government where, for the last 8 years I worked as a child protection social worker in aboriginal services; my earlier background of 7 years as a legal assistant in a large Vancouver law firm working in all areas of the law---and my experience even earlier than that, where I spent 4 years as an administrative assistant at the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Law.
Even bringing all this life experience to the table, it was hours of tossing and turning before I was able to get a handle on who captured the ethical and professional high ground between JWR and MW. For that, I had to return to what I said in my very first post about Jody Wilson-Raybould's experience of "Speaking Truth to Power". I will quote from that March 1, 2019 post:
….employed as a social worker in "aboriginal services", I naturally came in contact with hundreds of first nations people over the years. I learned to distinguish certain traits and triggers in their mindsets. One of the main triggers for First Nations is white people lying to them and/or breaking promises...Hello? First Nations people don't have the same sense of expediency as white people. They certainly do not understand moral relevancy the way we do. When the rumours were spread that Jody Wilson-Raybould was "inflexible"...I immediately recognized what they meant. These distinctions are difficult to discuss without being accused of racism. IMO, the lack of expediency and moral relevancy in the First Nations psyche is what has saved Canada on several historical occasions, most importantly during the Meech Lake Constitutional Crisis, which I was personally involved in as a constitutional committee member from my riding here in British Columbia. I also went to Ottawa and testified before the Parliamentary Constitutional Committee.
So, First Nations people, because they don't have the tools of expediency or moral relevancy at their disposal...can often be viewed as "risk takers". They can push matters to the brink, After all...what do THEY have to lose? They can only GAIN if laws are obeyed and moral values are upheld. So, with these learnings taken into account, while I was watching Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony, I could not help but wonder what she thought about the many other files on her desk...some of which were far more serious than the serially corrupt company, SNC Lavalin..."
Because I am a white person brought up in a white culture, I do have the "tools" of expediency and "moral relevancy" at my disposal and have used them countless times in my daily dealings...I'm somewhat ashamed to confess. So, I could see where Michael Wernick was coming from...and I kind of agreed with him. Why not just go along for the sake of the Liberal Government Team? Why be such a G-D shit disturber??? After all, it was not a very big matter in the scheme of things...the case was not very well known to Canadians...99% of them would probably never have been aware of it had she not raised such a fuss.
Hey, had JWR 'gone along to get along', there would probably have been some perks and prerequisites coming her way as a reward. Justin Trudeau would have been in her debt. If I were in JWR's shoes...I would probably have backed off and had a "long talk with former Chief Justice Beverley McLaughlin"...as was constantly being suggested. Maybe McLaughlin had some magical formula for how to sell out the judicial system while not really appearing to do so. I would have been interested at hearing what it could be...in the very least.
But perhaps Jody knew more about why SNC Lavalin was rejected for the DPA by the Chief Prosecutor than has been let on. There was that significant matter of the "Section 13" report, written by the Chief Prosecutor for the government explaining her reasons for rejecting the DPA. Hilariously [but, sadly, typical for a bureaucracy], while this S.13 report had been issued back last September, when the Chief Prosecutor made her decision, it had not yet been read by Michael Wernick or any of the staff members of the Prime Minister's Office! Wernick claimed to JWR that the PMO had "not received it". JWR said of course they had, but...and this was implied...no doubt it was lying around the office somewhere gathering dust. It was most certainly not read by the Prime Minister either. No. Their minds were all made up and single mindedly focused on pushing through the DPA that they had created special legislation for, which itself had been pushed through government, hidden under a huge Omnibus bill.
This lack of information and curiosity by the PMO re the S.13 Report was summed up neatly by PMO staffer Katie 'turd blossom' Telford..."We don’t want to debate legalities anymore".
Perhaps one of the reasons for the denial of the DPA to SNC Lavalin had something to do with its other nefarious involvements...including the projected sale of bulk water to the US. SNC Lavalin apparently has its tentacles buried into some contracts for future infrastructure related to same. In reading the Global Research article at the previous link, I was fascinated to read the following:
From Global Research:
...SNC-Lavalin has had its eye on continental water-sharing for at least three decades. Back in the 1980s the SNC Group (as it was called at the time) was part of a consortium called Grandco, which was promoting a continental water-sharing plan entitled the Grand Canal Project. Grandco’s other consortium members included the UMA Group of Calgary, Underwood McLellan Ltd. of Saskatoon, Rousseau, Sauve & Warren Inc. of Montreal, and Bechtel Canada Ltd. (son of U.S. Bechtel, the world’s largest engineering firm).
Grandco’s head lobbyist was Canadian financier Simon Reisman (uncle of current Bilderberg member Heather Reisman). After Simon Reisman publicly advocated for Canadian water export, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (himself an advocate for large-scale water exports) appointed him as Chief Negotiator for the 1988 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the predecessor to NAFTA, signed by Jean Chretien in 1994. Both the FTA and NAFTA essentially strip Canada’s sovereign right to protect our water resources and make Canada vulnerable to massive water export....
The above snippet was fascinating from a personal perspective. You see, it was my father, who was a "mega-project engineer" who created and developed the Grand Canal Project. He was working on it all the time I was growing up in Sudbury, Ontario and I am intimately familiar with the concept and its history. Lol, I was my father's secretary in our little office in our home and worked on it from there. He worked on the project right up until his death in St. John's, Newfoundland in 2013 at the age of 100. My father's papers are maintained in the archives of the Memorial University of Newfoundland and are available to all Canadians for research purposes.
I was totally unaware that his project had been "taken up" by SNC Lavalin or that Brian Mulroney was a proponent of it. My father certainly would have told me if that was the case. He was very proud of an autographed book he had on the life of Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa, which had a mention of The Grand Canal as being supported by Bourassa. My own views on bulk water exports from Canada based on environmental and social impacts on indigenous peoples have always differed from my father's. Although I am extremely proud of his genius, as shown in this and other engineering projects, analyzing the pros and cons of The Grand Canal Project must be a subject of a future post, if that.
But the Global Research article is absolutely priceless, from the point of view of showing Canadians how broad and deep [Deep State] the international tentacles of SNC Lavalin go. Perhaps this corporation needed to be reined in on multifarious other grounds...such as this other tidbit gained from Telsur which is a Latin American News outlet banned in Canada. The actual quote is from Dissident Voice:
The Venezuelan government has accused America of being behind both the March 7 outage and this week's, stating the former was a combination of cyber, electromagnetic and physical attacks on the power grids (like the alleged secret US plan to do the same to Iran's grid), and the latter a direct physical attack on the Guri complex, causing a fire at three transformers.
Clearly, the goal of such attacks is to create so much suffering and frustration among the public that there is chaos, and a “needed” US intervention.
The chaos has not happened, the people have refused it."
The Guri computer system which broke down was bought from ABB Canada, a subsidiary of ABB Switzerland and Sweden, in 2005, to interface with an existing centralized control system that was installed by SNC Lavalin. (yes, the SNC Lavalin)
Adriansa concluded the Guri computer system may already have had a backdoor built into it that would allow it to be hacked. Software or viruses could have been added gradually over a period of months. This would have required internal or ABB Canada complicity. As with the Stuxnet virus, software can be designed so that something would happen on a particular date.
The purpose — to paralyze Venezuela at the perfect moment, to create the psychological conditions the US has been seeking, where they wouldn’t have to bomb Venezuela. The Venezuelan people would give up their socialist project, the scenario goes, President Maduro would be driven from power, and the Venezuelan constitution would be repealed. Happy (imperial) ending."
Summary
So, in summary while the mainstream media is focusing on all the political ins and outs of the SNC Lavalin affair...and believing that we are now in receipt of all the relevant information. And even the "Voice of Satan" BBC is chiming in with the delicious news implying that Trudeau is in just as much a career-ending pickle as May. Perhaps there is yet more to learn about why JWR supported the Chief Prosecutor in her refusal to grant the "Get out of Jail" Card DPA to SNC Lavalin. Perhaps it had to do more with Jody Wilson-Raybould not wanting Canada to be destroyed by the Deep State Corporatist globalist criminal warmongering scoff-laws.
At least the public should be able to access and read the S.13 written by the Chief Prosecutor for the benefit of the government bureaucrats and elected officials [which, sadly, few of them bothered to read]. Perhaps some of the information I've mentioned in the paragraphs relating to bulk water exports and involvement in computer backdoor Stuxnet crimes are somewhere in that S.13.
Oh, and one more thing. When I listened to JWR talking with Wernick and telling him that one of the reasons she was behind on some work related matter was that she was obliged to "...travel to Australia and attend that 'Five Eyes' business", I had to smile. Why was the Attorney General of Canada obliged to travel to Australia and attend a "Five Eyes" matter????? Was this one of those "COG" [Continuity of Government] boondoggles where elected officials travel the world at tax-payer expense to talk with MI6 and/or other intelligence officials and get brainwashed to support globalism by the Deep State?
Last time I read about that waste of time activity...was during the height of the "logsplitter scandal" that went down a month or more ago, relating to two BC government officials [the Clerk of the Legislature and the Sergeant of Arms] who went on not one but two tax-payer funded junkets to England where they stayed in expensive hotels and schmoozed with MI6, over evening cocktails and dinner. The sarcastic tone that JWR used when referencing her trip to Australia leads me to believe she was sent on one of those junkets. Hey...the one in BC was organized by the "Clerk" of the Legislature. Was the one that JWR was sent on organized by the "Clerk" of the Privy Council? Are all the Clerks of all the legislatures and Parliament in Canada subversive neoliberal moles? Well, one thing is for sure, Michael Wernick certainly is/was one.
