This is a company that has hoovered $4 billion in corporate welfare from the public trough. Will this Quebec company be getting yet another bail out? There is a fuel fight gearing up! Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says if he wins the election he will scrap what he has dubbed a "secret fuel tax" — a plan by the Liberal government to improve fuel standards through regulatory changes.  The shelves at some GTA LCBO stores are a little bare these days, leading to concerns about inventory shortage. Not to worry, say those in charge - the LCBO says deliveries are behind schedule because they have “recently implemented a new Warehouse Management System (WMS), an updated technology for handling product intake and outbound orders. How does a liquor store run out of booze when that's all they do? Last week Catherine McKenna tweeted out a photo praising Ottawa's clean drinking water - and showed her filling her water bottle. Well, that prompted an angry response from those living on Attawapiskat.  On news that Quebec is now adding its name to the fight against the Federal Liberals carbon tax, the liberals are now urging premiers gathering this week to abandon any legal challenges against Ottawa.  Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he would continue Canada's campaign for a seat on the United Nations Security Council if he becomes Prime Minister. Scheer said he would not “sell out” Canadian principles, including democracy, the rule of law and fundamental human rights, in an effort to secure votes from other countries for a seat on the UN's most powerful branch. WHY???? Elections Canada has announced that they will not reschedule the October 21st election which happens to fall on a Jewish holiday. The high holiday when observant Jews aren't allowed to work - let alone vote. And the three of four days of advance polling - also happen to fall on the holiday. Jewish groups have been requesting a date change for months - and Elections Canada hasn't budged. So it's now heading to court. Should there be a religious accommodation?

The Liberal government has approved the controversial Trans Mountain expansion project for a second time.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has committed to directing all the money that the government earns from the pipeline - estimated at about $500 million a year - to investments in unspecified clean energy projects. Indigenous groups have immediately vowed to appeal the decision. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has casted doubts about whether Trudeau actually wants the pipeline built as well as his sincerity about supporting the energy industry. There was unequivocal opposition with Green party Leader Elizabeth May calling the move an example of cynicism and hypocrisy at a level that is quite breathtaking.

This morning The Prime Minister says he's reconsidering Jody Wilson-Raybould's future in the Liberal party after her bombshell testimony yesterday. Justin Trudeau told a late night news conference that he totally disagrees with her take on events involving SNC-Lavalin. The former Justice Minister and Attorney General accused Trudeau and senior staff of hounding her for months to intervene in the criminal case of SNC Lavalin on corruption charges. It has prompted Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer to call for Trudeau's resignation and a police investigation. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for a public inquiry.

Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould says she cannot discuss allegations that she was pressured by the Prime Minister's Office to help SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal prosecution. In a statement this morning, Wilson-Raybould says she is bound by solicitor-client privilege and cannot publicly talk about aspects of the case. The Globe and Mail reported yesterday that Wilson-Raybould was demoted in a cabinet shuffle early last month, because she wouldn't intervene in the case of SNC-Lavalin. They're a engineering and construction company in Quebec, which has been charged with bribery and corruption in a bid to secure government business in Libya. They wanted a deal, allowed under the law, to pay reparations rather than be prosecuted. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh are calling for an ethics probe into the allegations.

Hours after he was publicly defended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada's ambassador to China apologized for politically explosive comments when he suggested there was a strong case for the detained Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou, to avoid extradition to the US. John McCallum issued a statement yesterday saying he misspoke earlier this week when he spoke to a group of Chinese-language journalists in Toronto about Meng, listing several arguments he thought could help her with her case. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fire McCallum, saying the remarks raised concerns about the politicization of the Meng case. But some say that while McCallum's remarks might have been controversial on the surface, his comments were not out of line with what some experts have been saying.
