Trudeau government trying to cover its tracks
05/09/2019
Justin Trudeau - who, angelic visage notwithstanding, is a vengeful and petty little man - went after Norman, viciously. The vice-admiral was criminally charged with breach of trust. Norman vehemently denied he was the source of the leak, and hired one of the best lawyers in Canada, Marie Heinen.
The "crime"
Norman was accused of wasn't a crime at all. In the early days of the Trudeau
government, some senior cabinet ministers and political staffers tried to
interfere in a multi million-dollar contract that had been awarded for a
much-needed supply ship for the Royal Canadian Navy. As in the LavScam scandal,
senior Grits wanted the contract to go to a firm that had supported them
politically.
