Canada: Our Northern Neighbor: Mr. Trudeau Has a problem

       Elections are 7 months away in Canada but that does not mean discussion of outcomes is not a hot topic.  Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, will stand for reelection.  At this moment, that effort is the subject of great debate.  The issue is centered on the Minister of Justice in Canada, Ms. Wilson-Weybould.  She had begun an investigation into the actions of a large oil services company, SNC- Lavalin of Montreal.  The company was involved with a contract with former dictator of Libya, Moammar Khadafy, now deceased.  Apparently, money was paid to the regime to award business to the company, an illegal act.
      An investigation was launched by the Ministry of Justice.  Mr. Trudeau and company, thought this investigation might spook the SNC-Lavalin office in Montreal and cause a closure of the office and with it, the thousands of jobs would go bye-bye.  Meetings were held; the investigation was discussed with the Minister of Justice-10 meetings or more.  She did not flinch under the gaze of the Young Prime Minister.   Investigation continued to go forward; and the Justice Minister was demoted and reassigned.  And now, the fallout.
     The reputation of Mr. Trudeau is now being questioned by the opposition Conservative Party.  It is asking him to Resign.  How harsh is that?  The young man has stumbled into-----POLITICS.   Hmmmm.  How does this happen?  Hmmmmmm.  Maybe we could have predicted this.   Maybe Canada is different.  Maybe Liberals are different.  And maybe not.
      This three act play has a ways to go before the final curtain.  With an election 7 months away, there's lots of time for more drama up North.  Watch it.
