Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[brihard]

I dunno is he ? This is what google tells me...

Have some substantiation or just a drive by smear ?

It’s him. He was a CMR student, charged under 130 NDA and kicked out right at the end for running a pyramid scheme. As he had completed all his degree requirements, he succesfully sued for conferral of his degree, though he was still punted from CAF.

As Carney does many things I like, he erodes a notable portion of his "big tent" Liberal support.

He probably knew the real world back when he campaigned or maybe not.

That’s a true statement, question is this, is it being offset by an equal, smaller or larger number of red Tories or centre Tories?
Time will tell.

Again honorably discharged. Lets make sure we use the right words, some words have connotations.

A young man who leveraged a position of responsibility within a military college to get junior personnel to enter into a pyramid scheme is not a paragon of virtue to be emulated. When he declines t odiscuss it, one may infer certain things about him and his character.

Just so you are tracking he is 56 now. Again from your own Frank article, which I am glad we accepting as a credible source now BTW:

“It was a very difficult time in my life,” he says. Even after he got his degree, it took him a few years to get his life back on track. He was $40K in the hole from the court fight, and he struggled with depression.

He calls the pyramid scheme an “embarrassing mistake… I thought everything was legal. Once I realized what was going on, it was too late.”

He says he wasn’t the mastermind, it was run by people outside the college. Over 100 students were involved, he says, but he was “scapegoated.”

“They made me a case because I was influential, what can I say? The commandant at the time picked me as an example. The other officer cadets graduated no problem.”

And this invalidates his position in the post from X for you ?

I am saying that someone convicted should show some bare minimum of remorse.

Do you know he hasn't ? Did you read the portion I quoted from the article you provided ?

And again this invalidates his position in the post from X for you ? Or do you just not like him ?

If I had to guess:

If I had to guess:

@brihard kindly shared an appeal court ruling that explained his conviction for participating in a pyramid scheme. https://www.canlii.org/fr/qc/qcca/doc/1995/1995canlii5191/1995canlii5191.html

Other online sources suggest there was a later out of court settlement that saw CMR award him his degree.

The issue was the assertion he was "court martialed and kicked out".

The issue was the assertion he was "court martialed and kicked out".

The documentation provided cites his court martial - para 15; and that he was released from the CAF - para 17.
