Politics Insider for May 17: China's 'unacceptable' espionage charges, Alabama abortion fallout and Scheer's economic plan

Start it up: It was Trudeau who got the ball rolling on the RCMP investigation that ultimately led to breach of trust charges against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, the Globe and Mail’s Bob Fife reports. In 2015 the newly minted Prime Minister was angry that a cabinet decision to postpone a $668-million naval supply ship contract with the Davie shipyard in Quebec City had been leaked to the CBC, and wanted to know who was behind the leak.

In the past year, two of Canada’s largest provinces—Ontario and Alberta—elected majority Conservative governments led by premiers who are actively supported by the increasingly vocal, well-organized, politically strategic anti-choice lobby. In the course of my investigation of these groups last year, I spoke to several anti-choice activists then working to elect Jason Kenney as the “pro-life premier” of Alberta.

Do you remember the Reform Party? Well, they had a hidden agenda. The Canadian Alliance? Hidden agenda. Stephen Harper? Hidden agenda. Minority Conservative government? Hidden agenda. Majority Conservative government? Hidden agenda. Garbage in, garbage out: When all is said and done, it could cost Canadian taxpayers $2.6 billion and take another four years to stabilize the gong show that is the Phoenix pay system for federal public servants, and that needs to happen before a new system is put in place to replace Phoenix, says Canada’s budget watchdog Yves Giroux.
