Liberal MP Raj Grewal publicly questioned senior officials in the RCMP and other law-enforcement agencies about the way they investigate money laundering earlier this year, at the same time as the Mounties were probing his multimillion-dollar gambling activities and sought to determine the origin of the funds, records and sources say.
Mr. Grewal announced his retirement last week from the House of Commons, citing unspecified personal and medical issues. The Prime Minister’s Office said the next day that Mr. Grewal was leaving to deal with a gambling problem and significant personal debts. As of Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Grewal was still officially an MP and his exact resignation date remained unknown.
"He regularly took part in the finance committee’s review of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. He was also involved in early discussions about the committee’s draft report" https://t.co/qFhpG8dWl8

Oh, don’t be picky. He’s a nice shade of brown and wears the liberal hat of invulnerability.
Millions of dollars gambled at an Ottawa casino, who’s money?
“who’s money?”
He’s a Liberal politician – take a wild guess.
Gambled or deposited?
You people must be some kind of racists and phobists of every kind of their choosing.
Don’t you know this guy is a protected species?
Its part of his culture.
In his culture it is considered to be rather smart.
His culture is his culture.
Any questions?
Like Obama, the Trudeau government have had no “scandals” (they admitted to) unlike the “scandals” of Trump and Harper.
“Mr. Grewal announced his retirement”. So that’s what they’re calling it – a retirement. Not even “stepping down”.
Liberal scumbag.
Of course, comments are closed at the Globe and Mail, that’s what a “good newspaper” does when it’s not worried it’s bottom line. Money coming,,, no need to generate extra clicks from having comments open,,, to show to your advertisers that you have people reading,,, state funding is on the way.
Ah, the Natural Governing Party of Canada strikes again.
Now, to be fair, compulsive gambling is a relatively harmless vice in a dopamine-addicted Librano. A refreshing change from the serial rape and sodomy the white Libranos prefer to engage in.
No reason not to shred his Canadian passport and send him back to his south Asian cesspit of origin, of course.
What if it’s part of a money laundering scam?
Nobody said not to figure out where the money came from.
He was born in Calgary… that cesspit of Dipper leftism…
Very surprised to see the G&M actually report something on this. With or without being a”trusted” media source eligible for liarberal largess.
No surprise that a liarberal is involved in graft and corruption, just surprised that he wasn’t more subtle like the current minister of finance or Le Dauphin.
Yet, the eastern welfare state will vote again for these worthless people. Just as long they continue to get that cheque!
I suspect the G&M wasn’t allowed to report on grewal until after the Liberal Party cut him loose. Who would know if this information about him was known by journalists for weeks or months. The Liberal party and PMO will decide what, which, when and how reports are published by their wholly owned subsidiary (Canadian media).
Just for the heck of it went to the CBC site and…wait for it…absolutely nothing on this. Quelle Surprise!
On another note, Canada’s favourite subsidized hack writer, Margaret Atwood, is planning a sequel to “A Handmaid’s Tale” Lesbian Studies department’s across the nation are rejoicing!
Here’s more on the upcoming magnum opus:
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/margaret-atwood-writing-handmaids-tale-sequel-for-publication-september-2019-701430922.html
Upon reading that Atwood “is one of the greatest writers and most relevant thinkers of our time”, I threw up a little in my mouth.
I’ve tried to read her in the past but I think I’d have to be imprisoned for quite a long time to try again.
I was thrown out of my senior English class for referring to her writing as self-indulgent and a bit dotty. Totally worth it.
Your teacher must have been a real lefty snowflake. Otherwise she would have asked you for the analysis that supported your conclusion and debated you. Your critique sounds entirely reasonable and worthy of classroom discussion.
An additional question “What did Justin know and when did he know it?”
Justin still doesn’t know.
Justin only knows what Butts tells him to know at any particular moment.
known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns.
the TURDoo deals in the 3rd category.
anything else is part of a script.
Equally,,,What does the CBCGlobalCTVCityStarG&M know about this, AND most importantly, WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT ?
If you get enough of a cut, saying you have a gambling problem is a small price to pay for laundering money. I doubt if there’s a terrorist organization involved because the Liberals don’t associate with terrorists.
The Librano in Edmonton Mill Woods is literally a terrorist!
That’s one of the dudes that went along w. The Ponce on his Bollywood Fun Tour. Brought a business associate along with him.
From wiki “Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto Dominion Bank and Bank of Nova Scotia, as well as the joint mortgage with HSBC Canada.” note – plus other debt
So the money was used to buy chips at a casino. Is it possible for the chips to be cashed out and end up in a foreign bank account? They might want to investigate people that cashed out significant sums during this time period. Unlikely since Justin’s Communist Chinese friends launder billions through Vancouver casinos.
They have video of people bringing in bricks of money at the Van casino. As soon as the casino accepts the money it’s laundered.
Not even “stepping down”.
– No, not even “convicted and sentenced for grand mal misappropriation of public funds”. But that’s okay – give him enough time and continued unfettered (pun intended) access to the trough, he’ll win it all back – as sure as there’s global warming! And it was only several millions, after all…
After the way the Kavanaugh affair played out, I will not presume the man is guilty of anything until such time as its proven in a court of law.
Due process and all that.
But I digress.
Isn’t this the fourth or fifth MP from the liberal party thats resigned over some kind of addiction?
I’m losing count of the number of liberal MP’s that have had to leave caucus under a cloud of some kind.
Lots of them didn’t leave caucus, the MEDIA just stopped reporting on them, and the public lost interest and forgot about the scandals.
My rule of thumb is that when a well-known liberal is publicly accused of murder, rape, sodomy, treason or fraud, it’s a fair cop.
The only question that usually remains is what he really did that the media saw fit to expose his crimes to a candid world.
My guess: gamble with sahib’s money—and lose.
‘After the way the Kavanaugh affair played out’
Um… this isn’t at all similar to the Kavanaugh debacle in any way: Grewal was fired from caucus, well, as “fired” as a Liberal can get anyway. He “resigned” last week and is now doing the Liberal make believe PR gestures as the pretext to play his “I’m a Liberal, I get out of jail free” card. He’s guilty af.
The questions I have are:
– How does a Liberal MP slide down to the local Casino and rack up millions of dollars spent without their co-workers noticing? Some sleuth over at the RCMP put two and two together using FINTRAC???
– Whose money was he spending? I know, I know, ‘take a wild guess.’
This government stinks to high heaven and I swear to god I’m precognitively feeling the massive kick in the nuts of when these criminals are re-elected for another four years.
Sounds like a whole lotta bovine excrement to me …………
Hey what is he bitching about ? IF .. it was his earned money he could easily show where it came from and wouldn’t need to step down. Sooooo … ok Mr. Grewal , stop whining and show where it came from and all is forgiven .
BTW .. ANY transaction over $2000CAD is routinely reported to the RCMP.
BTW .. ANY transaction over $2000CAD is routinely reported to the RCMP.
Color me skeptical. I’ve got a feeling you don’t live in the Vancouver area.
No, no they’re not.
“ANY transaction over $2000CAD is routinely reported to the RCMP.”
In the industry I was in it was any amount over $10,000 and the government has an agency to report to that is not the RCMP. And they seem to hire the stupidest people who know nothing about routine business.
Sooooo Let me get this straight. Mr. Grewal has “retired” in order to treat his gambling addiction. The RCMP are conducting an investigation into money laundering. “According to sources” Grewal seems to be somehow involved and may have gambled millions at Ottawa area casinos over the last three years. I think I’ve just about got the basic facts right. Sooooo when does the CBC, CTV, the Grope and Flail, and the RED STAR begin covering this news item. Does anyone think in their wildest dreams that the aforementioned ‘news’ sources will spend as much air time and newsprint on this scandal as they did on the Mike Duffy affair.
Antenor,
Any “journalist” paying too much attention here runs the risk of having his organisation not receive the official liberal seal of approval which will mean losing out on trough time under the gummints new “taxpayer funds for friendly media” program.
The CBC will cover this story the same way they cover all negative stories about the Liberals – with a pillow, until it stops breathing.
Man oh Man!
Wait till Andy 2 percent Scheer hears about this!
Oh, he’ll hear about it but the question will be if he’ll do anything. If he had a Ph. D., he could call himself Dr. Do Little.
Somebody should be asking the rcmp some tough questions. They have been watching raj for awhile. Even following him from the HoC to the casino in quebeckie.
The local detachment got nervous (hey were dealing with a librano MP here) and moved the file ‘upstairs’ to “National’. That’s the department that deals directly with the government. Think the head of the rcmp hasn’t been talking to the PMO? Of course they have.
Someone in the PMO called in Raj and explained the facts of life to him. Raj took the hi jump and the rcmp closed the file.
Oh, and about those millions raj deposited at the casino? Well raj is a very sick man. He’s suffered enough laundering the money and getting caught. It’s not easy being raj. Everybody back to sleep.
Anybody remember Alphonso Gagliano? A mafioso ‘made man’ who was a cab minister in da liddle thiefs government. Gags couldn’t pass rcmp security but hey where’s the problem? He’s working hard for his constituents. The rcmp looked the other way.
When the heat over Gags ( sponsorship scandal ) became too much even for da liddle thief Gags left politics and da liddle thief appointed him ambassador to the Vatican. The Vatican who know a rat when they see one immediately rejected Gags appointment and the Danes got him by default. The Danes were pissed but what can Denmark do? About anything?
So there you have it. One little example of how the libranos roll. A scandal over raj? Not a chance. The libranos have called off the rcmp. Any doubt they are a political police force?? fuckers
What the F#ck are the RCMP doing? Are the RCMP a police force, or just nosey watchers of Crime that never shut down anything until all the Government Folks are warned… They are petty Crime Tourists….
Kleptocracy is too hard, for graduates of the Canadian Education system,to spell.
So in line with the progressives repurposing words we find .
Old term; Kleptocracy.
New term; Liberals.
Standard Canadian Just-Us System.Laws are for the little people.
This affair has that distinct Liberal Party smell about it. So forget that anything will come of it.
Has Groper blamed Harper yet?
Please remember that Atwood’s new book has nothing to do with Islam. According to her its about Trump or something. I wonder if the Church Of Scientology will be providing actresses again for the sequel?
Raj & Kent Hehr are sitting in a bar, when………………..
