A judicious, rigorous, independent look at this would go a lot further in convincing people that the rubble from Robinson’s bombshell letter isn’t just being smoothed over.
Calling for a “full independent inquiry” is a tired move used by critics whenever a government gets in trouble. The phrase routinely rolls off the lips of Opposition critics when governments get into trouble.
An obviously rattled Premier David Eby is embarking on some kind of closed-door learning experience that involves personal, private reflection. It looks designed to cope with Robinson’s wounding allegations as best they can and get past them as soon as is decently possible.Eby shouldn’t get to write his own prescription on how to make things right, when he’s the one automatically responsible by virtue of his job for how they went wrong.
After accusations of systemic racism against Indigenous patients in the health system surfaced four years ago, an appropriate individual spent a few months digging into the complaints and recommended changes. Robinson met Eby this week for what sounded like a mutual update on where each of them stood, following her forced resignation. She lost her cabinet job earlier over dismissive remarks about the Palestinian region on which the state of Israel was built.She apologized but after mounting pressure her resignation was arranged.
“And for me moving forward … it’s a humbling moment to know that I didn’t create the space for her to be able to bring that forward and I’ll have to reflect on that.”
