March 6: Liberals shoot themselves in the foot. Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
My request to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott: On behalf of all the Canadians who voted for Liberal policies in our last election, please go into a room with the cabinet, other Liberal MPs and a mediator, and work things out.
And are they not also undermining gender progress by showing more loyalty to each other than they do to a government that is delivering, against the heavy odds of a Trump administration, a hostile China, and court obstruction of national energy goals?Story continues below advertisementI don’t get it. There is nothing wrong with any government trying to find solutions to save companies in difficulties.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after taking into consideration all angles and options, has the final call. While I admire former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould’s principled stand on the issue, she should have done the correct thing from the outset: resign when she felt the pressure was incorrect or unjustified.
I am amused by Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and deputy leader Lisa Raitt getting their respective knickers in a knot over the issue. For all of the hand-wringing and finger-pointing, there is no scandal. End of story.................................................We have no idea how the director of public prosecutions arrived at the original decision to prosecute SNC-Lavalin rather than to follow the deferred prosecution route.
