'You $&% idiot': Wernick presents justice committee with profane messages he received after SNC-Lavalin testimony
OTTAWA — The country’s top public servant received profanity-laced social-media messages calling him “garbage,” a “traitor,” a “loser” and a “liar” after defending the Trudeau government’s conduct in the SNC-Lavalin affair.
As it turned out, committee members did not want to discuss the matter, preferring to concentrate on Wernick’s alleged role in pressuring former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt a criminal prosecution of Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. No one asked about the messages, sent to Wernick via Facebook messenger. Nor did the committee release them publicly since they were not in both official languages.
“You should be ashamed of yourself for the comments about assinations! Arrogant pos! Get a real job you deadbeat,” said another. Wernick went on to say he’s also worried about “the reputations of honourable people who have served their country being besmirched and dragged through the market square, I worry about the trolling from the vomitorium of social media entering the open media arena.”
