Every day I check in to see if anyone is reacting to the call for Trudeau to resign.
10 Witnesses starting on September 17, starting with Trudeau, remembered as Trudeau interfering with the Attorney General. He tried to change her mind, but various partisan officials used coercion and eventually Mr Butts or Trudeau was determined to get the deal done and interfere with the courts? Very confusing Canadian Federal politics.
The indigenous representative was demoted and the government is pretending that no one sees it was a demotion?
What does this mean for the next federal election? Weird game of chicken? Did Trudeau do politics differently, or was he just selling "change?"
Bottom line is that SNC-Lavalin needed the hand up from the Canadian government, was the culture reveal in the best interest of the country?
The Canadian public is left with one inescapable conclusion regardless of whatever 'she said / he said' comes out: the issue of Lavalin getting a pass from an active prosecution and her being demoted because she was adamantly against allowing it.
Trudeau's well crafted image as a fresh start and an all inclusive, open leader has taken the biggest hit since his election. This one is going to leave, not just a mark, but an open gaping wound.
This is just getting worse by the hour! Government meddling in court cases seems to be more and more common. First the ambassador to China was dismissed when he voiced an opinion about the Huawei arrest, and now the Prime Minister is accused of rigging a legal decision. One does wonder what else Trudeau has done behind the scenes to rig decisions.

I think it would be more surprising if the party in power -be it Liberal, Conservative or NDP- did not pursue a favorable outcome for SNC.
What I find extremely crude and distasteful from Trudeau, within Wilson-Raybould's statement, is how he phrases the motivations. There is an election in Quebec, I'm a mp representing Quebec, and we need votes!

They (meaning the federal government) have always been just that crude. For sure, there is no moral high ground to be found there. It wouldn't surprise me if Trudeau had to step down as a result of it becoming public. Without it being public, I doubt many Liberals would take issue with it. The Conservatives are no better. Make promises, get into government and cling to power with tooth and nail, which always means catering to Quebec because that's where the votes are. This also keeps other provinces from developing to their full potential as in the case of the CF-18s.
After she was told to break the law, she was told by the liberal buttheads that the public will be blanketed with op-eds that say she did not break the law. That's enough to cause concern. Not only do they think the law is for the little people, but they think it's okay to lie to the little people.

But buttheads ...do you mean Gerald Butts
If she hadn’t been demoted, it’s possible this would have never seen the light.

I do, but he's out of a job now too! I agree that job change may be what triggered her to go public. Her father was certainly blanketing the media last week with claims that an indigenous person was demoted and that this was a problem for all indigenous people.
