Whether the politicians notice or not, ordinary people know the smell of something dodgy
“Call it out,” Liberal minister Catherine McKenna tweeted in endorsement of a righteous speech by the U.S. Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in which Ocasio-Cortez condemned a Republican colleague for his sexism. “We need more women in politics,” McKenna added.
Imagine if more Liberals had trimmed Justin Trudeau’s sails – even behind closed doors – during SNC? Do you think doing so would have made it more, or less likely for Trudeau to step in the ethical dung again over WE? I suppose we’ll never know. Fragiskatos’s shut-down shenanigans continue the long, slow descent of politics to a place where no decent person would ever want to go. No, this isn’t a new phenomenon, as evidenced by the Stephen Harper years, but Trudeau promised better. And if being in politics culminates in the endless swallowing of dirt without complaint on behalf of your ethically challenged leader, we can stop wondering why nobody with half a brain cell wants to get stuck into public life.
If nothing untoward happened with WE, there would be no reason to filibuster the committee, as happened last week when the Liberal members blathered on about absolutely nothing at all. If WE was entirely above board, we wouldn’t need to curtail the number of hours the principals would appear to explain how this project originated entirely with the civil service . The latest developments prove we need more committee time, not less.
