Andrew MacDougall: If backbench Liberals are operating on blind faith in the PM about the SNC-Lavalin scandal, they are running out of time to pull their heads from the sand
Andrew MacDougall is a London based columnist, commentator and consultant. He was formerly Director of Communications to Stephen Harper.
Heaping smear on top of political interference in the criminal justice system isn’t what any Liberal ran on in 2015, and it’s something no Liberal should want to run on later this year. So why are most Liberal MPs still fronting Trudeau’s nonsense? Every once in a while, anyway, there is a glimpse of steel. Wilson-Raybould and Philpott have clearly made their stand, and MPs like Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and Wayne Long have encouraged the Prime Minister to allow their colleagues to speak freely. Sadly, they are the exception that proves the rule of caucus solidarity. For every independent mind there is a ‘good soldier’ like Judy Sgro around to tell them to get back in line.
