Trudeau hoist on his own petard

In the SNC-Lavalin affair, we see nemesis following hubris.  Justin Trudeau formed his cabinet with sex and race the uppermost consideration.  His cabinet was oh-so progressive, multiracial and exactly fifty percent female.

His ministers were chosen on the basis of identity politics. Their race and sex forms the most important part of them.  Jody Wilson-Raybould was the aboriginal woman - whose loyalties were divided between Canada and aboriginal First Nations.  She approached her job of Minister of Justice from a feminist and aboriginal perspective.

When the SNC-Lavalin affair came along, her feminist-aboriginal sensitivities were irritated.  The concerns of a Quebec based corporation got first class treatment from the PMO, while those of aboriginals got slow, back seat treatment.  This was her opportunity to stick it to Quebec on behalf of aboriginals.

The feminist Justin Trudeau resorted to womanly methods to correct the course Wilson-Raybould was on.  He sent messengers who “inappropriately” “pressured” her in the direction of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement.  Either she didn’t get it, or didn’t want to get it.  In her matriarchal First Nation, a woman’s decision was the law.  Trudeau disdained the manly approach of a face-to-face meeting in which he gave her direct instructions, which she could either accept or resign.

Impervious to PMO messengers, she got shuffled into another portfolio.

Now she’s employing the word “inappropriate” like climate changers fling about “denier.”

The feminist Trudeau, being associated with “inappropriate” conduct hoists him on his feminist-progressive petard.
