The SNC-Lavalin affair has had from the beginning the aspect of a spat among high-school girls. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
If Prime Minister Trudeau had called his Attorney-General into his office and told her how he wanted the SNC-Lavalin affair settled, Wilson-Raybould could either have agreed or resigned then and there. But no. The direct approach was too masculine for the feminist Trudeau. Instead, he hounded Wilson-Raybould with subordinate intermediaries in the hopes that she would get the message without an uncomfortable face-to-face confrontation.
Wilson-Raybould now admits that she – probably illegally - secretly recorded a conversation she had with the clerk of the Privy Council, and –again, probably illegally – released this recording publically. The feminist term “inappropriate” is bandied about. She thought her job was being threatened!
Wilson-Raybould and her BFF Jane Philpott think they can burn down the Trudeau government and still remain Liberals in good standing.
It would be ironic if the feminist Trudeau government fell because of an adolescent girl spat.
