Link Almost zero chance of that happening now that she's crossed the party line and told the truth about what happened while she was acting AG. The PM all but said that she's a goner. Of course, she could always join the Greenies or NDP and give it a run there. I would never want to see her join our party though - not interested in native activists with leftist agendas.

Michael Hardner Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 In what weird Freaky Friday convergence of wormholes and Groundhog days does she end up being PM ? A minister stabs her PM in the back... and POOF now she's sitting pretty as PRIME MINISTER Your imagination is this board's most delightful resource and a black box worthy of scientific research.

Love to know just which editors and columnists were on call to do that. Presumably the entire staff at the Toronto Star, of course, but where else? As I believe I mentioned in the other thread: The CBC gave Butts the heads up to start covering the lies about two weeks before any story was printed - that was not long after they received a big whack of cash meant to preserve the "independant media". I imagine they would have paid back their bonus by helping to line up the op eds. Not sure if she will be able to remain a Liberal, but to clean up at least one tiny part of that rat's nest of corruption and croneyism she certainly deserves to become leader.

Link I don't think this was a game, nor do I think she had a game with this! How could she have planned for Trudeau to go along with that script? But, after all the positive reviews about her - and no doubt she's suddenly a celebrity - I think now, there is a chance that she'll consider running. I hope she doesn't run under the banner of the Liberals. Edited February 28, 2019 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the libs will not let her talk till QP is over,so trudeau can run. He won't be back in the house till middle of march.If she comes out saying nothing happened her reputation will be destroyed. PM ,I don't think so. Supreme court judge..... Remember when Trudeau wouldn't waive any solicitor-client confidentiality away? And then everyone in all political talk shows - even polls they did - applied the pressure on him that he ended up capitulating? I think.......he'll be forced to do it again, or this will really drag all the way to election day.

scribblet Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I see Macleans has also suggested that Jody Raybould is seeking the brass ring. As an indigenous woman with a record of standing up to corruption, she would be a strong candidate to replace Trudeau, who must surely resign shortly, but won't. If he kicks her out of caucus and or refuses to sign her nomination papers for the next election, where does that leave her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 This is very entertaining from across the border...so fun to see that smug bastard Justin Trudeau get his turn in the barrel. Can't say I'm surprised after all of his previous missteps, but this one has longer legs. I wonder what those poor chaps rotting in Chinese detention think about the "rule of law" now ? The funny part is that the CBC wanted to cover the Michael Cohen hearings "LIVE !" from another country, but the JWR hearings back home demanded full attention instead ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday’s sob story was the most brilliant leadership campaign launch I’ve ever seen. Wolf in sheep’s clothing and straight for the jugular. I imagine Scheer, if he looks like the favourite in the fall election, will be her next target. Earn his trust then expose his flaws. Just has to read the tea leaves to assess which is the most favoured party going into the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made her decision as Justice Minister. JT vehemently disagreed with her and moved her to another portfolio. He could have left her a backbencher. She’s still in Cabinet.
