Two Trudeau cabinet member and at least one bankbencer expelled from the party because he didn't appreciate being told he was wrong, Not only wrong but his actions were unethical, wielding undue influence and having Katie Telford find a writer (National caliber) to write a favorable Op-Ed supporting the Liberal Party and by dint of logic, the corruption of SNC Lavalin and their bribes in Libya (at least).

Justin Trudeau is defending his feminist credentials as the two women he ejected from the Liberal caucus say they have no regrets about standing up to the prime minister on principle.
Trudeau announced late Tuesday he had ejected Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from caucus, saying that trust had been broken with the former top cabinet ministers.
Facing accusations today of hypocrisy regarding his equality agenda, Trudeau pointed to the important work of key female ministers, including Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, Labour Minister Patty Hajdu and Minister of Democratic Institutions Karina Gould.
"We have an extraordinary range of extremely strong women in our caucus and cabinet who continue to work on good things for Canadians," he said.
The expulsions came just before 338 young women took seats in the House of Commons today for the Daughters of the Vote, an event that draws female delegates from every federal riding in Canada to represent their communities and visions for Canada. Some of those delegates, expressing support for Wilson-Raybould and Philpott, turned their backs on Trudeau in silent protest as he addressed the chamber.

Trudeau defends women in Liberal caucus​

4 years ago
Duration1:43
PM Justin Trudeau say that he hopes that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wasn't disparaging the women who remain in the Liberal caucus during Question period.
The prime minister announced that Wilson-Raybould and Philpott were out of caucus during a national Liberal caucus meeting Tuesday night, which was open to the media and televised. He said trust with the two MPs had been broken and called it "unconscionable" that Wilson-Raybould would tape a conversation with Michael Wernick, the clerk of the Privy Council.
Speaking out today for the first time since her expulsion, Wilson-Raybould said "trust is a two-way street."
"I think it is unconscionable to tread over the independence of the prosecutor. It is unconscionable not to uphold the rule of law," she said in a scrum with reporters alongside Philpott.
"I have always maintained that stance. I think it is very alarming that people are focusing on the actual recording of a tape as opposed to the contents of the tape."
A 17-minute audio clip of a Dec. 19 conversation between Wilson-Raybould and Wernick was released Friday as part of a submission to the Commons justice committee. In that call, Wernick told Wilson-Raybould that Trudeau wanted a remediation agreement for SNC-Lavalin "one way or another," and said the PM was "firm" on the issue.

Wilson-Raybould says something dangerous and wrong was happening​

Jody Wilson-Raybould says she recorded the call with Michael Wernick because she knew something dangerous and wrong was happening, and that her job was at risk.
Asked about it the House of Commons today, Trudeau said he was never briefed on the call and wishes now that he had spoken directly to Wilson-Raybould.
Wilson-Raybould has said she took the extraordinary step of recording the call because she was at home in her Vancouver condo without a staffer to take notes, and she expected the call would be inappropriate.
"I was protecting myself," she said today. "I knew that something very dangerous and wrong was going to happen, and that my job was at risk."
Philpott called it "very unfortunate" that the situation has come to this, but said she always acted out of principle and the best interests of Canadians.
"After the story became known in the public and it was clear that there had been attempts to persuade the former attorney general to intervene in a criminal trial, and the communications of the government were to deny that took place, I could not come out here in good conscience and deny it," she said. "Because I believed what the former attorney general said."
Wilson-Raybould and Philpott said they will take time to reflect and consult with family and constituents before deciding on their next steps.

Philpott couldn't support crossing ethical boundaries​

Jane Philpott says that to say it's good enough to not break the law is a very low bar, and wasn't good enough for her.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer accused Trudeau of framing the issue as one of caucus factions, when it's really about silencing whistleblowers.
"This is about two strong individuals who saw something that was wrong and decided to stand up to it," he said during question period today. "Why does speaking truth to power disqualify you from sitting as a Liberal?"
Conservative deputy leader Lisa Raitt said Trudeau was punishing the two women for speaking up about something they believed was wrong.
"They stood up, they told their truth, and I guess the message from the Liberal Party of Canada is, if you go offside on our political aspirations, we're going to destroy you," she said.

In my opinion, the SNC scandal should have been enough to have the Prime Minister removed. And yet he doubles down on the WE Foundations scandal, the allegations of at least 11 in his party being funded the CCP, appointing a special "raconteur" to examine if a Public Enquiry is really required, The "raconteur" being a family friend of the Trudeaus and it was reported that he also sits/sat on the Trudeau Foundation. This is the same guy that game Omar Khadr around $10M for throwing grenades at US forces, was caught and jailed at 15 years of age. I wonder if the families of the two police officers that were ambushed by a mentally sick Ukraine immigrant will be shown the same level of respect?

Trudeau, Jackmeet and their parties are absolutely incompetent and out of control.

There are many reasons why Trump is out of office, but this is a big reason why. Meanwhile, Governors like Kemp and DeSantis were rewarded by being re-elected by comfortable margins for keeping businesses open. The story about the woman cutting the state lawmaker's hair is powerful.

And that's it, exactly. Most of us don't care what gender, race, or orientation someone is. We care about their qualifications.

I'm certainly no fan of the Taliban, but their Twitter account just roasted the heck out of Hillary. I think they're a bunch of nuts and a cancer on humanity, but a good comeback is a good comeback. She criticized them for only allowing boys to return to school this week and their response was savage.

Taliban Account Roasts Hillary for Loss to 'Orange Gangster,' Bill's 'Huge Mess' on 'That Dress' - Valiant News

Former senator and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was on the wrong side of a social media exchange with an unlikely adversary this week – the “Taliban Public Relations Department.”

“Girls in Afghanistan should be going back to school tomorrow, but the Taliban is only allowing boys to be educated,” Clinton tweeted on Wedensday, adding the hashtag “#LetAfghanGirlsLearn.”

In response, the Taliban account responded with a vicious roast that invoked Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump, as wells as her husband Bill’s infamous extramarital affairs.

“You spent $700m in our country trying to teach women and girls that there are 140 different genders,” the Taliban tweeted. “No wonder you lost to the orange gangster. You left a huge mess behind in Afghanistan, just like your husband did with that dress.”
