While insisting there’s no scandal, the Liberals have struggled to explain why they’ve worked so fervently to shut it down
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are acting like someone caught in an ice storm who won’t admit it’s cold. The more the country raises questions the harder they insist there’s nothing to answer. They’ve turned the SNC-Lavalin affair into a scandal about a scandal: they simply refuse to admit a scandal exists.
Yet those Liberals still willing to be caught speaking on camera maintain it’s all a big zero, a non-event, a lot of smoke without a fire. Toronto MP Judy Sgro became the latest, and perhaps brashest, in demanding Wilson-Raybould, and former Treasury Board president Jane Philpott “put up or shut up” with their quest to share more details of their dispute.
Former Liberal MP Marlene Jennings praised Sgro for criticizing the two women: “ had the courage to say publicly what so many Lib MPs are thinking and believe,” Jennings tweeted. “JWR & JP have become ridiculous actors in a truly silly soap opera of their own making. Time to grow up and put your grownup pants on.
Instead, she said, she’s motivated by her belief that “there was evidence of an attempt to politically interfere with the justice system,” that “there’s much more to the story that should be told,” and that “there’s been an attempt to shut down the story,” presumably by Trudeau or those surrounding him.
Most of all, there’s the obvious question: why put their two colleagues through the wringer if there’s nothing to hide?
