Politics Insider for April 10: Philpott claims expulsion breached rights, the PM defends his libel threat, and what Quebec and Alberta have in common
A week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kicked former cabinet ministers Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould out of the Liberal caucus, Trudeau found himself once again locked in a battle of “she said, he said“.
So needy: On cue, Liberals went after Philpott. Tourism Minister Melanie Joly said her former colleague suffers from “a need for attention. … I think we’re moving on and I think my colleagues need to move on, too.” Because—and despite all outward appearances—there is still time and the Prime Minister is not without his powers. The entire resource of government is there to be deployed at his command.
Taxpayer doh!: With populist politicians everywhere attacking the Liberals’ carbon tax plan as an elitist cash grab that hurts consumers, there might have been a better way to sell its merits than having Environment Minister Catherine McKenna fork over $12 million to self-confessed bread price fixer Loblaw Companies to buy low-emission fridges.
