The gaslighting of Jody Wilson-Raybould: Indigenous women have seen this before GlobeDebate

Justin Trudeau, apparently, wanted to be the one prime minister Indigenous people would praise, claiming that “no relationship is more important to Canada than the relationship with Indigenous Peoples.” Gerald Butts, his former principal secretary, helped carefully construct a platform promising Indigenous peoples a “nation-to-nation relationship.” Just like electoral reform, this is something the current government has not delivered.
Despite Mr. Butts stating that he was not there to quarrel with Ms. Wilson-Raybould, nor “say a single negative word about her personally,” he effectively communicated that her testimony was not truthful, denying that she was put under pressure to offer a delayed prosecution.
