As the Mound said yesterday, if the best the Trudeau apologists can do is say their man is better than Harper, that's really not saying very much, is it? As zoombats above said, the betrayal of electoral reform was one of the planks in Justin's coffin for me.

Also, she was in her new cabinet position for a month before deciding she had been demoted - I suspect "coached" in this decision.<br /><br />In spite of all the legal opinions from revered former senior judges, JWR remained steadfast in her decision not to give SNC a DPA. (A DPA is not a "get out of jail free" card, although the media seems to play it up like it is.) By all accounts, she was not a very good lawyer, MoJ/AG, or politician.<br /><br />Ultimately, there was nothing illegal here. JWR said so.
