The CBC is reporting that both Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are considering joining The Green Party:
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said today she expects two former Liberal MPs who quit Justin Trudeau's cabinet over the SNC-Lavalin matter will decide whether to join her party by early June.
Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott resigned and were subsequently kicked out of the Liberal caucus in the fallout of the SNC-Lavalin affair, which saw top government officials accused by Wilson-Raybould of pressuring her to interfere in legal proceedings against the Quebec construction company.
Wilson-Raybould attended May's wedding in Victoria last month; at the time, according to a Global News report, she said she'd had "several conversations with Elizabeth, no decision has been made yet."
May said she's talked to both women but she's still unsure of her chances of securing them as candidates.
Liberal MP Andrew Leslie has announced that he will not run in the next election. If the case against Vice Admiral Mark Norman had gone to trial, he would have testified in Norman's defence.
Team Trudeau is falling apart. And it's repeating a well established pattern: From Trudeau and Turner, to Turner and Chretien, to Chretien and Martin, the Liberals always destroy themselves from within.
