SNC-Lavalin Scandal Just Gets Worse

The latest resignation of a Minister from the Trudeau Cabinet is the worst blow yet for the Liberals.  Minister of Treasury Board, Jane Philpott, released a letter saying among other things - "It is a fundamental doctrine of the rule of law that our attorney general should not be subjected to political pressure or interference regarding the exercise of her prosecutorial discretion in criminal cases. Sadly, I have lost confidence in how the government has dealt with this matter and in how it has responded to the issues raised."

This is the strongest condemnation of Trudeau and his gang yet, and, noting its source, the most devastating.  Trudeau and gang stand accused of acting contrary to the rule of law.  Ms. Philpott was blunt and direct.  How are the government's spin doctors going to spin that into something innocent?

Will the remaining Liberal MPs rally round Trudeau and gang to support him, come hell or high water?  This remains to be seen.  It is, of course, possible, that principle may vanquish blind loyalty, and a vote of non-confidence could precipitate the fall of the government.  It may be a bit premature to predict that at this time.  Keep watching.  If it happens, it would be completely deserved.
