Canada Free Press: Yesterday Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s principal secretary, Gerald Butts, resigned. Currently the Liberal government is involved in its worst scandal yet, being accused of trying to get then Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould not to proceed with criminal charges against SNC Lavalin, a company that contributes big time to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Butts’ resignation was one of those things, if this makes sense, which was both shocking and not totally unexpected. Butts and Trudeau go way back and have been friends since their university days or in Justin’s case, his university minutes. Butts was often referred to as Prime Minister Butts, Trudeau’s Brain and Trudeau’s Puppet Master. When Trudeau did or said something clearly beyond his mental capacity to do so, that act or statement was believed to have originated with Butts.

There are a lot of calls for Trudeau himself to resign over what is now known as LavaScam (Canadian scandals tend to end in “scam” while those south of the border end in “gate”). It would be terrible if the PM himself did pack it in.
There was a time not so long ago when Honourable Members of Parliament were in fact honourable. They would demand PMs or cabinet ministers resign over matters not nearly as bad or serious as LavaScam. But, except on social media there are virtually no calls for Trudeau himself, as the dictatorial head of the government, to resign. And there are good reasons for that. more here
Not that I can be bothered to check, but my guess is that this whole story is being covered as little as possible by the
Liberal Party Press AgencyCBC.Interesting article. For those who don’t want to read the whole thing, the bottom line is that if Justine resigns, his Lib replacement would likely ensure a Lib govt being elected next time. If JT stays and continues to make an ass of himself, his party will likely lose.
I’m glad I did read it, because near the bottom I found this delightful paragraph:
