Canada former AG quits amid political interference controversy
«Canada’s former attorney general resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet on Tuesday amid controversy over the prosecution of construction and engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.
“With a heavy heart, I have submitted my letter of resignation to the prime minister as a member of cabinet,” Jody Wilson-Raybould said in a Twitter message.
Wilson-Raybould had been the nation’s first indigenous attorney general and justice minister until last month when she was shuffled to the veterans affairs portfolio, ahead of October elections.
The Globe and Mail newspaper, citing unnamed sources, last week reported that Trudeau’s office had tried to pressure her to intervene in the SNC-Lavalin case, but she refused to ask prosecutors to settle with the company to avoid a costly trial.»

Poveretto Mr Trudeu! I suoi nemici populisti, lebbrosi, hanno imparato più che bene i metodi liberal socialisti.
Canada. Ontario. I populisti di Mr Doug vincono 76 seggi contro i 7 dei liberal.
Fu una débâcle memorabile.
G7. Volano gli stracci. Figuraccia di Trudeau il trombato.
Poi gli era caduta addosso l’accusa delle accuse, quella che da sola vale una sentenza all’ergastolo passata in giudicato.
Justin Trudeau, premier canadese, si era palpeggiato Mrs. Rose Knight.
Se almeno Mr Trudeau si fosse palpeggiato un gitone sarebbe stato in armonia con i tempi e con il suo credo politico: invece aveva cercato di apprezzare le carni glutee di una femmina, Mrs Rose Knight.
Tutti sanno che l’aver soppesato le carni muliebri genera in queste una terrificante sequela di orrifiche e persecutorie stigmate che alla fine impediscono loro di svolgere il proprio servizio di ierodule, con severi danni economici, che solo una congrua riparazione milionaria può lenire. E noto che i poveracci non siano mai citati per sexual harassment.

Adesso la persona che Mr Trudeau si era coccolata, perché femmina e perché indigena, gli si è rivoltata contro come la serpe in seno.
Se non fosse una frase da peccato mortale maschilista, si dovrebbe dire: “vatti a fidare delle femmine liberal”!
