Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former top adviser Gerald Butts is back in the fold as the Liberals prepare their campaign strategy for the upcoming federal election, a senior party official confirmed to CTV News.

The source confirmed Butts’ involvement with campaign preparations, describing the new role as an advisory position to the prime minister. However, according to the source, Butts will not be at the helm or running the campaign.

A Liberal party source says Butts’ involvement shouldn’t be surprising considering his long history with the party and his relationship with Trudeau.in February, amid a furor involving the Prime Minister’s Office and SNC-Lavalin. Butts previously denied allegations that he or anyone else in the PMO pressured former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to have federal prosecutors pursue a remediation agreement instead of criminal proceedings against SNC-Lavalin.

In 2015, the Quebec engineering and construction firm was charged by the RCMP with corruption and fraud related to contracts in Libya.

What a face...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Excellent!

Shame!!! SNCLavalinGate LavScam TrudeauMustGo gmbutts

The Prime Minister must be a fool to bring Butts back

I like trump better, at least trump says what he thinks.

Wow didn’t see that one coming 🤣 Love how the Liberal cult thinks Canadians how a short memory.

Work on this till October- TrudraumustGo. Don't forget everyone.

When is justintrudeau taking Scheer to court?........ Canada is waiting ... its been months now ... I am sure the word butts would of come up in 'discovery'. Maybe this is why butts is back now?

seen on Saturday CTV News Jonathan Scott,Liberal Strategist bragging that Butts has dedicated his life to fighting ‘climate change’ so now he has the MSM -CTV, CBC, GLOBAL shilling on his behalf saying that the short lived beautiful HOT summer days in Ontario are climate change

Why?

Just get him out too...

Butts is back but I am not. People need to have a better view of the back room operation of a government, the back room folks have more power than the elected members. Not right.

The most divisive pupetmaster in the history of Canada. And the Trudeau loving MSM are thrilled.

This is equivalent to a captain jumping back on a sinking ship with a bucket absolutely pointless. TrudeauMustGo

It's their funeral.

We would love to bump into this clown, in a back lane.

ButtsMustGo TrudeauMustGo

Little potato needs some help... awe poor JT needs his BFF back for help. TrudeauMustGo TrudeaMustGo notAbot Trudeauiscorrupt FlushTheTurd

Crook!!!

The liberals are ready to be reelected in October but, are Canadians ready . Half of Canadians vote only because they feel its a privilege. Back and fourth liberal/conservative//conservatives/liberals and so on. !!! Green Party Woopie

Welcome back! About time! ScheerDesperation

yksask WONDERFUL NEWS!

Come on, who every thought he was really gone? I was just surprised that he would think he had to resign after his involvement with the Judy Wilson-Raybould tempest in a tea pot! He gave that little tea party way more credibility than it deserved!🤔🇨🇦

TrudeaMustGo

Four more years!!!

Good. All hands on desk. Better the devil we know than the devil who is like Ford

Of course he’s back! I was wondering when Butts would be slinking back after his resignation. That’s Trudeaus buddy Butts!

I thought this chump resigned? I guess Canadians already forgot how these two treat the women in their party when they speak up about liberal wrong doings. TrudeauMustGo

Yea what about geraldupthecanadiantaxpayersbutts the severance package TrudeauMustGo

You mean lose the election TrudeauMustGo LiberalLunacy LiberalsMustGo notAbot

Butts is💩💩💩I can smell the stench already

He's well named. He totally looks like a butt.

Beavis and Butts Head.

TrudeauMustGo SNCLavalinScandal

What a joke!! A God Damned Joke!! Is he pulling the drama teachers strings from above the curtain?

I'd like to say it is like he never left, but the truth is Trudeau has been a mess without him.

With help like that you don't need enemies. TrudeauMustGo

Butts' influence on the party is extraordinary. During his time, Trudeau would not make ANY policy decisions without his input. Even with a new campaign manager... Buddy Boy still needs reassurance. How pathetic. 😏

notAbot TrudeauMustGo hey Butts do remember this👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Never gone always feeding at the trough

Not the best look for the national governing party.

Wow funny how long it took him to show back up

LavScam TrudeauMustGo cdnpoli

Everyone knew that would happen. It's Trudeau's style

He just left in shame?!?!?

Doesn’t this guy look like a sleezy bag of shit.

He’s the one manipulating the “low information” Liberal voters, it’s a shame they don’t have the intelligence to see they are being manipulated...sad

Butts is brutal.

😡😡😡

Moving expenses fraud, resigned in scandal after obstructing justice and harmed unity of Canada. What happened to the RCMP investigation of him?

There can’t be anything good coming from this, this election is going to be like a rerun of “the gong show “.

Corruption at its finest! !😠

Corruption never left.

What do you mean he’s back. He never left. Get in the game.

Criminals do tend to hang around in gangs. TrudeauMustGo

More coverups

🤢🤮

What could possibly go wrong? ButtsMustGo TrudeauMustGo

Disgusting

Corruption runs deep in the liberal party.

Getting paid while drawing a pension. And enjoying the $400 000 he got from World Wildlife Fund.

TrudeauMustGo notAbot

Stench of corruption is strong.

Oh goody. Let the Liberal pocket lining begin! Again!

Cockroach. TrudeauMustGo

Awesome. This will ensure that arrogant and immature Trudeau goes down. TrudeauMustGo

🤥👎👎👎😠

And what’s wrong with that.

The bully is back

This might cost them the election

Let him come back. Keeps the corruption front and center. Hes just helping with the final nails in the coffin TrudeauMustGo

Hey, I am not elected but I am baacck!

I wonder what corruption he will enforce this time TrudeauMustGo

What a joke...He never really left.... He’s complicit in the way this govt does business, their hypocrisy, their lack of ethics and transparency, the virtue signalling, the corruption and the contempt for the taxpayer and the elitism that this party portrays daily TrudeauMustGo

Fits perfectly with the other ethically challenged Liberals

Disgusting

Good news!

Good news for the PCs! This idiot will chase voters away!! He has the right name and looks like one!!!

I wonder if he’ll suggest loudly repeating that all the taxpayers he lives off of are Nazis.

TrudeauMustGo and so must Butts

I see a P.O.S going down the liberal toilet with all the other turds..

No wonder they're failing miserably

ButtseysBack TrudeauMustGo TrudeauIsDone TrudeauIsFinished

This guy seriously needs a (fill in the blank)

And for that alone I will vote for another party!! Anyone that can vote Liberal after they knowingly bring back the guy that turned the Justic Committee into a joke - seriously has reality problems. This is wrong - he should be behind bars; instead he is back from the shadows!

Butts was never gone. Corruption is strong in this one

Hope he returned his severance pay then

Not a good idea!

Surely they could have found someone cheaper to plan packing their desks and moving out. TrudeauMustGo

TrudeauMustGot notAbot

Good!! He took the fall for the party after being betrayed by two ingrates whom I believe will not be re-elected as independents.

rachaiello Corruption TrudeauMustGo notAbot

He should never have resigned in the first place. He did utterly nothing wrong.

If so this election just got a hell of a lot more expensive for taxpayers. Funny how they can call out Trump but the man who calls the majority of Canadian Nazis is welcomed back with open arms.

That will bite them in the butts! TrudeauMustGo

Scapegoat 101 - scapegoat leaves taking blame for scandal, and he stays gone so scandal doesn’t boomerang.

The puppeteer never left. He ran trudope from the closet. He took the blame on purpose so he could run Trudope from the back room. Now the jackass is back. What a farce.

He did a great job lying to protect the drama teacher last time. Pretty sure the leopard didn’t change his spots

Of course he is. This is why TrudeauMustGo

OMG ! There is an election in Canada ? I’ve been so distracted by all the USA tweets from CTV news. I better start paying more attention to Canada, eh ?

More lies will come from the Liberals.

TrudeauMustGo notAbot

So he did nothing wrong but resigned anyway. Then returns after drama teacher pays off media. How much did CTV get by the way? Obviously there is an ethics issue here but CTV will just lay down like the Cbc. I will learn more from The Rebel. Only option. They didn't take $.

TrudeauMustGo notAbot

The crooked bureaucrat?

AndrewScheer , you should demand to know if his severance pay was returned. I don’t know of another job you can resign from, get paid out, and return to in less than a year while keeping the money. LavScam TrudeauMustGo

Puppet Master?

TrudeauMustGo and Rasputin with him.

gmbutts and telfordk are both responsible for sinking Ontario into massive deficits getting McGinty & Wynne elected. Federally they already have steared us into massive deficits. When do Canadians rejeckt these evildoers and vote liberals out before thers nothing left of Canad

Oh for f sake!

LockHimUp

Weird to see rats return to the sinking ship, he must have a little more to drain from the public trough TrudeauMustGo

Such a disgrace

Did he return his severance?

Should be in jail
