Independent candidate Jody Wilson-Raybould arrives at a federal election campaign event in Vancouver on Sept. 18, 2019.In 2015, Jody Wilson-Raybould symbolized the change that Justin Trudeau’s Liberals were promising. She had left a role as regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations in B.C. for elected politics, hoping to change the country. Six years later, she has decided not to run again, saying the atmosphere in federal politics is toxic.
In 2013 or 2014, I decided to leave my position as regional chief because of the need to change laws and policies. And I believed wholeheartedly in the opportunity that was presented to me [by] the now-Prime Minister, the way that we had committed to addressing the major issues that were important to me. Obviously, I joined the Liberal Party. I believed that we were going to do what we promised we were going to do. And my realization over six years was that some promises just didn’t matter.Yeah.
You’ve talked about leadership more than a few times recently. One time it was in a statement that you made when you refused unanimous consent for a Bloc Québécois motion that said Quebec could change the Constitution unilaterally. Who lacks leadership? I think I had said this publicly, and I said this privately to the Prime Minister: I believe when something goes wrong, that you do apologize for it and you work to fix it. I mean, it depends on what the Prime Minister knew or didn’t know, what he was involved with, or wasn’t involved with.What do you think now? Could it have been fixed? You had talks about staying.Well, I don’t know. I don’t think so. My view is very different from his.
I bet she has been doing a lot of reflecting
Why support this woman? I've seen your pro-con leanings in your placement of articles, your omission of context, your omission of positive happenings. You're no longer a reputable newspaper! This narcissist was a disaster at her job. She confirmed no pressure & no laws broken.
Globe and Mail pushing her whining is so on point.
… ahead of her book release.
She still does not see how her nativity influenced events. She joined politics because she recognized that the change she desired could not be achieved on the “outside” and then she quit. Her first call was correct but it takes courage, strength and determination.
Wow the Liberal attack dogs have been unleashed. How dare someone criticize Dear Leader!
😴 💤 😴
Yawn!
Jody who? traitor
For all those JWR haters, I loved how she exposed JT and dragged the liberals through mud over SNC Lavalin. I will never have the same respect for the Liberals as I did before. She showed how truly corrupt they all are!
Who cares ?!?
Sure, whatever
Nothing to see here. Just a nobody wanting to be a somebody. 👋
Looking forward to reading your book, 'Indian' in the Cabinet. Hope its out before election day.
Does she not understand what a messsge it symbolizes when she ties herself so strongly and consistently to a National newspaper that shares none of her views/ policy positions! It’s done twisted version of letting the fox in the henhouse but hoping to affect a different outcome.
Puglaas ma'am even as an immigrant from a 1st world nation, I do not trust the zhaagnaash politicians who run Canada. They seem to be born to tell lies or engage in doublespeak , but some have learnt how to talk without saying things of substance talkingpoints jivetalking
Canadian politics is soooooooo boring!
Enough with Judy-Wilson Raybold She’s had her day.
JWR v. ‘The Prince’. “I’m not against political parties, but when it reaches the point of blind loyalty, or again, when you’re in the party or in the caucus, diverse views being suppressed or marginalized because of a party view – that’s problematic for democracy.”
who really cares
Frankly my dear.......
Congratulations to you. Toxic politics personified with a nobel approach to non-partisan politics! Good on you!
yawn
Who fucking cares?
Snooze we don’t care
We actually don’t care. Move on.
JWR, Reflect on the damage you’ve caused with your thoughtless and reckless support of BillC16 ammendbillc16 womenmatter biologymatters womenssexbasedrights stoperasingwomen
I really don't care..
Pathetic desperate
Jody Wilson-Raybould is a terrific politician. She is the only First Nations Cabinet Minister fired for being honest. The Ethics Commissioner found Justin guilty of lying and corruption trying to protect corrupt SNC!!! Justin is the worst Prime Minister ever!
Who really gives a FK
Ah, the pre-memoir self-promotion tour. Does she mention how she refused to give up her suite of offices when she was no longer in cabinet?
OMG. Toxic? She's the one who's toxic.
Wow! Are the sock puppets ever out in force on this one. Struck a nerve, did she?
She should reflect on her duplicitous nature.
Lol! Here’s a quick summary. cdnpoli
More accurate headline: Jody Wilson-Raybould LIES about her time in federal politics!
No one cares, JWR was a useless MP. Even her book is only useful in the lavatory.
Backstabbing, underhanded, unethical, and sneaky sums up JWR. I hope Trudeau calls an election to deny her pension out of spite. If she cared about indigenous issues, she would've accepted the portfolio. Didn't she go after her party with Kinsella?
G&M you know what, respectful, common sensed Cdns don't give a toss what Ms.JWR says or does anymore. She was toxic while in cabinet. She's still toxic out of gov. She matters not to the fabric of Cdn civil society as her efforts to get $$$ for her memoir is her only agenda.
Isn't she married to that guy from the Fraser Institute?
Hyper-partisan I believe, not listening too. But my sister worked for DIAND, first as secretary and eventually as a senior department manager - that was a toxic environment, thanks to activists like JWR who made work impossible; eventual she had to take early retirement or quit.
I will skip the diva’s ruminations Puglaas
Grown up professional joins historically corrupt political party, comes away from it surprised she found corruption.
Who cares
Not interested in her reflections on toxicity in politics unless she offers an honest appraisal of her contribution to it. Also, not planning to hold my breath...
Who is JSiculli and why is he Mr Spam here? As for the rest of male chauvinists, it shows. He pov on the file was proven.
Good riddance.
Less toxic with her gone, that's a given.
ah stroking her ego, are we? no one cares. after the next election, no one will remember her either.
Enough already
Reflecting on how she turned her back on Indigenous people?
👎
Bahahaha
Has JWR been disbarred yet?
Gag
What a waste of electoral good will she was. Ignored so many opportunities due to infection with the DipShit15 virus.
Like all narcissists, she blames others for her failings. She is petty, vindictive and has one goal - to bring down the PM. Will be very interesting to see what right wing board she ends up on. She knows where she is heading.
Pass
....with the help of her surreptitious recording collection.
Who cares?
Will it mention her failure to get Glen Assoun out of jail or her failed coup and taping her conversation with the Clerk of the Privy Council? LiesandDamnLies
There’s reasons I don’t subscribe. This is one of them
It's aaaaallllllll about her all the time.
Will the book cover her squatting in an office?! Will it cover her being difficult, not a team player?!
Zero interest in her “reflections”.
I made an exception and read this G&M article. To sum up very briefly: JWR learned that while in Government, she could not have everything her own way all the time and so she is now leaving.
Why is G&M ignoring when JWR had a toxic work environment?!
I can't wait to read your book! I already have it pre-ordered but don't receive it till September 14th!
John68Richmond Who?
Toxic? A lot more civilized now, without Jody.
Did she reflect about the innocent man she left rotting in jail for a year because she just didnt have time.
Some of us foolishly expected greatness. We got inept narcissism. I still can't get past her indecision on Glen Assoun case. He rotted as his file sat on JWR's desk 18 mos. Then there was that audio tape where she baited Wernick and filed but STILL thot it good to air in public.
Did she reflect on the time the ndp and conservatives called for her resignation?
JWR is toxic imo
How to destroy your political career in 3 easy steps 🤦♂️
So looking forward to reading her book.
She still whining
