It is ridiculous and funny. That leave them in caucus so could tape and make public private conversations.

SusnGrant Laws.. there for 'little people' and most especially not for those of us named 'Trudeau' cdnpoli

UPDATE: Philpott accused Trudeau of breaching the Parliament of Canada Act. The headline in our story has been updated to clarify that point (but alas, undeleted tweets live forever).

“rules” do better research and reporting.

Jesus, get up to speed HuffPo. She's already walked this back.

No. She didn't. CBC already tweeted a clarification.

Trudeau says Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott no longer Liberal caucus members - Macleans.caJustin Trudeau has removed Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal caucus. “The trust that previously existed between these two individuals and our team has been broken,” Trudeau told caucus members. She upheld the laws of Canada and they removed her for it. Let that sink in. All these libs outraged bc she taped a convo. but perfectly fine with a gov't attempting to interfere in our justice system. Hand your head in shame. He should have booted them long ago. And Celina 2 years ago. She was a part time employee anyway. About time

Morning Update: Breaking down the Wilson-Raybould and Philpott caucus expulsionsAlso: Canada’s environmental watchdog says Ottawa isn’t doing enough to fight climate change The liberal party has no issue with JWR (or her staffers) taking detailed notes... JT can interpret the situation differently when there are only notes. When JT’s good buddy is caught with irrevocable evidence of lying and pressuring JWR, the entire caucus lose their minds. As a FirstNation I more worried about the ClimateChange report that was just released. JWR seems more interested in helping the Conservatives. Climate change looms large for FN treaty & inherent rights. I ain't mad at Liberals for expelling her it's about Canada's future. Let's think how to end or improve the de facto dictatorship in current Canadian politics/parties! Any member of any political parties in Canada: can the leader of your party be criticized? Do you always have to say 'positive' things of your leader?
