Wilson-Raybould tells constituents she's sticking with Liberals for 2019 vote

Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould walks from West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Thursday February 28, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Last Updated Friday, March 15, 2019 3:12PM EDT

Nonetheless, she said, she plans to stand for re-election as a Liberal in the Vancouver-Granville riding next fall because she got into politics to change that culture -- and still has plenty of work to do. She said she never expected to find herself thrust into the centre of a controversy that culminated last month in her resignation from cabinet.Wilson-Raybould told the House of Commons justice committee that Trudeau and several members of his senior staff were part of a prolonged and co-ordinated effort to convince her to overrule a decision by the director of public prosecutions to proceed with a criminal trial against SNC-Lavalin on charges of bribery.

The justice committee and the ethics commissioner are both investigating the allegations, the RCMP have been asked to investigate and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has expressed its concern, saying it is monitoring the investigations.

Inside info

This is a joke.

WHY? Starting with our illustrious 'prime' minister, they have virtually ALL stabbed her in the back. She would be a valuable addition to the soon-to-be-elected Conservative party. I think all Canadians would understand her 'crossing the floor'.

She drills a hole in the boat and then stays on it while it sinks.... or will she turn that boat to a submarine, rise out of the depths as leader of the Liberal party?

Sounds strange. How can she function within the Corrupt Liberal structure? Unless JT is going to fall on the Liberal sword before the next election....

Speaking of veiled threats...

Oh sure throw bomb into the party but then use them to keep your job, LEAVE!

What a two face liar!

I have a feeling she’s got plans.

Raybould: “I like pressure. Trudeau knows how to apply pressure. He also demoted me cause he saw my true potential. He’ll apologize & compensate me well. Out of court. I’ll also get benefits for stress leave?” cdnpoli politics ThoughtForTheDay

That's nice of you, however Liberals don't want traitors in the party . Just resign .

Too bad for someone that can't stand with the PM running for Liberals is an insult to all Canadians you stand with corruption

Why?

Please : you are sucker for punishment..

I think this letter is in preparation to announce her bid to run for leadership of the Liberal Party. If not her, it will be Jane Philpot. The party won't survive with Trudeau.

Why? To stand for leadership?

I respect her ethics even though I have no respect for the current liberal party.

To bad. The libs are corrupt. Why would you stick with them . Puglaas

Really?!!!wow. The sympathy for you is gone!

Who would vote for an individual who threw their own party under the bus?

I guess her experience isn't as bad as AndrewScheer and would like for us all to believe!

What if we don't want her? Personally I think she should be kicked out.

She hasn't learned anything then?

Puglaas loses an awful lot of cedibilty if she does so under the parties current leadership.

Can not trust Puglaas she is not the person that people want to believe she is!! She is corrupt!

JWR is staying in the liberal party because she is cleaning house to restore the rule of law and decency within the liberal party of Canada, this is something the liberal party of Canada is lacking cdnpoli onpoli ldnont

Liberals delay debate on whether to bring Wilson-Raybould back to testifyLiberal MPs have delayed debate on a motion to bring former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould back before the House of Commons Justice Committee. Delay?..they need to shut down this dog and pony show! The answer is no 🤨, but typical of Liberals, they want to say its pending, since they cannot make a decision when there’s too many people watching. Happens to people who are crooked or dodging the ball all the time. SNCscam The Conservatives and NDP can create their own forum and invite her to speak. Put it on Youtube like everyone else does to get the truth out to the public.

Liberals must let Wilson-Raybould come back to committee opposition saysOpposition MPs say Jody Wilson-Raybould must testify again before the House of Commons justice committee if it is to properly determine whether the Prime Minister's Office acted improperly in the case of SNC-Lavalin.
