The conditions for a brawl appear to be set after Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez announced that he will testify at a parliamentary committee about the now-dead WE deal on Monday, rather than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or members of his staff.
Yes, idiot, fall on your sword for a snowboard instructor.
What a way to end a career!

“Extraordinary borrowing” by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will cost $635,000,000,000 this year, nearly triple what Parliament spent to fight the Second World War. Freeland in a debt report to Parliament urged Canadians to reflect on the pandemic’s impact: “Take stock of what really matters.”
Your resignation would matter a hell of a lot.
A step in the right direction:
A Conservative senator is moving to block governors general such as Julie Payette from receiving their generous government pension and benefits if they resign before the end of their mandate.
Should Payette, the first ever governor general to resign in the wake of a damning workplace review after three and a half years on the job, be eligible to receive a nearly $150,000 annual pension plus a lifetime expense program of up to $206,000 per year?
Not according to Conservative Senator Claude Carignan, who will table a private member’s bill in the Senate on Tuesday that would financially cut off any future governor general who leaves the job for non-medical reasons before the end of their five-year mandate, National Post has learned.
“I was shocked and I was angry, like many Canadians, because there is no way to justify earning that amount of pension when you held your job for such a short amount of time. The annual expense budget she has is nearly equivalent to that of the average MP’s office,” Carignan said in an interview Monday.
