It Has to Start Somewhere

Has anyone asked why Justin is an insufferable, morally and mentally dissonant little sh--?

Look no further:

Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s cabinet opposed compensation for Japanese-Canadians interned during World War II since they did not appear unhappy, according to declassified Cabinet Minutes. Ministers said compensating those whose property was seized would set a precedent: “All minorities will feel they should have a right to redress.”

Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau planned to combat 1981 recession protests with pro-Liberal federal advertising and tips for cabinet on how to “appear to listen,” say declassified records. Trudeau cautioned: “Nothing would be more harmful than to communicate a sense of not knowing what we are doing.”

Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s cabinet in secret 1983 meetings dismissed Brian Mulroney as a “new boy” easily ridiculed for “glibness and flippancy,” according to declassified records obtained by Blacklock’s. The Liberal cabinet expressed confidence it would beat Mulroney in a 1984 election: ‘Ministers should be seen to be giving the ‘new boy’ a chance.”

 

He was among his fellows:

Then-Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan in 1982 wanted to sue child killer Clifford Olson to recover federal cash payments but dropped the idea for fear of political embarrassment, say declassified records. Cabinet at a confidential meeting complained it only learned after that fact the RCMP paid Olson $100,000 to disclose where he buried his victims in the British Columbia woods: “Mr. MacGuigan stressed the decision was his alone.”

Oh, I'm sure it was.

And Jody Wilson-Raybould was looking for a moment to leave.
