Whenever he opens his mouth, something stupid falls out.
Perhaps one should not tempt fate:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t have to testify at the trial of a man accused of throwing gravel at him during a London election campaign stop in 2021.
Superior Court Justice Ian Leach has quashed the subpoena issued by the defence lawyers for Shane Marshall, 26, who is set to go to trial Tuesday in the Ontario Court of Justice on a charge of assault with a weapon.
Marshall was a local riding association president for the People’s Party of Canada. He was charged after a Sept. 6, 2021 Liberal campaign whistle-stop at a London craft brewery during which police said gravel was thrown at Trudeau as he was boarding his bus.
Monday, Leach gave a brief oral decision at the end of a hearing and said he should have written reasons either by the end of Monday or early Tuesday.
During the hearing, lawyer Fredrick Schumann, arguing on behalf of Trudeau, said the subpoena should be quashed primarily because Trudeau, as a sitting member of Parliament, has testimonial immunity and the court can’t compel him to testify while Parliament is in session.
Doesn't Justin want justice done?!
