Too few decide to subject themselves to the endless s*itty criticism that comes w life in politics. When someone of the calibre of David Lametti puts some years into public service, his political opponents could treat his contribution with respect. That’s the right thing to do

If the Conservative leader wanted more facts, why didn’t he ask the PM during their meeting? Instead he put out a statement that he was aligned with Trudeau, until he later decided to knife the PM instead.
