Young women turn backs on PM in House of Commons

[Anonymous]

OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau is acknowledging the internal strife roiling his Liberal government, telling a group of young women that politics is often about reconciling opposite perspectives and differences of opinion.



But about 48 of the young would-be MPs taking part in the Daughters of the Vote event on the floor of the House of Commons didn't want to hear it, turning their backs on the prime minister as he spoke.



Trudeau was addressing 338 young women who are taking part in the program, which encourages young women to get involved in politics — some of whom have already used their social media feeds to register their displeasure with the prime minister.



On Tuesday, Trudeau expelled former cabinet ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott out of the Liberal caucus for what he described as breaking the bonds of trust with their fellow MPs over the government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.



The move has fuelled accusations that the Liberals have abandoned their 2015 campaign commitments to Indigenous reconciliation and gender equality.



The SNC controversy has engulfed the government for nearly two months following Wilson-Raybould's allegations that as attorney general, she was improperly pressured by the Prime Minister's Office to intervene in criminal proceedings against the Montreal-based engineering giant.

Women over looked the Kokanee grope, elbowing a woman in the House, but bullying his JWR into blocking corruption and bribery charges against SNC-Lavalin was the last straw. The only thing worse for his reelection hopes is if his hair falls out.

I know our prime minister's feminism is phony, but these political stunts don't impress me.

Justine says it was unconscionable that JWR recorded conversations of Wernick trying to twist her arm into doing something unethical on his behalf.



Who the hell voted for Justine. Aren't you embarrassed if you did.

Lots of people vote for a candidate and later regret it.
