"After all these testimonies, including those particularly informative, Gerald Butts and the Deputy Minister of Justice, Nathalie Drouin, we understand a little better what happened in the pseudo-scandal that disrupts the politico-media class from English Canada." #cdnpoli 1/22
"Certainly, nothing in this affair required Prime Minister Trudeau to do his act of contrition, as claimed by the most enthusiastic commentators of the English-language media." 2/22
"It is rather those who raised a statue to Jody Wilson-Raybould who should do their examination of conscience."

For goodness sake! @CBCNews Are you going to call out Scheer's misinformation you are presenting right now on your station? 1. A DPA does not "let SNC off the hook" - can you have someone on who can accurately explain what a DPA is, please? #cdnpoli 1/4
2. #JWR was not fired. Can you have someone on to explain that a cabinet shuffle is not a "firing", please?
3. Can you also have someone on to clarify that, yes, people do experience and recall events differently? 2/4

Seriously. Let him speak. But don't let his misinformation stand as truth. Dissect his words as carefully as you dissect the PM's. It's only fair. You devoted hours this morning to tearing apart Trudeau's speech. Let's see you do the same with what Scheer says. 3/4
1. If #GerryButts' testimony is true, it would seem that #JWR as AG thought that the fact the decision was hers alone to make entitled her to consider her decision to be "final", even though in Law, no decision should ever be final until the verdict is read.

2. #JWR apparently reached the decision quickly, with little consultation with Cabinet, didn't want an Emeritus opinion, did not communicate how she got to her final decision, did not communicate the finality of her decision in writing to the PM,

3. ...did not communicate (there's a theme here) her frustration about the "pressure" to the PM, did not communicate to Canadians anything inappropriate (in #JWRs opinion) was going on...

Butts: We didn’t move #JodyWilsonRaybould from Attorney General because of her principled stance on #SNCLavalin, but because of her principled stance against administering the Indian Act which she spent her life fighting. This testimony just left me supporting #JWR more. #cdnpoli
Butts: “This is not a big deal and the government did nothing wrong.” So why did you resign? #cdnpoli #SNCLavalin
Butts: “If #JodyWilsonRaybould knew this was political interference, she should have said so.” I believe she spoke in her testimony to how she directly asked @JustinTrudeau if that’s what he was doing, making it clear this was her opinion. #cdnpoli #SNCLavalin
