Another member of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet has resigned over a scandal that has shaken his government in an election year.

Treasury Board president Jane Philpott said Monday it is “untenable” for her continue to serve in cabinet because she could not defend the government.

Former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould testified last week that Trudeau and senior members of his government inappropriately tried to pressure her to avoid prosecution of a major Canadian engineering company in a case involving allegations of corruption in Libya.

Looks like it will be end of Meterosexual Boy. I have to admire these Canadian politicians who put country before party. In America especially for the Democrats, it is you follow the party boss even if the person is scum.

YOu cannot trust the GOP either. The party is like a building fascade on a movie set with nothing behind the front.

Yes that does appear to be an important distinction. Liberals who are nonetheless willing to hold other Liberals to ethical standards. Contrast that with our Democrats and people like James Comey.
