Too late for apology on Snc-lavalin

Dear Justin, please don’t waste your breath apologizing for your lack of ethics. It is too late.

The minute the report on your interference in the Snc-lavalin issue came out by the ethics commissioner, you should have apologized, admitted you made another error in judgment and that you promise to do better for the citizens of Canada.

Instead you defended your decision and further cemented your hypocritical stance toward open and honest government.

If you apologize now, it will not be because you recognize you made a mistake and take ownership, it will be because you were pressured by people to do the right thing, or it will be because you or your handlers realize Canadians are not the fools you think we are and don’t approve your underhanded politics.

In other words, you have missed the opportunity to be sincere and any apology now will be hollow.

Pity.

I am sure you will apologize at some point.

Really, you have apologized for just about everything possible that has happened in Canadian history from the treatment of sled dogs to the government approach to our Indigenous friends.

But then, I guess it is easy for you to apologize for the actions of people long dead than to apologize for something you have done.

No one asked you to apologize for caring for Canadian workers, you should have apologized for breaking the law and justifying it for your own political gain. Shame on you.

Hopefully at the next election, Canadians will tell you exactly how they are disgusted with your egotistical corporate support at the expense of the rule of law.

We need a prime minister with higher morals.
