Conservatives demand PM resign
Editor:
Canadians were shocked to hear the explosive testimony of former Attorney General Jody WilsonRaybould on the SNC-Lavalin affair. Her story was one of inappropriate, and potentially illegal, pressure brought on her by the highest officials of Justin Trudeau’s government and Justin Trudeau himself – all to let a Liberal-connected corporation off the hook on corruption charges.
Justin Trudeau simply cannot continue to govern this great nation now that Canadians know what he has done. Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s testimony tells the story of a Prime Minister who has lost the moral authority to govern. A Prime Minister who allowed his partisan political motivations to overrule his duty to uphold the law. A Prime Minister who has allowed a systemic culture of corruption to take root in his office.
Andrew Scheer and Canada’s Conservatives are calling on Justin Trudeau to resign. Further, we are asking that the RCMP immediately open an investigation into the numerous examples of obstruction of justice that were detailed in the testimony.
Canada should be a country where we are all equal under the law. Where nobody – regardless of wealth, status, or political connections – is above the law. I believe we can be that country again.
Sincerely,
David Anderson
Member of Parliament
