Justin Trudeau has banished two Members of Parliament from his party’s caucus after they questioned his leadership amid inappropriate interference in a corruption case of a powerful Canadian engineering company. Trudeau took the unprecedented step of kicking out former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, a former Cabinet minister, from the Liberal party caucus on Tuesday. I spoke truth as I will continue to do.”Philpott, meanwhile, said that Trudeau is continuing to focus on whistleblowers rather than admitting that the inappropriate pressure was exerted. “That approach now appears to be focused on whether Jody Wilson-Raybould should have audiotaped the Clerk instead of the circumstances that prompted Jody Wilson-Raybould to feel compelled to do so,” she added. Wilson-Raybould said during the call that she found the aide’s pressure “entirely inappropriate” and accused the administration of “political interference,” which Wernick denied.
