The footage shows the Kwakwaka’wakw lawyer Bill Wilson sitting across from the then prime minister, Pierre Trudeau – the father of the country’s current leader. Wilson tells Trudeau that both of his daughters want to become lawyers – and even prime minister. She was also featured in editorial cartoons that were widely panned as racist and sexist – which the prime minister subsequently condemned. Throughout the affair, she has remained silent and resisted becoming a foil for opposition parties seeking to capitalize on the feud with the prime minister. So far, the prime minister appears determined to weather the self-inflicted storm, but those who know Wilson-Raybould believe he may have picked the wrong battle.
