Her conduct was not as overtly unethical and egregious as JWR's. She'll likely stay.Brihard said:Curious to see what happens with Philpott.
Based on FJAG's post of the CBA rules she's alleged to have broken, I think her days as a lawyer are over. There's also an ever increasing parade of Liberals, many of the lawyers, knifing her for her conduct while still obfuscating the actual content of the recording.Brihard said:I'll be curious to see what she does now.
Brihard said:I think her window for crossing the floor closed a while ago, and particularly with the recording of conversations, she's painted a black mark on herself.
She may well emerge as an activist/lobbyist for any number of causes that will cause the PM sleepless nights.Brihard said:But she still has a great deal of credibility, popular support, and political clout in B.C.
Well, I can't be right 100% of the time. Just when my wife lets me.Brihard said:Philpott is out too.
She will be playing defense for the next couple of days. Then the Liberals will lay off in the hope that she stays quiet. Time to move on.Brihard said:I'm very curious to see how she in turn plays this.
A slight add, depending on the pipeline in question.Chris Pook said:I expect JWR to negotiating pipelines on behalf of the AFN and/or affected First Nations shortly. And I am not sure that would be a bad thing. There are deals to be had.
Just imagine for a moment. She is one of those rare people who are exactly what they say they are: in her case she claims to be dedicated to the liberal philosophy and idealism: including honesty and truthfulness, exactly the things that Trudeau claimed in the last election. Now, having had her idealism shattered by the actions of the PM and the PMO and being thoroughly disgusted with the whole group she has personally declared war on the entire group. What is the old saying;@nothing so fierce as a woman scorned'. There is no end too the amount of hurt she is able to inflict. She could single-handedly cause a re-build of the entire party especially if she has the backing of the first nations.PuckChaser said:JWR now has nothing to lose.... if the Liberals thought this would make her go away, they probably just underestimated her greatly. Now all those skeletons are going to start coming out of the closet (minus any cabinet confidences).

Never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity these guys, right? ;DJarnhamar said:Never thought I'd enjoy watching the Liberals in action. I'm quite happy how they've handled everything so far. I was a bit worried they wouldn't fire JWR but they pulled though again.
