SNC Lavalin affair: Philpott and Wilson-Raybould aren't lifelong Liberals, and some say that's the problem

So my take away from this article.
Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are not long-time Liberals
Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are not used to the corruption of the Liberal party
Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott have integrity to do the right thing, while the Liberals (actual "long time liberals" apparently) are content with circumventing the law to help big corporations who donate hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally to the Liberal party.
Way to make the Liberals look worse CBC lol.

What a load of absolute
tripe. "Philpott and Wilson-Raybould aren't lifelong Liberals, and some
say that's the problem" - no stupid, it's the solution. Our political
system is the mess it is because we put politicians in power! Canada
ought to give JT at least some credit for choosing these upstanding
women for service in his government. It's exposing how politics really
works in Ottawa.

@Grace Mann No. Our political
system is not in a mess and it has served us well since 1867. The job
of a politician, particularly one in government, is to seek the widest
consensus possible, and that could mean compromising some of your
values. If your the type of person that will never compromise your
values, then politics is not for you. You're better off as an activist
and join MiningWatch Canada, or Friends of the Earth, or the Canadian
Taxpayers Federation, or the Fraser Institute, etc.

@Marty Richards seek
consensus but not use a whip, cattle prod and bat to get it.. Maybe if
politicians were actually to vote their conscience rather then the party
line they would be respected...

Yesterday I predicted that it
would take to CBC less than 24 hours to start spinning this story down
in LPC favor and here we are.
Peter Kelly
@Jack Knox ... It's likely
coming around this way because the overall consensus appears to find
this isn't a game changer and Scheer is still seen as a larger threat to
Canada than any of this. I've listened to a number of radio call in
shows and this isn't flipping people over. CBC follows the trend. It's
what media should do rather than influence the public.. Which is what
American deregulated private media does deliberately do.. At least
Canada hasn't deregulated the media.

"And long-time Liberals will tell you now you're seeing the problem of that."
Would that mean lifelong liberals naturally go with the flow when it comes to corruption?

@Keith Barry it would seem that is exactly the case.
However, I think CBC has flubbed this attempt to spin the story.

Mark Stead
Oh CBC...how much for this
op-ed? Did Katie Telford ask for this one? The ministers simply
exercised integrity. Something that is completely foreign it seems to
the other Liberal ministers and MP's.
Peter Kelly
@Mark Stead -- I think she
exercised her commitment to friendship and set the nation aside. Still
to be determined is what was scandalous. Discussing the prudence of a
DPA (in which the defendant still may face ramifications for what has
yet to even be determined.. here or in Libya) and the failure of a
minister to adequately assess a situation and seek clarification within
caucus... but hey, lets set the world on fire and get some attention.

@Peter Kelly Methinks some of Trudeau's beloved peoplekind should learn when to clam up N'esy Pas?

'Life-long' liberals are not expected to think for themselves. They are to be seen, but not heard.

@David Peters It in their DNA
Jack Knox
Political spins like this are exactly the reason why people do not trust the CBC.
John Nelson
@Jack Knox The funny part is
that the CBC and the Liberal party think they can talk their way out of
this. The more they try and spin with stories like this, the deeper the
hole gets. Canadians aren't buying it CBC and Liberals. If either one
paid attention to Canadians, they would know this.
Ken Sonnenberg
@John Nelson Liberals breed ignorance or does ignorance breed liberals?
David Amos
@Jack Knox Oh So True
Cathy Bowslaugh
Ohhhhh that must be the reason. Eye roll.

Graham Green
What a lame excuse. They
aren't longtime Liberals so they aren't able to overlook the Liberals'
dodgy ethics? You're saying it would have been much better for them to
have thrown aside their principles for the good of the party? The CBC
needs to hitch their wagon to another party because this one's going
down
David Amos
@Graham Green Methinks CBC should check their mandate N'esy Pas?
SNC Lavalin affair: Philpott and Wilson-Raybould aren't lifelong Liberals, and some say that's the problem
Trudeau 'wanted the best and brightest from outside politics' for his cabinet, says Susan Delacourt
As the SNC-Lavalin affair prompts another cabinet resignation and intensifies scrutiny on political conduct, one commentator notes that the two women questioning political integrity aren't lifelong party politicians themselves.
"Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are not long-time Liberals. They were not working in the trenches back in the day," said Susan Delacourt, national columnist and Ottawa bureau chief with the Toronto Star.
Before entering federal politics, Wilson-Raybould was Crown prosecutor for British Columbia and an Indigenous leader in the province. Philpott was a physician and academic. Both were first elected in 2015, and appointed to the justice and health portfolios, respectively, in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's first cabinet.
Delacourt said putting them in prominent positions "sent a signal that Trudeau wanted the best and the brightest from outside the world of politics."
"This is not a government of long-time Liberals," she told The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.
"And long-time Liberals will tell you now you're seeing the problem of that."
The Current requested an interview with Philpott, but she was not available.
The prime minister refuted her testimony, saying "I completely disagree with the characterization of the former attorney general about these events."

How deep a political crisis is the SNC-Lavalin affair? | At Issue
In a matter of weeks, the
Liberal cabinet has lost two key ministers, and things don't seem to be
getting any better for Justin Trudeau and the PMO as the SNC-Lavalin
scandal deepens. So, what do we make of these cabinet losses? How deep a
political crisis is this? And what is the damage? The panel is here for
another special edition of At Issue. 9:36
