i am absolutely baffled that jwr is not only still in caucus, but is actually running in 2019 as a liberal.

the incompetence in the pmo is just staggering.

what trudeau should do is go to her seat in the commons, hold her hand and escort her to the conservative party benches.

"here you go. these are your people. this is where you belong."

and, that is not merely hyperbole - it is ideological, as that is the essential crux of the matter at hand. the problem here is that she found herself unable to overpower her internalized conservative value systems, and mentally crossed the aisle as a result of it.

if she needs some help transporting her body to the same place that her brain exists in, the pmo should step in and help her out.

this shouldn't be an issue of resignation; it should be an issue of expulsion.

and, don't be shocked when trudeau ends up slaughtered by his own foolish naivete around making nice with the noble savages.
