i don't know the details of this case.

but, mccallum is just about the smartest person the liberals have available to them, and what he was no doubt trying to get across was that canada has a responsibility to help her fight the extradition request, which he is at least right about. you could say he got fired, but it sounds to me like he was aiming for it.

i've been clear that i like the old liberals better, and there's a little bit of it hidden in here.
