Rex Murphy: The treatment of Ms. Wilson-Raybould put a big, bold, strike-through line on the absolute core elements of the Trudeau brand. It crisscrossed so many cardinal Trudeau pretensions it was almost enough to tempt belief in trendy “intersectionality.” (Almost.)
It had been vowed that, in the sun-drenched days of a male-feminist Justin Trudeau administration, women would be treated better, more respectfully and above all fairer than in all the Neanderthal darkness that preceded it. Mr. Trudeau branded himself as the feminist-equity principle made flesh. Athena herself in pinstripes.
Skipping past the prelude of the recently surfaced groping allegations from before he was prime minister, Mr. Trudeau’s treatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould, far from being a milestone of modern male-feminist sensitivity, could have been hauled out of a script for Married with Children.
