BUTTS EXPERIENCED LAVSCAM DIFFERENTLY

Goldstein:  The Liberals say it’s no big deal Gerald Butts, who resigned on Feb. 18 as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s principal secretary at the height of the Lavscam scandal, is back in the Liberal fold.

Nor that Trudeau’s closest friend and top political adviser — whom Trudeau told the Liberal caucus after his 2015 election victory speaks for him — will be taking on a key role in the Oct. 21 election campaign.

Does that mean Trudeau and Co. won’t make it an issue if, say, Ontario Premier Doug Ford brings back his former chief of staff, Dean French, into the Progressive Conservative fold five months from now? Doubt it.
