Sajjan will soon be gone, the latest resignation in a government that has lost more senior personnel than any other in the history of Westminster parliaments: a governor general, finance minister, attorney general, health minister, clerk of the privy council, principal secretary to the prime minister, two chiefs of the defense staff — one just outgoing and the other just incoming — and now the pandemic vaccine logistics chief.
Even more remarkable is the fact that the parade was not sparked by one massive scandal, but rather a series of enormous, but separate, scandals.
Who’s next? At the head of the queue is the prime minister’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, who in 2018 seemed determinedly incurious about the Vance allegations. Sajjan will go, in part, to save Telford.
