In unrelated news: Wilson-Raybould refuses to give up a part of the office suite she was assigned when she was a minister. Ha! Good on her. She deserves the best office on The Hill. Trudeau should be fetching her firewood for that fireplace I wish she had in her office.
This actually sticks with me a bit. While I admire her for the way she stood up to the party and bureaucratic minions, both in the fact that she did it and how she did it by essentially prosecuting her case in the committee hearings, she founded her argument on being a follower of rules, and here she wants to ignore one. Clearly, not a rule of the same magnitude or consequence, but House rules say an MP doesn't qualify for a six-office suite. Apparently it was blessed by an elder. So, have your new one blessed.
I admire her for her principles, particularly her belief in the rule of law, but there has always been a nagging feeling in the back of my head that she feels her cultural background, and her position in it (being descended for chiefs and elders) trumps all.
