Ms. Caesar-Chavannes, a first-term MP from the Toronto area, said she had told Mr. Trudeau in a phone call on Feb. 12 that she would be announcing her decision not to run again in the October election. She said Mr. Trudeau told her to wait, because Ms. Wilson-Raybould had quit cabinet that day. She felt that he was worried about “the optics of having two women of colour leaving,” Ms. Caesar-Chavannes said.
A source with the PMO who was not authorized to discuss details on the record said Mr. Trudeau was concerned that her decision would be associated with the SNC-Lavalin affair, but did not raise any concerns about race.
Ms. Caesar-Chavannes said she had told him that she hoped he could one day understand the impact that political life has had on her family. She said threats to her safety have been made against her in the past.
“He was yelling. He was yelling that I didn’t appreciate him, that he’d given me so much,” Ms. Caesar-Chavannes said.
And it’s not behind the paywall, either. Huh.
Oh heavens, losing a woman of colour…oh the optics and propaganda value LOST!
Call it what it is..this is simply craven Goebbels style propaganda calculation.
I can hardly wait for the newsreel propaganda ‘eye candy’ woman of colour in the new film entitled:
“Eviger Schwarzer!” (Eternally Black)
So he didn’t choose her for her intelligence or job competence; but chose her for her skin colour.
Some might call that racist…welcome to the twilight zone of “Liberal propaganda values”.
Oh just wow!

Oh my. If this continues he’ll soon run out of women of color and soon after women in general to fill the ministerial positions.
Because it is 2019!
One thing I noticed in Seymore Butts testimony is Butts saying he appointed such and such to cabinet. I don’t think justine had any input.
Anyways the turd might as well spam all the Lib back-benchers into cabinet and see what sticks.
“…Butts saying he appointed such and such to cabinet.” This is not surprising as we suspected all along that Butts was the puppet master and Trudeau the pretty dummy.
And on International Woman’s Day no less!
It ain’t over yet for avowed feminist sock boy, he’s going to be exposed by some very smart women.
They are not going to be used and cower in silence.
All of that could easily be suppressed with media support. Clearly Trudeau is going down and the media knows it so they are trying to win favour among the replacement. They did the same thing once Adscam came out. They were also friendly to Mulroney until it was clear he was on the way out.
Looks like promising to pay 600 million for supportive news doesn’t get you much if the vendor doesn’t believe you will be solvent when the invoice comes due.
I still remember very clearly when the Canadian media decided they would no longer fight for Paul Martin after his horrible ‘handling’ of the Liberal’s Adscam scandal put his political career on death’s door.
Watching the CBC’s coverage of Justin’s current scandal has echoes of those days, for me. Where the CBC is still definitely pro-Liberal, the anti-Trudeau messages they are ‘allowing’ to be aired would have been inconceivable a month ago. For example, CBC has had a few pundits, plus at least one CBC produced bit, denying and even ridiculing Trudeau’s claims that they were saving 9,000 jobs. Also, they repeatedly aired the most damning clip of JWR’s testimony against Trudeau himself.
He is most certainly not getting the aggressive roasting a Conservative in even less serious circumstances would, but neither is he receiving the hardcore protection of his shiny image he has been used to his entire public life.
This is little more than a he said/she said assertion with a dollop of ‘reliable sources’ thrown in, yet the Mop and Pail is running it. Are the knives of the left now coming out for Trudeau in a desperate bid to save the Liberal brand? More and more signs seem to be pointing that way.
Nah, the media outlets are just in the process of picking sides of the liberal party.
They still very much despise conservatives, but will feign support to get them to be their proxies (aka useful idiots).
Currently Lisa Raitt is fulfilling that role as the “right kind” of conservative to quote for those pundit panels, but not Michelle Rempel or Pierre Polivere.
This is a civil war not an awakening. What we are witnessing are less likely random acts of journalism and more likely internal warfare in the liberal fold.
C.O., I agree about the CBC in your post. Another thing, they have for along time have had Chantal Hebert, Andrew Coyne, and Paul Wells as their “At issue” panel. For the past years, since Trudeau’s victory, I never bothered to watch the panel, nor the CBC National. All three panelists normally were pro-Liberal, and hence the bias in the panel. Typical CBC bias, of course.
But Andrew Coyne, despite his bias, has long been a severe critic of government sleaze, and here he has been strongly anti-Justin Trudeau. And Paul Wells has certainly gone bonkers against the Liberals. Nobody can explain why that is. CBC News had the At Issues panel on at special occasions as LavScam news broke out. . And as such the panel has dished it out against the Trudeau. Given that Coyne and Wells have turned, the panel has been unexpectedly hostile. Very un-CBC like.
What good is a media panel where everyone agrees on everything. The cbc may like it but it has poor entertainment value.
I think Coyne is a bit affronted by the 600 million the libranos baited the media with. He’s out to prove his independence bona fides. I think.
Even further, David, CBCRadio ran the Caesar-Chavannes story as LEAD on their newscast this AM and they did not portray Trudeau in a very positive light. This is not at all the CBC of even a week ago.
Juxtaposition that to the previous big Trudeau scandal when the CBC ignored the Kokanee Groper story so long it had already gained international infamy before their followers even heard of it. As I stated yesterday, this turnabout absolutely reminds me of when the CBC first turned on the floundering Paul Martin when Adscam threatened the whole Liberal Party.
Anyways, I doubt any of us believes for a second that the CBC has at all given up it’s progressive/SJW/globalist and anti-Conservative ways. This looks suspiciously like a case of finding a way out the door for Justin with the least amount of damage to the Liberal brand.
Who will be the next Liberal to bury a dagger in Trudeau’s political back?
It’s just too big to ignore, so they’ll get it all out in the open for now and by the time the election rolls around, this will be “over and done with, old news from the past, we’ve moved on, we’re looking ahead, to the future now. Stop dwelling on the past, Justin is the future!”
It appears that the Globe and Mail, establishment mouthpiece, is leading the charge against Trudeau. One wonders what is going on in the Liberal Party? A Putsch … led by who or what faction? He’s damaged the economy enough maybe Power Corp and TD bank are moving? I certainly can’t think Chretien is happy about Chinese relations going down the tube.
That is what I was thinking. An internal Liberal civil war.
Robert and Ken, the Globe and Mail certainly has been, over the past decades, a mouthpiece for the Liberals. It is difficult to explain why they turned against the Liberals. Robert Fife has always been good at investigative, muckraking journalism. But the G&M has now assigned an entire team to writing about LavalinGate, and that’s bad news for the Liberals. I do not see it as an internal putsch against Justin Trudeau. Cabinet and the caucus eill dtand by him. He’s too strong and powerful.
Never thought I would hear the words strong and powerful used in connection with the Gropenfuehrer. Effete, dumbass, sock boy, soy boy, hypocrite, little potato, puppet, yes…..strong and powerful definitely non.
Re internal Liberal civil war. Beware the Ides of March. Wouldn’t it be poetic if some liberals struck Turdeau on March 15?
CBC to their hero Justin’s rescue. Yes the CBC is excited that the Liberal Party is starting to inch up in the polls again. And with the summer homosexual parades coming up, feminist Trudeau is sure to win the next election. He is so wonderful. And the media is pushing some nothing story about Scheer being asked a question regarding a Clinton foundation theory. Scheer is obviously a right wing nut job.
I give not a single fook. She wanted on the gravy train. She wanted to be a Liberal. Now she gets to enjoy what she asked for; GOOD AND HARD.
I’m not here to defend the nincompoop but she needs to toughen up a little. The Prime Minister yelled at her? Ohmygoodness! Grow some thicker skin snowflake.
What is galling is that after yelling at her, he gave a press conference telling everyone what a wonderful leader he is, always willing to listen to his MPs, so kind and compassionate and respectful. I think that’s what prompted her to send that tweet.
I don’t think she needs to toughen up, just go away like all Liberals.
I am almost certain that she knew the turds character all along, and is probably leaving because her riding of Whitby was only a two percent margin last election, previously a conservative landslide riding, and her chances are slim this time. Better to go out on your own terms and look for an appointment or party job than to be known as a one term loser elected on coattails.
My guess is that going public like this is doing the bidding of Librano backroom plotters who want to replace the Spawn before he either completely destroys the party or swings it so far to the fringe that it is no longer useful to the backroom. Be interesting to see how long it takes her to get a cushy job in the party, either federally or provincially.
FWIW, I don’t believe that all of this is a conspiracy, I think that the party and the media are all suddenly acting the same way out of self interest. Looking after their own futures with Justin Competant as a common detriment to said futures.
Will she be hired by SNC or BMO?
Reading the G&M comments it is stunning how Justin’s supporters continue to defend and attack anyone like Ms. Caesar-Chavannes who dares to criticize their hero. I have friends that no matter how disastrous Wynne made Ontario they still voted for her. Yet as we saw in Ontario Liberal voters finally got how their province was dying and along with it any benefit they were receiving from the Liberal largesse.
hence Doug Ford
Eh tu CC?
Liberals doing their best
Watch, listen, learn
David, I subscribe to the Globe, and comment a lot on their discussion boards at the bottom of the articles. When the first article first came out, and for about two weeks, the anti-Trudeau comments out-numbered the pro-Trudeau comments, by more than 15 to one. But the last two weeks, the Trudeau forces have rallied, and now the pro-Trudeau comments make up about 40% of all comments. I do not know if there had been an organized effort or not, but it has been funny. This is especially true, since the Globe muckraking effort here has been aggressive and ongoing.
A simple explanation is they edit their comments.
The G&M is a Liberal mouthpiece so it’s leading of the charge against Trudeau indicates to me an internal Putsch. The last thing Liberals want is to lose power after only one term!
Katie Telford making calls to editors for more favourable treatment in the comments sections?
Plus I imagine they are organizing a write in campaign by the party faithful to support Turdeau.
So he’s an entitled little rich bitch who’s never done an honest day’s work in his life. And he gets pissed off when someone challenges his authority. Surprised much?
Justin is being Stockwell Dayed. Seymour Butts was the point of friction in the liberal caucus and cabinet since everyone knows he is the the real PM even though he has never held political office so the liberal caucus is ‘firing’ Butts’ puppet and getting rid of Seymour at the same time. A win win for the liberals. As someone who hopes and dreams of an Alberta Independence I am kind of sad to see Trudope and Butts about to be turfed. They were the best thing for independence since the Boston Tea Party.
Which is also why Scheer is in no hurry to see him gone and replaced with someone who may fare better in the election.
Are we headed for another fuddle duddle moment?
The G&M has been scathing to the PM. They ran an editorial telling him to resign. I think he’s cooked but really the Liberals should have replaced him already. What are they waiting for? I guess they figure a fresh new face close to the election will be a blanker slate that everyone can project what they want onto.
I just hope for the bland pro-development centrist the Liberals used to adore. That would be the deathknell for Scheer and a boon to Bernier.
Yes yes of course we know you want libranos to win. No need to pretend otherwise.
Bear in mind that MP Celina is an intersectionalist crank – remember her mix-ups with Maxime Bernier? – so I don’t know how credible anything she says is. But if her testimony damages the MP Zoolander brand, it’s all good.
I confess to not taking much interest, but I can’t think of any strong or bright Liberal who could be the replacement for the Spawn whose crumbling Butts-led regime has surrounded their “leader” with identity politics Ministers regardless of qualifications. Is there anyone within the LPC who could successfully step up? Although, with the bar so low, anyone to look as good as or better than Scheer, May, or Singh could likely be picked randomly from the back bench. We’re so f…ed!
Mad Max is a leader without a Party while the Conservatives are a Party without a leader.
Scott Brison, please come back. Better yet Keith Martin. I’d be ecstatic.
Sheila Copps is available for you.
I think some are missing the main point here, it’s about the turd’s character. Public face is as phony as a 3 $ bill, the real McTurd comes out behind closed doors.
It is astonishing to now see comments left up at the CBC that would never have seen the light of day over the past 3 years. It’s twilight zone stuff and I’m thinking this is one of the reasons Sheila Copps is having a mental episode.
But would her tits stand up to a good Juthtin elbowing? There could be a reason he yelled at her instead.
Come on, we know she just experienced it differently from PM Socks.
The PMO is basically saying that already.

How stupid is the PMO? Have a look
http://warrenkinsella.com/2019/03/the-feminist-pmo-wouldnt-be-stupid-enough-to-use-female-liberal-mps-to-publish-personal-message-of-support-would-they/?
From Kinsella
The “feminist” PMO wouldn’t be stupid enough to force female Liberal MPs to publish identical “personal” messages of support, would they?
Well, actually, they would be that stupid. They are that stupid.
Spotted by my sharp-eyed pal Sean Craig: PMO told female Liberal MPs to post personal messages about what a swell feminist he is – presumably to offset this growing controversy. Except a couple of the MPs just did a cut and paste. Oops!
The next thing you know, they’ll be lining up all kinds of people to write op-eds!
Personally, I don’t appreciate Zoolander either.
The only reason she’s leaving is because Bernier spanked her publicly on a few occasions and she’s tired of being exposed for the shallow one-issue MP that she is.
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/maxime-bernier-says-fellow-mp-thinks-the-world-revolves-around-her-skin-colour/ar-AAxUVVq
She just has to realize that the dear leader has been under a lot of stress lately, his best buddy abandoned him, his girl Friday turned on him, other libs have probably hinted at him that they think he’s not doing a very good job, his BFF’s in Quebec are upset that he failed to flout the law for them and he’s just realized that everyone west of the Ontario hates him. Then he learned that all those trucks out in front of the parliament building were not a parade in his honor they were people that hoped he’d come out so that they could run over him. How can we blame him for getting angry at a woman in his government wanting to quit, after all he’s done everything he could do to prove that he’s a feminist and loves minorities more then his own citizens.
