‘In that moment, I knew he wanted me to lie.’ Jody Wilson-Raybould recalls a tension-filled meeting with Justin Trudeau
I think I was foreign and incomprehensible to him. After all, I was from the other side of the tracks. I was an Indigenous girl from a small fishing village – Cape Mudge, on the southern tip of Quadra Island just off Vancouver Island. I am Kwakwaka’wakw. The PM did not grow up in my neighbourhoods, with the kids I grew up with. None of his family went to residential schools. My childhood memories are closer to Comox and Cape Mudge than Rockcliffe. My political point of reference was the Big House, not the House of Commons.
F— her sentimentalism and her homespun exoticism.
She was happy to serve the trust-fund brat Justin until he screwed her over.
No working-class hero she.
That’s a myth.
See below.
Anonymous, I read your post.
Jody Wilson-Raybould looked out for herself. She is a racialist. Does one need further proof than the above paragraph and her commenting on the Coulton Boushie case? Her one token act of decency is too little, too late, especially considering that she refuses to torpedo the party that screwed her over.
Why was Richard Nixon dragged over the coals by the media?
Why was Bill Clinton impeached?
lies.
(not trying to pick a side between Jody or the #Crimeminister)
I like your new name there Criminister which fits well with the other crooks who are destroying the US…Heels Up Harris and Jobama.
The American government speeches are all about atrocities done to Muslims on this anniversary of 9/11.
Really pressing the American buttons to have massive unrest and riots.
The psychopaths are loose and coming for YOU!
The psychopaths are loose and coming for YOU!
They used to be more discreet in the old days, hiding their psycho-pathologies from everyone not in “the club”. And their psychotic impulses were more easily sated than now. It seems now that “the world is not enough”.
She described his sociopathy well. Despite her appointment as AG had inherent conflicts as she intended to use her position for apartheid management, she had integrity in standing up to the deceitful and entitled prick.
As Justice Minister shouldn’t she have picked a better choice of words, “My political point of reference was the Big House, not the House of Commons.”
Then again aren’t they one and the same. Both full of crooks!
I doubt that Jody Wilson-Raybould and I have much in common politically but I recognize qualities that I admire. One of the smallest, simplest words in the English language is often the most difficult to say. That word is “No”.
“No” is even more difficult to say when you’re standing against a person in authority or system that does or claims to have power over you. It this all sounds cliche but if you know who you are and have firm personal values about what is right and what is wrong then “No” becomes a lot easier to say. There’s always a price to pay but personal integrity, like good health, is priceless.
I have zero respect for corrupt people or organizations that abuse their authority to try to force others to abandon their conscience, values and integrity. Or, in this case, to also force you to engage in illegal activities. If you give in once then they can use that to blackmail you into anything and everything else. I think that’s one of the big reasons our country is such a mess right now. Bribes and blackmail are the real pandemic.
You are so right, LC!
Very much so. Well stated, LC. And just to add a thought, never being told “no” is part of the reason why the Criminister has behaved like a spoiled brat through his entire political career. Behaving like spoiled brats is what he had in common with the Kielburger thugs in the WE scandal. Like drawing to like.
And because the Criminister is a spoiled brat he’s reacting very badly to how the election and the voters seem to be turning against him. Hence his hysterical shrieking about “racism” and whatever other “ism” the scum can lay his hands on.
Yes, in my opinion too, Trudeau is a spoiled child and the personification of Affluenza
“Affluenza is a social condition that presents itself in privileged individuals who believe that they will not be held accountable for their actions because of their social position.
Individuals who suffer from affluenza fail to recognize the societal repercussions of their actions, which may cause mental or physical harm or anguish upon others.”
I know people who know and who’ve met him and/or worked (such as it was) with him over the years, both in Vancouver and back east. It’s a stunning indictment of the state of both politics and ‘journalism’ in Canada that such an arrogant, effete, corrupt person of such staggering degeneracy has attained the prime minister’s office.
But people knew this in 2013.
Has it taken six years for people to see it?
Our family always said that he inherited his mother’s brains as well as her looks (along with the looks of Fidel Castro). This was not a compliment
I, too, love the name “Crimeminister”
Aside from the obvious, she was hopelessly naive, and maybe still is.
It’s a trait that almost all Liberals inherently share. Naivety!
Yes, I know many Liberals and naivety is one of their foremost attributes. They almost believe that the person who is elevated to Leader of the LPC is somehow endowed by unknown powers with virtues and capabilities he never showed in his entire life.
Though JWR likes to portray herself as this naive “pollyanna”, she is /was anything but, growing up in a family that was very involved politically with FN versus Canada politics all her life. I believe she may have been dazzled by the handsome stud just as Rosemary Barton of CBC is, and believed everything he said because she wanted it to be true, like a teeny-bopper meeting her idol. As a Crown prosecutor in the DES of Vancouver, one would think she’d have become a lot more cynical than she makes herself out to be.
But on this issue of the SNC versus the A-G of Canada, I will gladly take her side and believe her version over the sociopathic Justin Trudeau. I hope her book brings him maximum embarrassment and demonstrates to the 34% of voters who still believe he is the best choice for PM, that such is not the case.
She should have released BEFORE the election.
There is calculation here.
The book was originally supposed to be released in October. I think maybe Trudeau knew how much it was gonna hurt him, so he called the election hoping the book would come out afterwards.
Shithead is what he is – a phony, lying sub-human with a turd on his shoulders.
How the Indian couldn’t perceive this years before beggar’s belief.
I don’t necessarily doubt a lot of what she wrote, but her view of Liberals is infantile.
Every single Liberal MP knows that Shithead lies and lies and lies and they accept it.
Every single Liberal MP needs to be literally thrown out of office and into the street.
Hopefully her book at least helps take out a few of the bastards.
Nine days and counting.
Agree!!!
How ironic … your PM appears completely free of white guilt? Yet he demands that I feel and act guilty for being white … and he even demands it from his Indian in the Cabinet.
“Indian in the cabinet.” Nice bit of wordplay there.
And here is the headline about this story at the Liberal Party (toronto division) bought and paid for,MSM crack whores over at Toronto City News……
“Trudeau didn’t want Wilson-Raybould to lie as SNC Lavalin affair re-emerges”
Can you freakin’ believe it !!!!!
Same headline at CTV.
Deny, disrupt, distract.
He is toast.
Kind of fun,to read the shock,horror and pain of a self blinded nitwit seeing the light..
She is a Liberal alright.
I am amazed she managed to say no to Justine,or was she “scorned” by discovering Justine only likes compliant servants?
Lisping” Tell me what I need to hear..for the Good of the party.”.
With Liberals,especially their assault style politicians,the only sure thing is that they lie.
So whatever reasons Judy gives,are least likely to have been her motivation.
“As always, from the first time I met him in Whitehorse in 2013, he reflected on the good we can do for the country. This is so Justin Trudeau. Taking control and setting the tone. Trying to remind everyone in the room – in this case me – who is in charge.”
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Oh God…
So did I.
IT’S CONTAGIOUS!!!
Yep!!
My mother, as a child, knew Wilson-Raybould’s grandfather. He owned a fishing boat, and employed non-aboriginals to support his business. My mother’s family were expatriates from England, not well off at all. My mother thought the Wilsons were very wealthy, comparatively. My uncle was very good friends with Wilson-Raybould’s uncle. He would come to dinner at my mother’s house. My mother remembers feeling ashamed when he would do so, thinking that this boy, who was very well-mannered, was accustomed to less modest surroundings.
My mother’s family first lived on the reserve near Comox when they arrived in Canada. I’m not sure how that had been arranged; it certainly wouldn’t be permitted today. The house they lived in had the only telephone, so they made the friendly acquaintance of almost everyone on the reserve. It was my impression, listening to family stories, that it had been a harmonious, if temporary, arrangement.
My mother was horrified to hear several interviews on CBC radio back in the 80s, when Wilson-Raybould’s father was ranting about how his ancestors ought to have killed all the Europeans when they arrived in North America.
My mother remembers this particular Wilson character as being a very spoiled (youngest) child. It was a large family, and the older siblings had been well brought up, to my mother’s recollection.
Cape Mudge? My grandfather likely chatted in Chinook Jargon with her great grandfather. Apparently that was a common language 125 years ago. Letters of my great-uncle into the 1960s used lots of Chinook Jargon expressions. So Wilson-Raybould’s grandfather was a hiyas tyee not some starving peasant.
Very interesting!
Comox was a very small fishing village 1900-1940. Everyone knew everyone else. Filberg’s were the richest, as owners of Comox Lumber. But as my family remembered it, there was no racial animosity, and despite the differences, not much social stratification back then. The children all played together and competed on the local sports teams. The Wilsons were certainly better dressed and better fed than many non-aboriginals in the village. My mother’s family grew their own food and hunted. Maybe they were more “first nations” in lifestyle than the Wilsons were, owning and operating a lucrative fishing business.
…Wilson-Raybould’s father was ranting about how his ancestors ought to have killed all the Europeans when they arrived in North America.
Good luck with that, Neolithic Siberians. Bring it now, if you want to roll the dice. Statues can’t fight back, but we can.
Her husband is not just her personal chauffeur, he’s a Cambridge PHD social anthropology and …. anyone,….. anyone? ? /
lobbyist for everything Indian.
Her father in law is a founder of the Fraser institute.
His obit is still on the internet.

The very fact that JWR grew up in the situation she did and was able to graduate with a law degree defies the odds for the vast majority of aboriginal Canadians. That speaks volumes about her character and intelligence right there. When I graduated in 1984 roughly 1% of aboriginal Canadians even graduated high school (it’s higher now but still way under 50% I believe). People by and large are molded by the families and communities that they experience growing up. I doubt her experiences in an isolated native community was anything like mine where I grew up in several major Western Canadian cities so I get that her politics are different and slanted towards the Federal Party that ran the programs her community relied on. In spite of different politics and perspectives I greatly admire that JWR did not cave into the huge amount of pressure her corrupt PM boss and his minions exerted on her daily. JWR could have just caved like every other Liberal and taken the easy dirty money. She did what many people (I dare say most people) no matter what political stripe would not do: say “NO!!!” to selling themselves out even if that meant her great paying job and political career. That she testified with the forceful blunt honesty she did in front of the whole Nation to call out Liberal corruption was all anyone could expect her to do. If Canada’s Media had even a fraction of JWR’s ethics PM Blackface would have been shamed into resigning right then and SNC’s criminal bribes to Mid-East Mass Murderers would have resulted in meaningful consequences (something that desperately needs to happen against these henhouse foxes in this country). JWR’s stand was strong and principled enough that even ex-Liberal Health Minister Jane Philpott pulled the cord on the corrupt Libs. Good on JWR for kicking PM Village Idiot hard right in his sock filled shorts!
JWR was a committed ideologue, that’s for sure. When she finally realized that the head commie wasn’t actually in it for the same racial motives she was she hit the brakes. JWR is corrupt, but in a different way than justine. JWR is corrupt in the way all cultural marxists are corrupt. Don’t ever for a second think that JWR is a decent human being.
The PM has an obvious problem with strong women, he never met one until he was about thirty.
Vilven John Raybold
She is no better than the POS Trudeau. She was quite happy to make her attempt to rig and twist the Jury system.
Just another SHITLIB commie. Elite Trash
My opinion is that she part of the grievance-grifter class, and is intentionally misrepresenting her background as being deprived. Her grandfather ran a successful business and was well respected by all in his day. The family had considerably more means than many non-aboriginals in their area.
Trudeau is a scion of the predator-parasite class of ruling elites.
Wilson-Raybould and Trudeau are very different, but both are dangerous to a productive, merit-based, rule of law society.
What you said.
My mother used to tell a story that was a minor legend in its day back in “old Comox”.
The village big mouth was down at the wharf talking to some strangers. The biggest and most impressive fishing boat in Comox belonged to Wilson-Raybould’s grandfather, Charlie Wilson. The village idiot was shooting his mouth off to these strangers, claiming the boat was his, and that he was rich. Unknown to the bigmouth, Charlie Wilson had been standing behind him all the time. “Excuse me, but I’d like to get on MY boat now, if you don’t mind,” said Wilson. The would-be bigshot was left standing with his mouth agape, as laughter erupted all around, and Charlie and crew waved farewell from the departing boat. The bigmouth couldn’t show his face in public for I don’t know how long.
Charlie’s youngest son, Bill the spoiled brat, became a lawyer, and he was also a hereditary chief and politician. I remember his radio interviews in the 80s. He was very canny in how to attract a lot of media attention. I think it was Mary Lou Finlay on the “As It Happens” radio show who was interviewing him on one occasion. “We should have killed you ALL!”, he shrieked over the airwaves. He would really get himself into a froth. And blame “the white man” for everything, including the diabetes that killed many of his family. At the time, we all thought this guy was off his rocker. My mother would say “The Wilsons were such decent, well mannered, respectable people…who is this lunatic?”
Lots of nasty comments here about JWR.
Go ahead …pile on her just like the loyal MSM is doing.
But her description of Trudeau and Butts as power-hungry slime balls is right on.
I commend her for her work, and the timing is perfect.
Apparently there’s some kind of purity test you have to pass before being allowed to reveal political corruption at the highest levels of government, business and media. Her account of what happened during the SNC controversy is far more believable than the story spun by the PMO and their complicit journalists. After all, who can forget – “They assured the attorney general that, if she changed her decision and was “nervous” about doing so, “we would, of course, line up all kinds of people to write op-eds saying that what she is doing is proper.””
Character assassination, rumor and gossip is another typical ploy by Trudeau and his inner circle of advisers and journalists. Why help them do this to deflect from their corruption.
Yup!
To those crapping on Jody, the fact is she is infinitely better person than that turdoo. She has ethics.
You do know the dumb Liberal Commie Shitlib Jody was tampering with the Jury system do you not? Do you understand how dangerous that is to our Freedom under English Common Law?
You do understand that you are doing the bought and paid for Legacy Media’s job for them? Tell us how it feels to be a running dog for Spawn.
@ Watcher:
Nope.
” She has ethics.”
Maybe now. She effing well didn’t have ’em when she ran as a Liberal and accepted a because-it’s-2015 portfolio.
@Jamie.
Perhaps I should have phrased it differently. Instead of ‘She has ethics” I should have said ‘She has more ethics than Turdoo(who has no ethics to speak off)’.
Happy now?
Jody, like Justin, worked hard to get where she is today. Like Justin, she didn’t get there by telling the truth.
I don’t know what took place at those meetings. All I do know is that Jody’s story is fiction.
My guess?
Justin did meet with her three times, to ask what she wanted to make this go away.
Jody, who showed up stinking of whiskey every time, made no serious proposal, instead expressing confidence that she would destroy him and his party, see if she didn’t (words to that effect, with a liberal sprinkling of obscenities and anti-white insults).
She figured she was indispensable to the Trudeau gang. She was not. Not even Justin is indispensable.
So as the fly on the wall tell us all that went on in those private meetings. Oh, and could you possibly disparage her actions and being a little more. How did you know she showed up “stinking of whisky”? Are you a Liberal?
I said this was my guess. I don’t actually know what took place and didn’t claim to.
I just know better than to believe a single word that comes out of the mouth of a Liberal, however publicly repentant.
Not one single assertion in your comment is verified or verifiable. You are just a Liberal shit throwing shill. Your comment is nonsense.
“My childhood memories are closer to Comox and Cape Mudge than Rockcliffe.”
Closer, but still not actually there, Jody, you phony. It was enough that you stuck it to Millennial Caligula–why do we have to be subjected to this shit?
Liberals are taking the lead in three major polls. Either this is a last ditch attempt to save the prince or Canadians are even dumber than I thought, and that’s saying something.
I was listening to a podcast the other day and the observation was made that there was now very little difference in substantive policy between the major parties of all European countries, and they included Canada. UK, France, Germany, etc. all the mainline parties were essentially the same. One commentor said globalism has taken over the political systems. It’s sort of like Henry Ford’s famous saying: “you can have any colour you like, as long as it’s black”.
This is hardly surprising. It’s been obvious for a very, very, long time now that the globalists and corporatists are running the political parties. After all, it’s almost impossible to buy out an entire citizenry, but you can buy out a political party quite easily if you have even a reasonably large fortune. Howard Hughes did it, spreading cash along both sides of the aisle to ensure he was left to do as he pleased. Now corporatists and globalists do the same thing, because when you own both sides of the aisle then the silly citizens can vote for whomever they want to and it won’t make one whit of difference. This approach is extremely cost effective because the purchased parties always send taxpayer money back to the purchasers because that’s part of the deal. This is why the establishment political class sees Bernier as absolutely toxic, because he hasn’t been bought and paid for; why would they when he’s campaigning against those who do the buying and paying of politicians?
slightly off topic, but…I was watching another youtuber who was reading the wikipage for Pfizer, which was described as essentially a criminal organization. They’ve paid out billions, yes BILLIONS in criminal penalities since at least the 70s for breaking laws having to do with drug testing and sundry other criminal outrages. But governments around the world give this corporation carte blanch legal immunity, and the equivalent of BILLIONs in patent monopolies and now actual BILLIONs in vaccine requisitions. And of course the FDA is a poster child for regulatory capture. Governments are forcing people to receive a drug from a company that has been proven to break laws repeatedly over many years for improprieties with respect to drug testing? And then lying about it? Beyond sick.
It’s called over sampling.
Better to expend your vitriol upon those who vote for the Liberal party. As long as they get some leftovers, they could give not a whit for those the Liberals take from.
What is written into posterity is the revelation that liberal supporters experience and realize that all along all they were just useful idiots.
Prior to these moments they are willing to pile on and follow the parade that takes pleasure in denouncing “those people”.
Then the moment comes when they get to be the other.
Then it dawns on them.
It’s all good until they get to experience it differently.
Just as a juxtaposition though.
Wasn’t Ezra’s last book on the Libranos banned by elections Canada?
His groping was publicized. His blackfacing was all over the news. He was convicted of ethics charges and he’s openly known as a crook.
Why do people think that JWR’s comments are finally going to do in PM Cox Zucker?
I think we’re hoping he and the Liberals get crushed, the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.
There are still many Liberals who think he walks on water, mostly women, and if enough doubt is sown maybe enough of them put their vote to O’Stool or Jughead (there really isn’t much difference).
Many immerse themselves in woke politics and think they understand poverty and historic injustice. In truth, they only understand a political theory that is untethered from reality.
Canaduh, bought and paid for by Tides Canaduh. Thats why turdeau would not fire anybody in the PMO and she had to go.
“I am Kwakwaka’wakw.”
Okey’dokey
“The good we can do the country”.
Grandfather was right;’Dear Lord .Save me from your do-gooders”.
We need a tax and attacks on every do-gooder who dares to stick their head up.
Stripping them of any wealth and then banishing them from civil society.
JWR was a dangerous Minister of Justice. She instructed prosecutors to go easy on FN criminals. She instituted reforms in Justice on her own without the consent of parliament or even the cabinet.
The alarm bells went off in the upper echelons of Justice and sr libranos wanted her gone. She was a menace with an agenda.
How to get rid of her was the problem and save face.
Along comes SNC. There’s no doubt in my mind the libranos manufactured a crisis and she was manipulated by it.
No question they had a problem with SNC but they took out 2 birds with one stone. Sure they got a little blow back but they fixed a problem for their friends at SNC and cleaned up Justice at the same time.
Ya gotta hand it to the conniving backroom libranos they are with scruples or conscience when it comes to getting what they want. Everyone is expendable in the name of the cause.
So JWR is pissed and is hoping to exact a little revenge on the Bong. She moved up the date of the book release by a month hoping it will damage his re-election chances.
It’s very difficult to unseat a librano incumbant PM.
I desperately hope I’m wrong, but I fully expect The Hair That Walks Like A Man™ to be Prime Minister on the morning of September 21st, possibly with a more-vulnerable minority, but still in the PMO nevertheless.
At least the UK’s just abandoned vaccine passports for now. Mebbe that’ll buy people some time before Canada goes full-on authoritarian.
abtrapper…..You have made quite a few assertions in your comment. Not one of which are backed up by fact. This is nothing but your own imagined nonsense. You have zero proof of any of this. You are here to slander her and therefore her book, and are most likely a Liberal shill. Anything to protect our Dear Leader Crimeminister eh?
I have made quite a few assertions and like JWR herself I’ve provided no backup evidence. Just my opinion based on what I’ve read and heard.
I have no reason to slander Ms Raybould or cast dispersion on her book. Her life and time in government is a matter of public record. Everything comes out eventually. As for your contention that I am a liberal shill, your new here aren’t you.
🙄
@ abtrapper:
“hoping it will damage his re-election chances.” – Well Jody deserves a big thumbs up for that. Trudoo needs to be derailed. The worse thing that can happen to this country is for that dickhead doofus to remain as PM.
It’s an age-old problem, someone works her way up the ladder by lying and crooked-thinking then finally on one occasion thinks straight and tells the truth (or is she?) and no one believes her. It’s much harder than interpreting words of the never truthful Crimeminister.
About the polls mentioned above.
For reasons my work cell gets lots of calls(because I answered one in 2015?)
Anyway. I am a 18-34 female that makes 75-100k per with a uni degree that voted NDP prev that is voting lib next time.
Approx a dozen calls last week.
Do they call back because I answer or because I answer liberal?
Just saying. Don’t trust polls.
And if anything happens to me……..please feed my dog. Tazer is a good boy.
Raybould, Trudeau… why would I pick a side there?
Couldn’t they -both- lose? That’d be nice.
Maybe I’ll pray for an asteroid.
Absolutely correct. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is NOT a mathematical truism, and to believe it is is dangerously foolish.
In this case, we had the equivalent of two mafia thugs quarrelling over the spoils. Spare me the moral posturing and self-righteousness. There is nothing particularly moral about a bruised ego.
Neither of them gives a damn about anything people on this website care about.
If their quarrel had broken out into a real Liberal Party civil war a la Chretien and Martin, then we would have had something to cheer on.
W.T.F. is a “kwakakwakawakakwakawak”? a tribe of DUCKS?
Ms. Pac-Man
