NDP REALITY CHECK: What’s Justin Trudeau’s view on the backroom Sudbury deals?

“Mr. Speaker, the word ‘flip-flop’ gets overused sometimes, but in the case of the Liberal Party and Iraq, we have seen so many flip-flops, five of them actually, we have had to coin a new word, the ‘fifth-flop’.”

• Glenn Thibeault, House of Commons, October 8, 2014

Glenn Thibeault wasn’t so keen on Justin Trudeau and the Liberals just a few weeks before his backroom deal with Kathleen Wynne.

Now that Trudeau is meeting with Wynne in Ottawa, maybe he could explain a few things to us:

• What he thinks of government job offers being made to stop candidates from running?
• How he feels about a recent critic of his being offered a position in the provincial Liberal government?
• Does he think that what happened in Sudbury is a good model for “open nominations”?
• Will he and his office cooperate with an investigation ‎into the role they played in this sordid affair?

Canadians deserve better.
