Individuals from all corners of Canada stood in awe watching (or listening) to Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony to the House of Commons justice committee on February 27.
Many were shocked to hear about the alleged political interference from our prime minister in Canada's justice system. Hashtags of #TrudeauMustGo went viral.

In one instance he suggested that Wilson-Raybould's claims were untrue, stating that he was "definitely not in agreement" with the former minister's account and that his office has always acted "appropriately."
Trudeau didn't even review to the full testimony before making his statement. We should never hear our prime minister say he disagrees with something he hasn't fully heard or read.
