PRINCE GEORGE – Canadians were glued to the T.V. yesterday, listening as former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould leveled alarming allegations of policial interference in a criminal investigation of SNC-Lavallin by the federal government. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later denied what she told the Justice Committee. It has divided Liberal-faithful. 

“Listening to her testimony, yesterday, I believe her,” says Tracy Calogheros, who ran federally for the Liberals in 2015.

Even the Conservative MP  for Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies, Bob Zimmer, had praise for Wilson-Raybould.

“It took a lot of courage. I was sitting about six feet away when she was making her statement,” says Zimmer. “I could see that it was a stressful situation for her. She didn’t buckle, though, she gave her full statement without cracking. I give her credit for that.”
