That would be fine if the book was to be an objective, historical approach. But how likely do you think that is, as opposed to a self-serving screed to push her own agenda?
Are we going to get an honest critique of the Liberal politicians with whom she worked and politicked? An exposé of things that should have been but weren’t, or that shouldn’t have been but were? People who should or shouldn’t have been successful, in either case to the detriment of the country?
Put simply, I don’t see that there could possibly be anything of value in this kind of first-person account.

She’s already got her next gig lined up, it has nothing to do with Canadian government, and she’s nearly 60. Who knows, maybe she’s hit her “fuck it” moment. Maybe not. I’m willing to wait until October to judge.

I have a lot more respect fory Jodie W-R’s integrity than Christian F’s.
That’s fair.
