On 19 October 2015 the Liberal Party of Canada won the general election and Justin Trudeau became Canada’s 23rd prime minister. During both the political campaign and the period after the election, Mr. Trudeau made many promises about ‘doing politics differently’. Two key claims in particular stood out: to make gender equality a key policy principle, and to make reconciliation with Indigenous peoples Canada’s most important relationship. As affirmation of the first commitment, Prime Minister Trudeau’s cabinet was the first in Canadian history to have a 50% female complement. As proof of the second commitment, he appointed Ms. Jody Wilson-Raybould as Minister of Justice and Attorney General. She was the first Indigenous person to be appointed to this position. Despite some challenges in moving the reconciliation agenda forward (particularly in the context of newly proposed pipelines crossing Indigenous territories and an Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women) by all appearances it seemed as if Prime Minister Trudeau and Ms. Wilson-Raybould had a solid working relationship. But, out of the blue, on 14 January 2019, in what was meant to be a minor cabinet reconfiguration caused by an unanticipated resignation, the Prime Minister shuffled Ms. Wilson-Raybould from Minister of Justice and Attorney General to Minister of Veterans Affairs. At the press conference it was obvious that Ms. Wilson-Raybould was not pleased with this decision. The speculation was that the rift was over differences of opinion on how to respond to Indigenous issues.

经济腐败、政治阴谋和法律道德:来自加拿大的记者报告

2015年10月19日加拿大自由党赢得了大选,贾斯汀特鲁多成为加拿大第23总理。在竞选期间和大选后的这段时间里,特鲁多先生都做出了许多关于“以不同方式做政治”的承诺。两个关键要求尤其突出:将性别平等作为一项关键的政策原则,并使与加拿大原住民的和解成为最重要的关系。作为对第一个承诺的肯定,特鲁多总理的内阁是加拿大历史上第一个女性比例达到50%的内阁。作为第二项承诺的证明,他任命乔迪·威尔逊-雷布尔德女士为司法部长兼总检察长。她是第一位被任命为该职位的土著人。尽管在推进和解议程方面存在一些挑战(特别是在新提议的穿越土著领土的管道和对失踪和被谋杀的土著妇女进行调查的背景下),从表面上看,似乎总理特鲁多和威尔逊-雷布尔德女士有一个坚实的工作关​​系。但是,出乎意料的是,在 2019 年 1 月 14 日,在意料之外的辞职导致内阁小规模重组中,首相将威尔逊-雷布尔德女士从司法部长兼总检察长改组为退伍军人事务部长。在新闻发布会上,Wilson-Raybould 女士显然对这个决定不满意。猜测是分歧在于如何回应土著问题的意见分歧。然而,在 2019 年 2 月 7 日,
