I did a TV panel on Thursday night and of course we mulled the fallout from Julie Payette’s resignation. I can usually be counted on to relish a good Trudeau scandal, but this one doesn’t produce the usual thrill. The mistake was made in 2017, it was obvious pretty fast, and ignoring the problem which is definitely always an option in government almost worked, until it became impossible to ignore the appointee’s effect on a workplace and the people in it, who have as much right to respect as anyone. And then she walked away. It was weird and it’s done.
