Today, at the
National, I listened to former Liberal
MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes talking to
Andrew Chang about her new book ‘Can You
Hear Me Now’? And about her
expletive-laced discussion with Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau and how she felt
tokenized and marginalized in the last
four years during her time in politics
and why she decided to step down from
her position. Men, how dumb and
ungrateful can that be?
She said Prime
Minister Trudeau heard her loud and
clear over the phone in a fiery
conversation the pair had in February
2019, according to the book. That she
felt underused and undervalued as an MP
and parliamentary secretary and despite
reaching out to the Prime Minister’s
Office and the PM himself on numerous
occasions she seemingly got nowhere.
But wait a minute! In
the same interview with Andrew Chang,
she mentioned that and I quote “I was
smart, I was strategic and I was able to
help with policy and didn’t want to be a
token in his government…” meaning
Trudeau’s government. She went further
to say that “in my role with the Prime
Minister, the three international events
that I attended were the state visit to
Washington in which I only met Obama, I
had no other meetings or anything else
to do during that whole time, the
opening of the African American museum
in Washington again no other meetings
and the inauguration of President
Akufo-Addo in Ghana …”
The question is: is
meeting President Obama irrelevant? Is
the opening of the African American
museum, not a privilege? How many MPs
would have loved to just meet Obama or
be at the inauguration of President
Akufo-Addo of Ghana? Does Celina Caesar-Chavannes
know what more could have come her way
if she had shown a little bit of
patience, gratefulness and appreciation
of the privilege she got? Ungrateful
people have often suffered in the past,
but that trauma can create an idea in
them that they are entitled to an awful
lot from the world, and others. Little
wonder though that some people can’t
understand why they should have to be
thankful for the good things that come
their way, or for the things that other
people do for them.
Honestly, Celina
Caesar-Chavannes strikes me as someone
who, no matter how well things seem to
be going for her, and how many goals she
meet, targets she achieve, or things she
gets her hands on, will never be happy.
By insolence comes nothing but strife,
but with those who take advice is
wisdom. The crux of the matter was when
she said that the PM ranted at her and
when he finished she blurted out: “Motherf----r,
who the f--k do you think you are
speaking to?”
But then who are you!
Calling the Prime Minister the ‘M’ word
is not only appalling, but it is also
disheartening, shocking and ultimate
disrespect to the Office of the Prime
Minister. Celina Caesar-Chavannes is
lucky and privileged to be living in a
democracy otherwise her insult to the
Prime Minister would have been
punishable by up to a few years in
prison and fines. She is unquestionably
narcissistic as seen in the interview
with Andrew Chang when she started with
“I was smart, I was strategic and I was
able to help with policy…” only dump
people call themselves “smart “. On the
other hand, see how our Prime Minister
Trudeau answered her: he apologized on a
couple of occasions for how poorly the
conversation had gone. What a man! What
a leader!! Who recognizes Canada's
strength in its diversity and
exemplified it to the core. Who is on
top of things every day now at this time
of uncertainties of COVID-19 pandemic,
here “cometh the hour, cometh the man”.
Celina Caesar-Chavannes
is a fallen angel and a disservice to
her riding who has often fallen short
when it comes to speaking out although
she has suddenly realized her mistakes
and said that she misses politics and
might make a comeback. If she dares
attempt to run again, I and my family
will move to Whitby, Oshawa to campaign
against her because we should not stand
unappreciative people who take anything
they have for granted.
