Why was embattled former Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault allowed to linger in the federal Liberal government as scandal after scandal emerged about his conduct?

The answer to this question can be found in the most recent issue that came to light. While it’s tempting to dismiss the discovery that Boissonnault falsely claimed Indigenous identity — and that a company he formerly co-owned claimed Indigenous ownership — simply as the latest plot twist in a scandal worthy of immortalization in a made-for-Netflix docudrama, the issue underscores a broader problem with the federal Liberal government.
