The liberal caucus is beholden to the PM/party brass for reelection in their riding. They have to serve their master until they are out of office. Any "independent thought" is released publicly afterwards (including ex generals of defense)

[@tonysopranosduck416]

Yes, Marc Garneau isn’t brave at all, he is simply selling a book and now it’s “safe and fiscally prudent” to tell the truth. Where was Mr. Garneau’s bravery and authenticity when he suddenly resigned from an active, sitting caucus? It was during yet another liberal scandal (sorry, the specific scandal escapes me as there has been dozens since 2015) and Garneau definitely knew something and chose to flee and stay silent instead of taking part and staying silent yet again. Every liberal in Trudeau’s regime has this filth on their hands. And Canadians will remember in 2025.
