Helped to choose Turner's cabinet? edit
"He then helped pick Turner’s cabinet once he won leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada" No citation required? He was Turner's executive assistant- that's modern speak for secretary - but he helped choose cabinet? 70.26.113.174 (talk) 16:57, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Misleading statement referencing Toronto Sun article edit
In the second paragraph of the "Emergencies Act Inquiry" section, there is the following statement:
"In another opinion column in the Toronto Sun, Brian Lilley noted that Rouleau had faced public allegations that he was Trudeau's uncle."
The statement includes a citation to this Toronto Sun article. The article, and the headline of the article itself, is a refutation of what I presume to have been a strange internet rumour that Justice Rouleau was related to Prime Minister Trudeau.
To give the benefit of the doubt to the original author, I'll assume the intent of the statement was to acknowledge the existence of this rumour, but the choice of citation and phrasing reads in such a way as to imply that the citation author was simply repeating or endorsing the rumour. The rumour also does not seem to have been remotely credible, more likely internet disinformation and nonsense, and is of questionable consequence to the section's subject.
