4.5
"Rather than letting the authority be the truth, let the truth be the authority"
I listened to this as an audiobook, which I highly recommend as the author narrated herself.
Jody Wilson-Raybould has done an excellent job of reflecting on her time as a federal liberal politician in Canada. I personally have been really struggling with partisan politics recently and how problematic I believe them to be. This book certainly reinforced my opinion that the system has inherent major flaws that need to be addressed. It also reinforced my negative opinion of my Prime Minister, but I can't say I'm a fan of many politicians to begin with.
Although I do not agree with her on everything, I have the utmost respect for this woman and her opinions. There is absolutely no denying her strength, integrity, and genuine desire to do what is best for her communities and the world. It is an absolute shame she was the minority when it came to our elected representatives and their motives. I look forward to reading her next books, following where her career goes next, and hearing her perspective on future issues.
