Embattled independent MPs Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are leaving federal politics and forming a private detective agency, the pair announced on Monday.
The as-of-yet-unnamed agency will operate out of a dark, smoky office just a stone’s throw from Parliament Hill in Ottawa and will likely have gold-leaf signage on their hardwood door’s window.
“A silver sun burned through the sky like a huge magnifying glass when I made the decision to pull up stakes and say farewell to politics,” said Wilson-Raybould, who had already taken to wearing a tan trench coat and fedora at Monday’s press conference.
“I told Philly [Jane Philpott] that we should go in together and we did.”
Philpott, who sat in the shadows of the conference room where the announcement was made, only nodded in agreement but is already wearing a leather gun holster on her shoulder.
Once their two hardwood desks are delivered and set up so they face each other, the two said they’re going to take on their first case: the mystery of the federal government’s missing Indigenous rights framework.
