A big news story out of Ottawa on the morning of Monday, January 6th is that the leader of the federal Liberal Party and Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has announced he is resigning as leader and essentially stepping back from being Prime Minister.
Battle River – Crowfoot MP Damien Kurek shares his feelings on the resignation of the Prime Minister “Today, we see a coward and liar announce to the nation that he is terrified to face the people he is supposed to lead. Trudeau’s staying or going doesn’t matter; the entire Liberal Party are putting themselves and their own interests before their country.”
As for the other statement by Trudeau that parliament is to be prorogued for two months due to dysfunction, MP Kurek disagrees. “Not only did he announce his resignation, but Trudeau also announced that he is shutting down Parliament and committees for two months. He blames parliamentary dysfunction as the reason for prorogation but failed to mention that it is Liberal scandals causing the dysfunction, specifically the Liberal Government’s refusal to hand over unredacted documents to the RCMP related to the $400 million Green Slush Fund scandal.”
As for he and his party being ready for an election, Kurek notes they are ready. “We have seen this pattern since 2015, and Canadians have suffered the consequences. From attacks on energy, agriculture, and fundamental rights, Canadians are hurting after more than nine years of Liberal mismanagement. Regardless of who the leader of the Liberal Party is today or in the future, Canadians deserve better, and they deserve a choice. Common Sense Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre are ready to restore the promise of Canada.”
