Re: LILLEY: Rebel MPs calling for Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal Party leader? Online, Oct. 12
A letter urging Justin Trudeau to step down is reportedly being circulated among his caucus, under a veil of secrecy.
My question is, why, after almost 10 years of following him around like trained seals, would the Liberal MPs think Canadians will somehow come to the conclusion, “Oh, now that he is gone, this is a great, well-run party, full of brilliant, selfless persons who have my back.”
Shake your heads, you have hit the iceberg, there are no life rafts, not even a chunk of plywood to cling to. And guess what? All I can do is smile.
While all of you MPs were partying on the upper decks, the rest of us taxpayers and commoners were getting tired of shovelling coal into the furnace, all the while being told that we were the problem, and we needed to shovel faster.

ONLY WAYNE LONG IS BRAVE
So, according to reports, there may be at least 20 Liberal MPs who want to oust Justin. So these 20 hid behind closed doors and signed a pledge to oust him. Only Wayne Long was brave enough to go public until Sean Casey joined him this week.
Here is a suggestion to the 20 or more: next time there is a non-confidence vote or a vote of any kind, go against the party and vote to defeat the government. Yes, it is radical, but somehow this may be the only way to say goodbye to Trudeau.
In an odd twist, the voters of your riding may reward you and re-elect you. One never knows.

NEED SLUSH FUND ANSWERS NOW
We need answers about the green slush fund now. We’re talking about hundreds of millions of tax dollars. The RCMP’s lame excuse that some obscure red tape stifles them is absolutely ridiculous. They should be demanding those unredacted relevant documents.
No wonder most of us have lost all trust in government and police to serve the common people. Instead, they stall and give those in power a free pass. Where is the accountability? It is so sickening and demoralizing.
