Dear Editor:
Dear Liberal, I need to know, what’s your line in the sand to turn against the corrupt Liberals and their failures of the last decade?
We know it’s wasn’t the multiple blackface scandals. We know it’s not corruption. Not giving millions to a terrorist.
Not the WE scandal. Not ethics breaches. Not sexism towards subordinates. Not general incompetence. Not bypassing parliament process multiple times.
It wasn’t snubbing Indigenous people to go surfing. Not breaking promises about clean water. Not breaking promises about planting trees.
It’s not more tax. It’s not bullying and name calling. It’s not illegally invoking war measures on protesters. Not millions spent on ventilators that were never delivered and on vaccines that weren’t used and were destroyed.
It’s not yet more tax, or taxing that tax. It’s not the ArriveCan scandal. It wasn’t spending $50,000 a month in alcohol. It’s not overpriced lavish personal vacations.
It’s not even more ethics breaches. It’s not censoring what we can say and read. Not spending $12 million to hire New Zealand sharpshooters with banned rifles for a deer cull. Not an $8-million barn at our expense.
It wasn’t personally inviting and honouring the “heroics” of a Nazi war criminal. Not the SNC investigation cover up. Not accepting vacation bribes. Not the Flair Airlines scandal. Not lying about cell phone bills. Not the “other Randy” scandal. Not the catch-and-release stance on crime.
It hasn’t been the carbon scam.The NSICOP report. The Freeland step down debacle. The Green slush fund scandal.
It’s not completely trampling the charter of rights and freedoms.
Wasn’t going against their word to not prorogue parliament. Wasn’t replacing their leader at the 11th hour just so they could copy Conservative policies.
It wasn’t Carney lying about moving his company to the states. It wasn’t passing around divisive buttons at Conservative rallies.
Not promising gun laws that have been in effect since the 1980s.
And it’s sure as hell was not causing the greatest divide in our country’s history … What then?
Before you scream “that was Trudeau,” keep in mind 87% of Carney’s cabinet is unchanged.
