Re: Liberal caucus and gun control

I haven't read into it, but if how you've characterized it is true then I'm disgusted with Trudeau. One of the biggest issues in our country is the intrusion of the PMO onto the roles of MPs. The Prime Minister is not elected as an individual to lead the government. He leads by way of the confidence of the House. The backbencher MPs ought to have a measure of independence from Prime Minister, the least of which because they need to hold him accountable to the party's values. More importantly, they need to be independent in their representation of their constituents interests. If he presses the issue, the rural MPs from the Liberal party ought to resign from the party en masse and form a new party, effectively threatening his position as prime minister on the next confidence motion.

Don't worry. This is the new open and transparent government that is going to empower individual MPs and parliament. They said so in their campaign and we know Liberals never lie.
