As I said, the Liberal membership has regularly and firmly passed policy affirming that we are a pro-choice party. This is who we are, and what we believe in. The leader didn't decide that. WE did. We the members. <br /><br />And no Leeky, I am advocating choice. Liberals have choosen to be a pro-choice party. Is it so crazy to say if you want to be a Liberal candidate, you should stand for Liberal values? I don't think it is. <br /><br />Nor should it be controversial. If you are pro-life, why would you want to stand for a party that has made abundantly clear pro-choice is a central tenet of what it believes in?<br />Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-49872559798162668702014-05-21T19:44:12.160-04:002014-05-21T19:44:12.160-04:00I believe that this attitude is exactly what is wr...I believe that this attitude is exactly what is wrong with Canadian politics.

The concept of "choice" should go past one mere issue. Additionally, It is easy to approve of Trudeau's statement because you agree with him<br /><br />But what type of precedent does this set within your Liberal Party? If Trudeau suddenly stated that all liberals had to attend a Catholic Church, would you blindly follow him down THAT road?<br /><br />Mr. Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520591510834267209noreply@blogger.com
