Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Resigns

CONSORT, AB — Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien Kurek released the following statement on the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

“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.

“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.

“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.”
