Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant isn’t impressed with Liberal trickery. She says shuffling a deck of jokers results in the same card being drawn.
The local member is referring to Monday’s announcement from Justin Trudeau that he will resign as Prime Minister once the Liberal Party has picked a new leader.
Gallant says proroguing- (or adjourning) Parliament is a shoddy effort to forestall momentum.
The Renfrew Nipissing Pembroke member says one-time Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland cannot honestly distance herself from her former boss.
Cheryl Gallant says the time for an election is now; Liberal gamesmanship will only make a bad situation worse.
