Red Deer - Mountain View Conservative MP Earl Dreeshen has issued a statement on social media regarding Justin Trudeau’s decision to resign as prime minister and step down as leader of the Liberal Party.
In the Facebook post, Dreeshen says that nothing has changed and every Liberal MP in power and every potential Liberal leadership contender fighting for the top job helped Justin Trudeau break the country over the last nine years.
"So, given that Liberal MPs and leadership contenders unanimously supported everything Trudeau has done, why dump him now, right before an election?" questioned Dreeshen. "Their only objection is that he is no longer popular enough to win an election and keep them in power. They want to protect their pensions and paycheques by sweeping their hated leader under the rug months before an election to trick you, and then do it all over again."
Dreeshen is calling for an immediate election.
