I have interviewed NDPers, and Liberals, but few will now come forward to agree with anything that the Canadian government is pushing.

As a former 40-year resident of downtown Toronto, I meet many friends and former neighbours, and we always end up talking politics.

Many harbour a dislike for Pierre Poilievre, but cannot explain why.

When I counter with the facts proving that this Justin Trudeau government is totally incompetent, they are now at the boiling point where they agree.

If an election were to be held now, hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions, of Canadians would not vote Liberal again — and nor should they.

Maybe a few will hold their noses and vote Conservative, and some will sit on their hands and not vote at all.

But for the sake of Canada, I hope that they will do either, and not vote Liberal until Trudeau is tossed, and the Liberal Party is rebuilt as a responsible political party.

This party can no longer be a vehicle for one person’s vainglorious ego, masquerading as a socialist green party, leading Canada down the woke path to an impoverished and insignificant country that was once destined to be a prosperous player.

The Liberal Party of the 21st century needs to think of ways to protect freedom in a world where governments are threatening to control not only every action, but every choice that people make.

In a society where institutions and community and history are being diminished daily, the rehabilitated Liberal Party must foster the means to prevent this preening bureaucracy from reducing citizens to a flock of sheep.

In other words — liberty.

Canadians do not need a government that imposes draconian, outdated dogmatic policies — we do not need ministers telling us that his government is providing us with the “cold, hard, cash that we can rely upon.”

Canadians are not a dependent people relying on federal government handouts to every taxpayer, given in an attempt to bribe voters to re-elect it out of gratitude, leaving the country’s finances not much better than those of a bankrupt pot-peddler.

We do not need a government dictating that roads for trucks and cars are passe.

It is time that Canadians move on from this Kim Kardashian School of Government, where talent-starved selfie-posers have replaced men and women who can administer, in a serious and responsible manner, the laws and economic policies of our nation.

We all know that Trudeau wants to keep the jets and cavalcades and obsequious aides for as long as possible, but a functioning democracy demands renewal.

Bring on an election!
