The Trudeau Liberal infighting reaches new heights
To our fellow freedom-loving Canadian,
A 17th Trudeau Liberal MP just announced that he's QUITTING!
Francis Drouin, a Trudeau Liberal MP from Ontario, announced that he will NOT be running for re-election.
With 17 MPs now abandoning the Liberals, Trudeau has officially lost 11% OF HIS CAUCUS for the next election.
And the announcement comes only a week after Drouin had an inappropriate outburst in a parliamentary committee last week, calling two witnesses "full of sh*t."
YOU CAN TELL THE LIBERALS ARE GETTING DEMORALIZED
Which is why aside from fleeing the sinking ship in droves, the Liberals who're sticking around are spending their time fighting with each other.
One Liberal MP was complaining in the Toronto Star today that their party's strategy is "not working" and that "Freeland should definitely get moved."
Another Liberal MP called for MULTIPLE MINISTERS to be replaced.
And one MP even revealed who Trudeau is looking to shuffle out soon.
He wants to dump Chrystia Freeland. He wants to dump Melanie Joly. He wants to dump Steven Guilbeault.
In other words, Trudeau is realizing that Canadians are REJECTING his radical ministers.
We saw how that worked out in British Columbia. We CANNOT allow this to happen nationwide.
But of course, these radicals will not go down without a fight, so the Trudeau Liberal infighting continues.
When we launched our #ResignTrudeau campaign last year, we told you that we were switching strategies: Instead of just critiquing the Liberals, we were first and foremost going to DEMORALIZE THEM!
We did it by highlighting terrible Liberal polling numbers and advertising them where Liberal MPs work and live.
We did it by plastering Liberal MPs' ridings with posters highlighting their failures.
We did it by flooding Liberal MPs' inboxes with emails from their constituents calling for Trudeau to RESIGN!
Our goal was to make them turn on each other. Our plan worked.

QUESTIONS & COMMENTS
How many of those MPs were planning to collect their pension and retire from politics even if the Liberals were in chaos? In other words, is Noah’s message of Canada Proud’s past efforts overstated in their effectiveness? Would 17 Liberal MPs have lept over the sides of the sinking Liberal/NDP Titanic even if Canada Proud did not exist?
The real source of power is in the Deep State - the bowels of the Titantic government bureaucracy where the Big Rats live. How does Canada Proud plan to exterminate that infestation which lives on in spite of the re-arranging of the deck chairs every 4 years? Does anyone really believe that a Conservative Government will launched an extermination campaign after the next election?
I read that the Trudeau Liberals have added over 10,000 new positions to the federal bureaucracy. If 80% of these positions required union membership, does Canada Proud have a strategy to eliminate those 10,000 positions which are backed and defended by the powerful public sector labour unions?
Balanced budgets and public debt containment are important to every fiscally conservative Canadian. Special interest groups (SIGs) that are constantly lobbying the Federal government for more public money and regulatory privileges are the beneficiaries. How does Canada Proud’s claims of success serve to counter-balance the hegemonic forces of the SIGs?
Don’t get me wrong.
“Power to the people” is a slogan with deep cultural roots dating back to John Lennon in the 1970s.
Groups like Canada Proud promote the belief that ‘the people hold the real power in a democracy’. They suggest that all that is required to bring about real change is to inspire and organize “the people” to exercise their collective power. Their intentions are admirable, but their execution is weak and results insignificant when measured by the actual achievements (or lack thereof) that they achieve over time.
The problem, as I see it, is that “the people” is only an idea that does not reflect reality. It is a collective term which is meant to apply to millions of individual persons each of whom possess unique circumstances, interests and priorities.
Consider this reality: The official results tallied after every election are a more accurate reflection of the “will of the people” than the claims of the leaders of hundreds of individual freedom groups spread across this vast nation.
A better, more contemporary slogan in this Digital Age is “Power to the person”
I see Canadians as individuals.
The Digital Direct Democracy campaign that I am promoting under the Substack episode series “The Evolution of Democracy” is a recognition of the fact that “electoral democracy” - the rule of the majority - will always fail individual citizens who DON’T WANT what the “majority” wants.
Power to the PERSON
There is only one way for individual citizens to get what want, and don’t want, from their governments: to OPT-IN and to OPT-OUT of whatever that government makes available within reasonable limits. This is the core premise of Digital Direct Democracy.
Please spread the word to every freedom group that you know and send them a link to Episode #1 of Digital Direct Democracy - the first of the 10-episode Substack series under MY LIFE LENS.
