Campaign Life Coalition joins former Liberal MPs in taking a stand against Justin Trudeau and his attack on Canadian freedoms

Toronto, Sept. 18, 2014 – This morning, seven former Liberal MPs published an open letter to Justin Trudeau, criticizing his assault on freedom of conscience, and his discrimination against Canadian MPs, candidates and future candidates, who uphold pro-life values. The former MPs also demand that the Liberal leader retract his “no choice, but pro-choice” position on future Liberal candidates. Campaign Life Coalition praises these former Liberal MPs and encourages others to do the same. 

“All MPs who believe in democracy should be as outspoken as these former MPs, against any leader who dictates how they ought to speak and vote if they wish to join a particular party” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). “Trudeau claims the Liberal Party is the party of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms but, as is pointed out in the letter, Section 2 guarantees, ‘freedom of conscience’ which includes ‘freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.’ Nowhere in the charter is there a so-called ‘right’ to kill pre-born human beings. His late father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau had assured us of that.”

“It is not just the MPs who should be concerned, but every voter in Canada, who should never accept the dictates of a would-be leader who demands that everyone conforms to his mistaken thought process,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition.

Campaign Life Coalition encourages all Liberal Party members to stop contributing financially to the party for as long as Justin Trudeau maintains his pro-abortion and anti-democratic position.
