Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Conservative MP Alex Ruff, has released the following statement on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigning as the Liberal Leader and Prime Minister:
“Despite Prime Minister Trudeau announcing that he will resign as Liberal Leader and Prime Minister yesterday, nothing has really changed. When Canada needs leadership to deal with the threat of US President-Elect Trump’s 25% tariffs, the Prime Minister chose his party over the country.
“The reality is that a change at the top can not save this Liberal government from its own record. The same Liberal and NDP politicians who have finally called for the Prime Minister’s resignation supported the policies that have resulted in high food prices, the doubling of housing costs, a 50% increase in violent crime, and the confiscation of hunting rifles from law-abiding Canadians. Liberal politicians only demanded that Mr. Trudeau resign when it became clear they would lose their jobs after the next election.”
“The people of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound are telling me they want an election now. An election where Canadians can choose between Liberal-NDP politicians that have made life unaffordable or a Common-Sense Conservative government that will axe the tax to make life more affordable; build the homes to restore the dream of homeownership; fix the budget to stop the rampant inflation; and stop the crime so Canadians can once again feel safe in our streets.”
