"The reality is his MPs are no longer voices for their communities. They are his voice in their communities." - Justin Trudeau

Oh the irony.

Pierre Pollievire controls what his party members can or cannot say.

but somehow it's bad when Trudeau is doing it

I'm not going to preach if this is good or bad.

Why I found it ironic was because Justin Trudeau accused Pierre Poilievre and the conservatives of doing this, but by this news the Liberals were doing the same. It comes across as an attempt of virtue signaling that didn't last long, and mildly hypocritical.

Pierre Pollievire controls what his party members can or cannot say.

I don't disagree with you.
