A party that abandons its values to gain seats doesn't actually hold those values, it merely performed them when convenient.

A party that abandons its values to gain seats doesn't actually hold those values, it merely performed them when convenient. This is an astonishing lack of judgement from Canada's #Liberal party, and from the man who wrote a book that he called 'Values'.
I believed that Canada needs strong, centrist-progressive governance more than ever. But a majority built by lowering the bar on human rights is not a mandate, it is an embarrassing compromise.

@cobaltsoulmonk We are seeing again and again the true meaning behind Carney's much-lauded speech from January in Davos.
His Canada is "taking down the sign" that says we believe in international law, as either a reality or an aspiration. And apparently he's also taking down any signs about individual rights and science-based decision making. Everything is pragmatic politics, negotiating to stay in power & keep the money flowing where he thinks it should go.
And yeah, Gladu has apparently now disavowed her previous statements. Because she's a very pragmatic politician, too.
