Just Watch Justin

Political party strategists are mystified by Justin Trudeau’s edict prohibiting anyone who is against abortion from running for the Liberal party in the next election.

Despite his assurances that the party will hold open nominations, Trudeau has served notice that prospective candidates will be screened and those who support the pro-life option will be prohibited from running.

Incumbent Liberal MPs such John McKay, who won Scarborough-Guildwood with 57.5% of the vote, would be exempt from the new rules.

“It is a shocking thing, but it is a democracy and democracy throws up some strange things at times,” McKay said.
