To the Editor:
On May 8, I was watching CTV news when I heard Justin Trudeau declare that the Liberal Party will not accept candidates who harbour pro life views. This view point did not surprise me. He supports abortion, same sex marriage, contraception, legalized marijuana, euthanasia, assisted suicide and the use of swear words.
Justin Trudeau, the so called "Catholic" politician, and other "so called" Christian political officials, continue to oppose the church's most important teaching on the sanctity of human life and sexuality.
Justin Trudeau is a disgrace to the Catholic Church and Canadians. His personal beliefs and his actions to not support pro life candidates in the Liberal party are not in alignment with the party itself of the Catholic Church.
Canada is a democratic country and individuals, pro life or pro choice, should be allowed to run, be elected and serve in parliament. It is unconstitutional and not democratic to disavow someone from being a part of a political party simply because they have an opposing opinion about a highly controversial topic.
I would recommend that people, both in and outside of the Liberal Party, not support Justin Trudeau's stance on not allowing people with different view points to be part of this political party.
