He explains his reasoning in the video: https://www.ctvnews.ca/video/c2898587-power-play--housefather-to-stay-with-liberals I was absolutely gobsmacked when he stated that one of his reasons for staying with the Liberals was a desire to stay with a party that believed in fiscal responsibility. Trudeau has been the exact OPPOSITE of responsible since he was first elected in 2015! Trudeau actually declared during his 2015 campaign that "budgets balance themselves" (without human intervention apparently), pledged to run small deficits for a couple of years, then generate surpluses after that, all promises he broke shamelessly. And this was all BEFORE Covid struck and really opened the floodgates of government expenditure and civil service growth! Even now that we are past Covid, he's going on a major spending spree for the last year of his current mandate to try to woo back voters who are leaning very sharply to the Conservatives. To call Trudeau or his enabler Chrystia Freeland, the Finance Minister, fiscally responsible is to make a mockery of those words. Apparently, Trudeau persuaded Housefather that he - Housefather - would have a major national role in combatting anti-Semitism in the coming months. I'm going to be VERY surprised if a party that listens to its Muslim members a lot more than its secular or Jewish members, is going to make anything but a token effort in this regard. I'm very disappointed in Housefather for being finessed like this. -- Rhino
