We all know it was a false promise (we talked about it way back in the implications of votes before the election) but it just keeps coming up .... cannot be pro-life, must be Trudeau approved .....

Candidate pulls out of Liberal nomination fight, saying process is ‘neither open nor fair’
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...-open-nor-fair

A candidate pulled out of a Liberal nomination fight for a federal byelection in Ontario on Thursday, days after she said the race was set up to favour one of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s aides. Juanita Nathan issued a statement saying her efforts to appeal to the party’s leadership have fallen on deaf ears and that she won’t try for the nomination in the Toronto-area riding of Markham Thornhill.

“Given that the nomination process in Markham-Thornhill is neither open nor fair, I am unable to validate the process as it stands,” the statement said. “Therefore, I have no choice but to withdraw my candidacy.”
...
She said more than 2,000 people she has registered as Liberals are considered ineligible because the party retroactively set the registration cut-off date for Feb. 14 — the day before she started entering names into the system.

Ng’s campaign has said it learned of the deadline on Feb. 20, the same as everyone else, and also lost out on registering hundreds of supporters. Another candidate, Nadeem Qureshi, shared similar concerns with the Hill Times newspaper.

Trudeau was asked about the controversy earlier Thursday before Nathan’s announcement, suggesting conflicts are part of an open nomination progress.

“People will try and speculate and create conflicts, but ultimately I have a tremendous amount of faith in the local Liberal membership,” Trudeau told a B.C. news conference

1) setting a registration date in the past?
2) Trudeau in BC, he was just in Brampton ..... this guy is going to spend $1,000,000,000 just on his travel! Will probably go on vacation with the family again soon....
3) Trudope brushes it off and blames the victim .... yep a true LIEbral leader.

Gotta love politics, spin mastering, and throwing your own under the bus.
"People will try and speculate and create conflicts, but ultimately I have a tremendous amount of faith in the local Liberal membership,” Trudeau told a B.C. news conference"

Translation: If there's a problem, and it blows up. As slim shady said in the song

"wasn't me" its the local riding.

Liberals are known to overplay their power, influence and importance.
They have a Black Belt in hypocrisy and are justly named "backstairs" for a reason.

Where are all the liberal hypocrites on here that were damning Harper for "control freak" tactics? Surely they condemn this over reach of control and interference in free and fair politics, especially in their own party?
