Radio-Canada contacted the 17 named MPs several times; none of them responded to interview requests. Those whom Radio-Canada tried to approach in person refused to comment.

    I don’t know if I’m naive and this happens all the time, but it feels like an import of our neighbours base partisanship against ANYTHING the liberals propose based on it coming from them and not from the cons.

    Disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.

      Not really an import, this ha been the direction right-wing politics has been shifting since Harper. (And he’s still pulling Poilievre’s puppet strings.)

      I think that it might be the other way around.

      US politics have only relatively recently become so clearly cut along party lines, whereas in Canadian parliament votes in the house are almost always ‘whipped’ ie MPs are basically obligated by their party to vote the party line.
