1/ Today, after a week of heavy preparation, I was going to launch a defence of Trudeau's war on workers in a key Canadian industry. Instead, a CPC caucus member did this, and this is what will lead the news for a week. Liberals are rejoicing! Thread. 
2/ Prices of basic goods are out of control. We have a major labour AND unemployment crisis. Canada's deficit is out of control. There will always be differences in a party - but this.....we will never overcome the Liberals if we're in open public warfare with each other.
3/ Canada needs stability right now - we are a nation in crisis. As leaders in the official opposition, we MUST be focused on holding the Libs to account. We can vigorously debate what that looks like internally, and doing so we unite as a team and hold ourselves to account too.
4/I'm so profoundly disappointed in this. Every Canadian will be focused on this for the next month instead of anything we do in the House. I ask my colleague to withdrawal this petition, have it out in caucus instead, and for the good of Canada let us MPs get back to work.
