Lightbound taking shots at Trudeau:

“When it comes to the broader demonstrations we've seen in Ottawa and Quebec City and all across the country, I will abstain from the kind of generalizations that were heard these last few days,”, Quebec Liberal MP Joël Lightbound said.

LIGHTBOUND: “I’ve seen on Radio-Canada, an interview with what seemed to be a very kind grandmother who demonstrated for her grandkids. She looked & sounded nothing like white supremacists nor did the black, Sikh, indigenous Canadians I saw demonstrating on my way to parliament"

Taking aim at Trudeau again:

"I have enough respect for my fellow Canadians, not to engage in these easy absurd labels.”

Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said at the beginning of his remarks that it is time for the protesters in Ottawa to leave and suggest they relocate somewhere else.

"It is time to stop dividing Canadians", he added.

He says he is not the only one feeling like this in his ranks.

Says during the last election campaign he began to feel uncomfortable with his party's (Liberal) tone and rhetoric.

"The division has gotten to a point it needs to stop."

Mackenzie Gray from CTV (Recently blocked me), says Lightbound sounds like Conservative interim leader Bergenand asks "why should Justin Trudeau keep you in the Liberal caucus?"

These journalists really are propagandists for Trudeau. I stand by my criticisms of Mackenzie Gray that got me blocked.

"I'm hopeful as well that there is room in the Liberal party for dissent", Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said.

"Not everyone can earn a living on a Macbook at a cottage," Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said.

If the party knows what's good for them, they won't kick this guy out.
