Heartbroken. Sadness. My father Terry Julian passed away yesterday a few months short of his 100th birthday. He was my hero! He was a teacher, school administrator, school board trustee, champion basketball coach and was inducted into the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame.
Why aren’t Conservative MPs denouncing the desecration of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Terry Fox Memorial? Why aren’t Conservative MPs condemning the vile use of Nazi & Confederate flags? Why aren’t Conservative MPs decrying the threats & abuse of journalists?

Disagreed with Bill Morneau on issues, but saw how hard-working he was & accessible to opposition Finance MPs. He’s had same treatment handed out 2 Jody Wilson-Raybould & Jane Philpott. Only one person is responsible for Trudeau’s ethical failures & that is Justin Trudeau.
