Right of the bat, I have been liberal for FIVE decades. It is time for Justin to go before our party becomes one that is blind to the fact that his time has come and gone.

Yes, we have done a lot since the Justin has been leader. Canadians elected him to lead and for two cycles that was done exceptionally well. His legacy is secured in history.

The day that he lead with dividing and producing yet another level of seniors was a point to far. That alone was enough for a lot of seniors not to vote or worse support another party. Dividing seniors was a mistake, well meaning, however was one reason that put us in a second minority government.

All low income or moderate income seniors should have received the raise period. That should have been done on income alone.

I personally did not mind the agreement with the NDP. That deal put in place badly needed policy that helped low income Canadians. That deal has ended. The proposal for seniors from the Bloc does not make a lot sense practically or fiscally. However refusing to look at any other alternative smells of arrogance at the very least. Right now, our party has become stale, weak beholden to other parties and out of touch with what people need and deserve.

I can no longer support a leader who refuses to see his time has come and gone. Having Justin as leader will give us a train wreck and a conservative government. One worse than the Harper regime.

It may be to late to save the next election but perhaps we can even the playing field. It is time for Justin to have a walk in the snow and see what his father saw. It is time to rebuild our coalition of liberals under a new leader.
