I’ve got to say this as a Catholic myself: it’s a relief to finally see parts of the Church calling out the performative, hollow, “Christian‑when-convenient” act that’s been passing for faith in public life. Real Christianity isn’t a costume, a slogan, or a shield for cruelty.

This is one of the most desperate attempts to prop up Poilievre yet. If speeches in the House actually counted as delivering for constituents, he’d have walked away with April’s election in Carleton—but he didn’t, because voters aren’t fooled by empty theatrics and mind‑numbing three‑word slogans.

Funny how this works, eh?!
I swear I don’t recall a Conservative MP sponsoring a similar petition when Leona Alleslev crossed from the Liberals to the Conservatives when Andrew Scheer was the leader. Why the sudden interest in preventing the practise now? 🙄
