NDP REALITY CHECK: Justin Trudeau didn’t stand up when it counted

Justin Trudeau has more excuses than answers on his support for Bill C-51:

• He said it was up to “everyone else” to oppose bill C-51 – while he and his Liberal MPs supported it in fear of political repercussion.
• March 5th 2015 http://www.cknw.com/2015/03/05/67186/
• He said he was too afraid Stephen Harper would make “political hay” out of any opposition to the bill.
• March 9th 2015 http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/03/09/liberals-are-supporting-b_n_6835700.html
• He would not “weigh in on the constitutionality of the anti-terror legislation” after legal experts raised serious concerns.

It’s no wonder that when it comes to taking on Stephen Harper and winning, many Canadians have decided Justin Trudeau isn’t up to the job.
