The most encouraging signs have been in the growing restlessness in Conservative benches. Brent Rathgebers decision to quit the Conservative ranks to stand up for his beliefs (even though he and I will not agree on all issues) is enormously brave and a very positive sign. He and I do agree that parliamentarians need to represent their constituents and that democracy must be restored. So too does Mark Warawa (MP Langley B.C.) deserve credit for making a public plea to the Speaker to protect the rights of free speech for Conservative MPs. The fact that he was demoted, losing his committee chairmanship, and will likely continue to be shunned and demoted speaks to how brave that decision really was.
