Anyhow in her mind, the word &#8220;<em>liberals<\/em>&#8221; below can be replaced by any ruling political party at any particular time in history. The issue here is not the name of the party but rather its policies and their impact on peoples&#8217; lives: <em>&#8220;The liberals can rot our lives but we have no right to let it be known<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bambi bumps into Ms. Freeland in her town, she will greet her with a smile, warmly welcome her, thank her for her hard work (some is good), but she will express to her her STRONG disagreement with some federal policies, especially the so-called anti-racism (or all the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion blahblahbah). She will also ask about the government either incompetence or malice in using our own tax money to fund  radical wokes to teach us about racism when they spent their lives expressing hate against Qu\u00e9beckers and their language, against Jews, against even our Prime Minister and our country.
