This is a man who can't accept his defeat; that the people voted against him. This is not a man of humility or appreciation ... he wouldn't have stopped until someone "resigned" their seat!
It is with humility and appreciation that I have accepted Damien Kurek’s offer to resign his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot so that I can work to earn the support of citizens there to serve them in Parliament.
Damien’s selfless act to step aside temporarily as a Member of Parliament shows his commitment to change and restoring Canada’s promise.
I will work to earn the trust of the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot and I will continue to hold the Liberal minority government to account until the next federal election, when we will bring real change to all Canadians.
April 6, 2018 is a day the Humboldt Broncos organization, along with the rest of the hockey world, will never forget.
Today and every day, we remember and pay tribute to all 29.
Always in our thoughts - we play for them. 💚💛

Dear Canadians,
Please pay attention to what is about to happen in the US. Please do NOT let it happen here. Do NOT let PP and the Conservatives get into power. We cannot let Canada become like them.
Sincerely,
A Canadian 🇨🇦❤️

The only positive is he can't run for a third term
