IS ANYONE ELSE CONFUSED...

In Any Form

Last month Justin Trudeau removed all Liberal senators from the party caucus and vowed to Canadians that "these senators will no longer be Liberal organizers, fundraisers, activists in any form."
As it turns out, former Liberal senators will no longer act as fundraisers for the LPC unless it's for the specific purpose of fundraising for the LPC:

Last Saturday (Chrietien appointee) Sen. Mobina Jaffer was the featured speaker at a fundraising potluck dinner in Trenton, Ont., hosted by the Bay of Quinte Federal Liberal Association.

John Brisbois, the president of the local riding association:

"To (the Liberal Party of Canada's) credit, they realized the motivation for people coming was above political partisanship and would be another reason women would be marginalized if we removed her."

LPC spokesperson Andrée-Lyne Hallé:

"This is a transition period for senators who no longer are in the Liberal caucus, and riding associations are free to make their choices of who speaks to their members."
