If Trudeau hears them out — and his backbench musters up the courage to speak, MPs predict “sparks will fly” when the Liberal caucus meets next week.

"Why should I listen to you folks?," said another MP mimicking Trudeau. "You're all know-nothings and coattail candidates."

"People are really disillusioned," offered another MP. "Really, really, disillusioned," said a fourth.

Some MPs said that over their entire careers, the PMO had never spent as much time listening to them as I had in my 30-minute calls with them.

Wow... Just... Yikes...

I mean, a lot of MP's probably feel like the walls are closing in on them as they gaze upon the polls. I imagine caucus meetings are getting stressful.

Regardless, really good column—worth a read.
