Pretty pathetic Conservative lineup.

[15444]

See the latest predictions put McKay and O'Leary, neck and neck, for a leadership run. Browsed through the potential list and was incredibly disappointed. The only two who would get my vote are Wall (#1) or O'Leary (reluctant #2).

I can't believe Kellie Leitch (sp?) is even a potential contender. Up until recently, I had no idea if 'it' was male or female, and now I am leaning towards transvestite.

So much baggage with so many of them. McKay has lost my vote as he tried to save face by dropping out of the last election 'for family', but wants back in for leadership. Seems awfully quick 'family time' absence. Apparently his family is sick of him and want him gone back to Ottawa?

There is no conservative party, in Ottawa or provincially, any longer. So the leadership issue is a moot point.

Anyway, why would anyone one of any principle want to stand for office since the regressive, attack-dog Liberal element in the West has become so effective at slicing and dicing any other view that dares assert itself?

Oh yes, those great Liberal defenders of the public interest have become superbly adept at proclaiming broad liberties for all while butchering anyone who holds true conservative values.

Rather than hiding that inherent characteristic behind sunny ways, the current federal regime has mastered the art of shiny hypocrisy. Anyone who wants to run for a Liberal office does so at the cost of sacrificing their conscience, if they have any.

However necessary that is for "success" in achieving election, a true Conservative finds that hard to do.

Entitlement and socialism is now bred into the very fiber of this nation and conservatism is DEAD.

Well said Burnt....unfortunately. Maybe it can be turned around.

Kevin O Leary has built a company worth $4 billion, and he's not good enough for you. It's very obvious he knows how business works. What did Harper do in the real world before becoming a professional politician?
But of coarse he had some type of principles to many posters on here.

It's hard to understand what you Reformers want!!

Here's a question for you ff, where do you suppose the drama teacher would be today if his last name was Smith?

westerner candidate won't fly in the east period so if we want a conservative government we need a strong candidate from the east

Ya, I'm sure the Trudeau name helped Justin get elected, but Harper made it a lot easier for him to win with his very, very, poor election campaign. All you Con/Reformers on here also admitted it was poorly done. So nothing new, let's move on with it.


I asked a simple question as to why in the minds of the Con/Reformers on Agriville, Kelvin O Leary wasn't good enough to be the leader of the Conservatives. He knows business far better than what Harper ever knew and I don't think I can get reasonable argument other wise from any of you. But, Burnt all you could come back with is the Trudeau name issue. You like to accuse posters on here as to causing diversions and not answering your questions, and here we are again on that merry go around of yours.

Burnt, just give me honest answer to my question!!!!

[burnt]

I know very little about O'Leary so couldn't speak to his qualifications.

What is apparent though, based on the choices made here in Ontario where elections seem to be decided by the slavering urban populations, any true conservative is doomed as soon as they speak about trimming the fat and dumping needless civil service.

The spoiled, Liberal-voting masses will not tolerate (how ironic) anyone who will dole out the medicine the country needs.

So here is a question for you libs and dippers, how long will the country last with the failing economy causing a drastic drop in tax revenues while most of the "leadership" is promising to run larger deficits, like PM Kardashian is doing?

[15444]

I don't have a problem with O'Leary. In fact he is just what the country needs, like Trump in the US. Problem is that he is likely unelectable outside the Conservative circle. But could you imagine having an economics debate and watch O'Leary and Trudoughhead go against each other. The drama teacher would get slaughtered. People make the argument that O'Leary is just in it for himself - so is every other politician.

Love this little news article snippet from today:

'All 30 members of Trudeau's cabinet are attending the day-and-a half retreat, along with special guest Michael Barber, author of "How to Run a Government so that Citizens Benefit and Taxpayers Don't go Crazy."

Now typically, it is the leader of a country that makes pointed speeches to an assembly. How bad is it that someone has to be hired to dictate fiscal responsibility to these Liberal meatheads.

Really? did they disband I must have missed that news item.

Oh yes, those great Liberal defenders of the public interest have become superbly adept at proclaiming broad liberties for all while butchering anyone who holds true conservative values.

Must have missed that one too - where are the bodies and did they use machetes or guns?

Entitlement and socialism is now bred into the very fiber of this nation and conservatism is DEAD.

We changed the Government not the people. Just had a Conservative majority so did they ALL turn into socialists - farmers too?

westerner candidate won't fly in the east period so if we want a conservative government we need a strong candidate from the east

Seems like we just had a PM from the west.


You folks need to get a grip you are just making yourself look foolish.

Before you get too google eyed over Kevin O'Leary at least consider what the Report on Business wrote about him in 2012. Quite a different picture than what O'Leary paints of himself.

The conservatives had a dink and got bombed so want a bigger dink? O Leary is an ass

Come on conservatives get off your asses and get someone new but decent. Will have to be someone from Ontario or won't stand a chance. Hate to say it the last loser blew our chance for a long time.

[furrowtickler]

Riders did you see the last election - was still pretty *** in blue out west still , eastern Canada voted liberal is all - Harper did not bomb and wanted out me thinks

[Oliver88]

My guess is Jason Kenney will be the next leader.

The performance of PM Kardashian dealing with the economy will determine if a Liberal or Conservative wins the next federal election.

[perfecho]

Think this is one of the O'Leary articles...not all is at seems...
