The problem with current conservatives is they do not believe in democracy. Less than 6 hours after democratically electing a new leader more Conservatives are attacking O'toole and seeing wexit as a better solution than supporting him. The conservative party is deeply divided both regionally and historically and on policy. The reformers will never compromise with the old PC rump of the party and neither are right wing enough for the social conservatives. And instead of looking in the mirror for solutions, they turn to blaming MSM for another display of Conservative catfighting. It is so sad! All I can say is Conservatives got what they deserve last night.

Erin O'toole? Expect more of the same with less name recognition. Erin who? Pete was looking forward to more fishing trips on the Sea King helicopters compliments the taxpayers. Oh well.
Derek Sloan is a right wing wacko with no chance. Make him leader and the CPC finishes behind the Rhinos and the Peoples party.
If the Wexit party runs candidates in the West and takes some votes from the CPC that will make sure the CPC stays in opposition for ever.
Hopefully, Lewis will end up with some influence on some issues but not on social issues. With a Masters of Environmental Studies from York University and a Law Degree perhaps she would be able to explain climate science to the the deniers and skeptics and how racism affects visible minorities!
Probably not going to change minds because many CPC types don't believe in science and academics, if they don't agree with their research results or political views. LOL
As long as the CPC continues to play to only its base, court social conservatives and ignore voters in the middle, they will be doomed to lose again even with how poorly Trudeau has performed.Last edited by chuckChuck; Aug 24, 2020, 07:20.

O’Toole will become PM after the next election if he realizes CBC and CTV are against him.

The most meaningful vote you can cast now is for your accountant as the country sinks into the mire. In a few yrs there will be clamoring from the same people to try and save it but that ship will have sailed.
In california they are going after a straight wealth tax. Not when you die, not when you sell something or have a high income, an estimate of your net worth and a percentage hacked right off that for the govt.
