You're reaching really hard. The PPC was a non-factor.

Demonizing any platform that seeks to LESSEN immigration in any way, is the new tactic by globalists who want to knock down borders and sovereignty! Trudeau, and the other socialist-leaning parties are blue-blooded globalists! They have too, all the mainstream Canadian media on their side - some, most likely even in their pocket! Sadly, majority of Canadians have been brainwashed and "programmed" - thanks largely to our media - and had lost the capability to think practically - heck, they don't think for themselves anymore! Common sense, is alien to them! True conservatism is dead in Canada. The only chance of its revival would be for Canada to really hit rock bottom - not unlike Venezuela! "Flooding" rich and once powerful western nations, is a way to weaken them! Just look at European nations!

Personally I want him gone. He has failed to make any kind of connection with Canadians. Despite Trudeau having a very low approval rating, despite his lies and ridiculous screwups with costumes, despite his corruption over SNC Lavalin, Mr. Dressup still polled higher than Scheer among Canadians. Scheer failed to demonstrate strength or self-confidence. He was unable to defend his Socon views, or deal with any other hard questions without looking like a deer in the headlights and squirming all over the place to avoid answering straight questions. He also moved the party to the Left, abandoning virtually all conservative views and values because, evidently, he had no idea how to defend them, much less explain them and persuade others to his views. The platform itself was a mishmash of vote-buying mini-policies with no coherent vision. There was nothing of substance beyond the energy corridor, and no specifics on how to grow Canada's economy, or how to address longstanding issues Canadians care about like Health Care. When he did speak about things, like the border mess, he offered up only vague promises with no specifics. Even conservatives have failed to warm to him. I've seen virtually zero enthusiasm for the guy (or for the platform) among conservatives. Time for him to move aside.

I admit to not being a history student. I can't say much for olden times prime ministers. But I think I can say without reservation that Justin Trudeau is more divisive than any PM we've had since at least Mackenzie King. He constantly sets one group against another, be it men against women, secularists against Christians, black against white, natives against 'settlers', Central Canada against the West, urban against rural, Quebec against TROC, Immigrants and 'old stock', and most definitely, progressives and everyone else who doesn't accept their bullshit beliefs. I don't think there's any question this country is more divided than it was when he took power, and that hostility and suspicions between and among all these groups are greater than they were, and will unquestionably get worse should he be re-elected, as seems likely. For someone who spends so much time emoting on his personal views and feelings, Justin Trudeau seems to have astoundingly little sense of himself. How else to explain his confession that his great regret as prime minister is the divisiveness that has split the country into warring regions since he took office four years ago. “One of the things we were most focused on in 2015, after 10 years of a government that played regional politics, pitting Canadians against Canadians, was to bring Canadians together … Yet we find ourselves more polarized, more divided in this election than in 2015,” he said. “I wonder how, or if, I could have made sure we were pulling Canadians together?” Well, yes, sure … you certainly could have worked to ensure we were pulling together. But that would have required abandoning the strategy that treats all viewpoints that conflict with Liberal orthodoxy as the work of inferiors, idiots, malcontents or the uninformed. It would have meant suggesting to chief guru Gerald Butts that he stop tweeting raging insults about everyone holding beliefs that aren’t in line with Liberal policy pronouncements. It would have meant accepting that Canadians can hold a wide variety of opinions without being scorned as unCanadian. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2019/kelly-mcparland-trudeau-is-blind-to-his-own-divisive-politics

Like I said before, Canada went into syria to stop isis. We did. Now trump has left to allow them to escape and reform, allies to burn and russia to take over. We do our part and NATO was satisfied, but america is not. So is america NATO now? So america wont stand against the commies huh? Figures.

Doug Ford really is a great big, spineless pussy who is doomed to be a one-term premier and accomplish absolutely nothing. Every time he proposes a cut and someone complains he bursts into tears and then apologizes and changes his mind. The latest - class sizes. His government has retreated on increasing class sizes. Which buys them what exactly? The teachers union hates his guts. And three years from now they will still do everything they possibly can to defeat his government. and when he faces the electorate with a big deficit because he didn't have the balls to make any cutbacks conservatives are going to stay away from the polls in droves.

I realize he's the same age as Scheer but he looks young. And he certainly isn't going to give anyone the warm fuzzies! Still, I would support him. He can at least defend his positions well. I think that one of the reasons they voted in Scheer was a misguided belief that someone so placid and smiley would defeat the ability of the Liberals and their media allies to portray the conservatives as mean and nasty people who had a dangerous 'hidden agenda'. But they did it anyway, and did it quite easily, because Scheer has a socon background and wouldn't answer a straight question on almost anything.

I don't see it that way, I see it as Scheer failing to get his message across, the last week in the campaign Scheer was not even close to the top of his game, there was issue with his message, which according to media was out right lies, more assumptions than anything...and they called him out on it I mean being liberal funded what did he think they would do....Thats not conservative style, should have kept a clean campaign, stuck to facts... I think PPC party was attacked by all sides, with perhaps one exception the Greens...painted the alt right , because of a few candidates with questionable characters.. no where near the numbers of liberal with questionable characters...like Justin, and his number 2 man... , nothing is said that the liberal party lost 6 candidates due to racist or homophobic remarks, and other parties also had candidates that made remarks that did nothing.. but once again Canadians are programed to see Nazi flags and goose stepping troops when every the right is mentioned.... I think the right needs more choices, thinking that PPC was hard core right is laughable...it was painted that way because of special interest groups where afraid of some of the PPC platform.... I think Scheer needs to step down or step up....

Pay no attention to MH.

More info here. Only 3 estheticians were awarded compensation of $2,000 but I heard on the radio last night that it was originally more than that but they reduced it because of the online harassment she/he got... really. She/he has two more cases but they are on hold until she pays the estheticians. https://www.thepostmillennial.com/breaking-the-lawyer-who-took-down-jessica-yaniv-explains-the-case/

Michael, I joined this forum to learn more about politics and to have discussions to gain more understanding. None of your questions are relevant. Also you can Google Toronto's Most Wanted

The PPC ran a candidate in every riding just months after starting to organize, and got 270,000 votes. Reform didn't get that many votes its first election. The Greens needed EIGHT elections to garner that much support. The PPC have 40,000 members and will now have time to properly organize so they can vet future candidates and develop the kind of an organization they lacked this time around. Furthermore, the reason why the Left hates them so much, their desire to cut immigration and implement value tests on immigrants, remain widely popular. The smug cheering from the Left about how it's all over is more than slightly premature.

Scheer is not Harper. He shows none of Harper's strength or political savvy.

I"m very much afraid he will try to stay on. There is a mandatory leadership review six months after an election loss, and I think he and his allies will try to suggest that because he picked up seats and has only had two years he should be given a second chance.

It's time to have new leader! With all the scandal attached to Trudeau, the Conservative party should be sweeping a majority with no problem - and yet, it was so excruciatingly painful watching Scheer in his campaign! I ended up changing the channel when he's on! All his strategists should be booted out! I'm not surprised he had a hard time. He came out looking so weak! There's no fire in that man's belly!
