That'll cost billions every year. Unless he was lying, of course. No way man, I cannot believe that any politician in Canada would lie to me. It just cannot happen here in Canada. Quote

We need a real politically correct politician to run in Canada, not a bunch of yes men and women. And so far there does not seem to be any on the arisen yet. A Trump like person is needed to get the elite establishment off our backs, and give us back our freedom. When was the last time we heard a politician say anything against multiculturalism or political correctness? Never. And if one were to come along well he/she better be in good shape to be able to take on the attacks and insults from the elite, their media, and their politicians if he/she is going to try and get somewhere. The elite in America made the mistake of allowing Trump to be where he is today because they thought he would never make it but he did. And you can bet your sweet britches that the elite here in Canada will never allow a Trump type person to ever run for PM in Canada. Good luck to anyone who tries too. One better be squeaky clean and have said nothing that can be deemed to be politically incorrect in their past that the elite, media and politicians can nail and use against them. The reality is that the truth can set us free but try to expose the truth in Canada. A true exercise in futility. Quote

Needless to say I would pick him LAST, since he starts his campaign by doing the old hack politician trick of using immigration to appeal to ethnic voters. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/chris-alexander-announces-tory-leadership-bid-wants-canada-to-boost-immigration-to-400000-a-year Yup ,he lost my vote.

Harper could at least pander to the alt-right. Does supporting a carbon tax make someone too liberal? As opposed to the "conservative" solution of more regulations and bigger government. Quote

I guess you are one of those people who enjoy the elite and the lame duck media telling you how you are going to live your life, eh? Give me a Trump like politician anytime against the ones we have in Canada today. They could careless about you or me. I guess that is something you have not yet learned for yourself. But hey. Quote

Keep your cultures at home you are in Canada now. So, what you are saying is that you are quite happy to accept and not bothered by some of the barbaric practises that other cultures do to their women in Canada which we have all heard about in the past because you could careless?

Argus Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Erin O'Toole has officially announced he's entering the race. He seems head and shoulders above the rest of the field as far as I'm concerned. Former captain in the air force, where he was a navigator on helicopters, he left the military and became a lawyer before entering politics. His openness and likability were an immense contrast with that incompetent Fantino at Veterans Affairs when he was parachuted in to clean up the mess. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/erin-otoole-leadership-1.3804827 Edited October 14, 2016 by Argus Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

Probably rusty, from what I've read, but he had to be bilingual in order to be an officer in the military so presumably he can get it back with some tutoring.

SpankyMcFarland Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 O'Toole is a calming presence with appeal across party lines. You know he could handle a crisis. The only rival I see with similar qualities is Lisa Raitt. I thought her husband's diagnosis might have ruled her out. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Oh, I meant to mention it the other day. I still think Lisa Raitt will be the new leader. Quote

Her French will be the biggest hurdle for her campaign, if she can't improve it, or learn it, quickly she may not even make it too convention. Erin O'Toole also makes her candidacy tougher, I think many people would be happy to support either one of them. While O'Toole says his French is not great at the moment he had been fluent. If his French is strong and hers is not I think people will chose O'Toole over Leitch. Quote
cybercoma Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 I honestly think you're overestimating how much the Conservative base cares about a French leader. Quote

I don't think I am, people know it's needed to be electable. I'd say the people who likely wouldn't care about French are those that wouldn't support someone like Raitt who is seen as a Red Tory.
