Topaz Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 In my view, the Tories need someone new and wasn't part of Harper's party, surly there IS someone like that out there.

Harper, Harper, Harper! img=http://www.ekospolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/20160422_slide7.png In my view, the Tories need someone new and wasn't part of Harper's party, surly there IS someone like that out there. I like the strong support we're seeing for "Other", as that would be my choice based on that list. It would be nice to see an intelligent, evidence based, less social and ideological CPC. I think someone like Michael Chong could deliver that kind of respectable change.
Derek 2.0 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Andrew Scheer considering a run. I hope he does, as it stands, a Scheer or a Rempel would be my favorites......they're both young and intelligent, and could be viable to run through two election cycles if required (to dethrone Trudeau).
cybercoma Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Posted April 28, 2016 It would be great if the Speaker with the least integrity in Canadian history became leader of the CPC. He'd be a fitting captain of that ship.
Newfoundlander Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 It would be great if the Speaker with the least integrity in Canadian history became leader of the CPC. He'd be a fitting captain of that ship. He has the least integrity?
Derek 2.0 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 He has the least integrity? Yeah, thats what I was wondering.....how a thirty something Speaker of the House had the least "integrity in all of Canadian history"
The_Squid Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Kellie Leitch vows to re-criminalize marijuana if she becomes PM. http://www.torontosun.com/2016/04/27/conservatives-need-to-be-more-libertarian-on-pot I'm sure there were some tears in there and talk of saving the children as well.... The CPC don't have a chance if they are going to be regressive about social policy. I wonder what her stance on gay marriage and abortion is if she becomes PM....? the Conservative Party wants to be relevant especially in engaging younger people on the right, who are more drawn to libertarian philosophy more voices like Berniers must emerge. And yes, that means the Conservative Party of Canada must embrace a leader who supports the legalization of marijuana. Edited April 29, 2016 by The_Squid
cybercoma Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah, thats what I was wondering.....how a thirty something Speaker of the House had the least "integrity in all of Canadian history"He was easily the most biased house speaker we've ever had.
overthere Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Andrew Scheer considering a run. Hopeless, because he is not a white man from Montreal. Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Smallc Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Hopeless, because he is not a white man from Montreal. He's also no match for Trudeau regardless.
PIK Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Harper!! Harper!!! Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Smallc Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Harper!! Harper!!! Also no match for Trudeau, obviously.
PIK Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 In 4 yrs he could easily bring trudeau down. Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Argus Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Also no match for Trudeau, obviously. How do you think a debate between Trudeau and Kevin O'Leary would turn out?

waldo Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 How do you think a debate between Trudeau and Kevin O'Leary would turn out? O'Leary's your guy? Really... is it his "business acumen"? What is one to believe in the face of such a questioning/critical rebuke, as follows: The real (and shocking) story of Kevin O'Leary's business career .
?Impact Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 O'Leary's your guy? Really... is it his "business acumen"? I believe there is an inverse relationship between the size of the mouth, and any true capability or accomplishment.
Big Guy Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 I believe there is an inverse relationship between the size of the mouth, and any true capability or accomplishment. I disagree!!!!

Smallc Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 How do you think a debate between Trudeau and Kevin O'Leary would turn out? The same way a debate between Trudeau and Harper did.
cybercoma Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Posted April 29, 2016 The same way a debate between Trudeau and Harper did.Ki disagree. It would be a lot worse for O'Leary.
Argus Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 O'Leary's your guy? Really... is it his "business acumen"? What is one to believe in the face of such a questioning/critical rebuke, as follows: The real (and shocking) story of Kevin O'Leary's business career . Hardly shocking, and I knew all about that. Having a mutual fund fail is nothing big. Especially when it started up in 2008. Tons of them failed then as panicky investors pulled their funds out. As for the rest, he started a company, bought a bad company, then sold both to Mattel and made himself rich. Good on him. None of which is really the point. I'd take Kenny over him any day. But O'Leary is a very good speaker with a strong personality. We have very, very few of those in politics. What we have are bland, mealy mouthed people who never say what they mean or mean what they say. In that context, O'Leary would be breath of fresh, if harsh, air.

Derek 2.0 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 He was easily the most biased house speaker we've ever had. How is that? I wouldn't have thought any Speakers had anything on Marcel Lambert during the Bomarc debate.............regardless, assuming Scheer is the most biased Speaker since the dawn of time in his four year stint, assuming said bias is toward the Tories, how would that preclude him from the leadership of the CPC?
?Impact Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 ...how would that preclude him from the leadership of the CPC? Good question. There is nothing wrong with being partisan when you are leader of a party. I think the issue is however he had a role where he was supposed to be non-partisan and failed at it. That is a mark against his credibility. I guess however that means that Kevin O'Leary would be a good choice too, he failed as a businessman so perhaps he could be a Prime Minister.
overthere Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 He's also no match for Trudeau regardless. Scheer might be if he had the weight of publicly funded TV network behind him, sucking up at every turn around the world. But alas, he does not. Science too hard for you? Try religion!
