Queenmandy85 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Argus said: I think we'd all be more willing to accept high taxes if the roads were in good shape, we had a health care system that didn't require months of waiting to see a specialist, and the justice system worked well. The Liberal Party of Saskatchewan ran with an election platform of higher taxes for needed infrastructure and to stop the ballooning deficits created by the Conservatives. The Tories and the NDP started a bidding war to see who could promise more spending and lower taxes. It was called the hot tub war for it's lavish promises of subsidized home renovations. The only seat the Liberals won was the leader's. The NDP defeated the Tory government. Just for the record, I worked on the Tory campaign but I learned nobody ever won an election promising higher taxes or a cut in services. Taxme will never see his vision of government nor will I ever see a restoration of the Canadian Armed Forces nor a powerful Monarch. But I do make a darned fine coffee mug.

betsy Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Real Women of Canada endorses Sloan and Lewis. Quote The ultimate pro-life voting guide to Canada’s Conservative Party leadership race Pro-life groups are saying there are only two real leadership choices for voters in the Conservative party of Canada: Derek Sloan and Leslyn Lewis The pro-life group is asking pro-life Conservatives “to vote for Derek Sloan and Leslyn Lewis in the top ballot positions of number one and number two, in whatever order you prefer,” says director of political operations, Jack Fonseca. It is also urging pro-life Conservatives to leave MacKay and O’Toole completely off the ballot, even though O’Toole is endorsed by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Alberta MP Garnett Genuis. “REAL Women does not recommend that a vote be cast on the ballot for the two Red Tory candidates Peter MacKay and Erin O'Toole. Neither of them is pro-life/family nor can be trusted to take into consideration the social conservative position when making decisions,” the group stated in a press release. O’Toole and MacKay “do not deserve a vote from pro-life, pro-family Conservatives,” emphasized CLC’s Fonseca. “It would send the wrong message to all Conservative politicians across Canada, essentially telling them that they can earn our support without giving us anything in terms of meaningful policy.” https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-ultimate-pro-life-voting-guide-to-canadas-conservative-party-leadership-race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your chose is between O'Toole and MacKay. Which is not, I admit, much of a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will all be up to the head honchos in the conservative party, and from what I have seen so far coming from the head honchos of the conservative party they mostly appear to want to push liberal socialist programs and agendas that are anti-life. Real Women of Canada better beware as to who they vote for. They may get what they did not ask for. The conservative party is not a real and true conservative party at all. They only want to talk about and endorse liberal values that will only end up being more of a detriment to Canada than a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest to being Conservative who has a real shot at not only kicking Trudeau out, but also winning a majority is none other than LESLYN LEWIS! The Conservative Party CAN BE a real conservative party. Lewis' platform is all conservative though she expresses herself DIPLOMATICALLY (which is practical since we want to win the centrists too)! I urge all conservatives to get united behind Lewis! She's gaining momentum among non-social conservatives. She's the ticket to a majority in the next Federal election! Take my word for it!

Steven Harper was supposed to have been a real and true conservative but what did he do for Canada and conservatism when he was elected the PM with a majority. Harper had a golden opportunity to get rid of the CBC, one of his worse enemies, and he did not. Harper was supposed to believe in freedom of speech, less government and less taxes. Did we get any of that? NOPE. All we got from Harper was just more government, more taxes, and less freedom. Take my word for it. If Lewis is a real and true conservative, she will never become the leader of the liberal conservative party. That is the last thing the liberal conservative party wants to do is to have someone who is a real conservative in the party. Take my word for it, she will be going nowhere fast in the liberal conservative party. No one can ever say that Scheer was a conservative. Scheer was a liberal thru and thru. The only hope for conservatism to take hold in Canada is to join and vote for the PPC and Maxine Bernier. Come on, Betsy, you only have to look at what the liberal conservative party talks about and what the PPC talks about. Scheer or whomever it will be is a liberal. Bernier is a conservative. There is no other choice. It's either whomever and Bernier. Your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has conservative values. Bernier didn't even win his seat in his own turf. He'll never have a chance. We'll be stuck with long years under the Liberals again. Quote ‘I don’t hide who I am’: Leslyn Lewis's pitch to conservative voters She's the first-ever woman of colour vying to lead the Tories and her platform emphasizes fairness within the Conservative Party, a pushback against political correctness and a repeal of Liberal policies Lewis is hoping that her plain-dealing approach will do more than defy her own party’s expectations. “To unite the country, we have to be able to sit across the table from people who don’t think like us and have strong conversations about where our country needs to go for everybody to benefit,” Lewis says. A poll commissioned by her campaign showed that Canadians, writ large, overwhelmingly preferred a Conservative Party leader who fit her description—“Female. Lawyer and entrepreneur. Ph.D. in law and a master’s in environmental studies. Visible minority”—over those of her opponents. Despite being a relative “outsider,” she has secured endorsements from seven MPs. A cross-section of Conservative sources, including people working on other campaigns, say they are seeing a surge in her popularity. “She’s so articulate, and very intelligent and calm. And she has an understated, powerful way of communicating with people that makes her very relatable,” says Melanie Paradis, who is heading up communications for Erin O’Toole. https://www.macleans.ca/politics/leslyn-lewis-social-conservative-party-leadership-2020/ "......strong conversations about where our country needs to go for everybody to benefit,” We need that now, more than ever!

BubberMiley Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Leslyn Lewis seems like an excellent candidate.

I don't think that will hurt her at all. It might actually help her, the way she's handling the issue with diplomacy and tact. If I'm not mistaken, her platform is to establish some laws limiting abortion, which is inlined with what the majority of Canadians want. You should read the whole polls and explanations. Quote Do Canadians support a law limiting abortion? Yes. The 2020 Dart poll is an excellent example of this. In that poll 71% believe a woman should be able to get an abortion for whatever reason, but at the same time 70% of Canadians think abortion should be illegal in the last trimester and 84% supported a law against sex selective abortion. https://weneedalaw.ca/2020/06/canadian-opinions-on-abortion/ Lewis will get us the majority on the Fall election.

The conservative party, jut like the liberal party, are pro-globalist. The head honchos in the PC party will never let a real and true conservative like Bernier ever become a leader. Bernier was a real conservative and the PC party voted for the liberal Scheer instead. Keep dreaming on, Betsy, but the next leader of the PC party will be just another liberal globalist. See if I am not wrong. Hold me to it if I am. As one great Canadian called Pat Burns once said? The difference between the conservative party and the liberal party is that the conservative party will go a little slower towards total liberalism and globalism for Canada. Believe it or not. If Leslyn Lewis is your woman for the leaders job, well good luck for you on that one. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it did not take long before the lieberals pretty much made the gun registry even worse than what it was, and Trudeau did end the First Nations financial transparency act. I guess all we can do now is just wait and see what happens with the conservative party. I cannot understand as to why the PC party will not talk about the real issues going on in Canada. Big government, high taxes, and never have said that freedom of speech will exist forever. Political correctness is killing this once great British/European country, and the PC party appears to be just as PC as the liberal party is PC. Just remember, it was conservative Brian Mulroney that gave the Canadian taxpayer's another tax called the GST. That tax has cost the Canadian people more of their dollars being stolen out of their wallets. If I were someone running for the PC party that wanted to get elected I would say to we the people that if I am elected I will get rid of the GST. They should be a shoo-in. Just saying.
