Voters these days are far more leftist than say the 1980s. The CPC only LOOKS conservative because anyone equivalent to Mitt Romney appears as conservative from their perspective. Agreed. As the world population explodes, it urbanizes. Urban populations tend to be dependent populations, so they vote left.
ironstone Posted February 6, 2022 Report Posted February 6, 2022 This article from PostMillenial says Pierre Poilievre will announce that he will seek the leadership of the CPC. BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre is officially running for Conservative leader | The Post Millennial If he wins it should at least be an improvement over O'Toole but it remains to be seen if his stance on things like the carbon tax and gun control is different than O'Toole's.

And they can use the term 'global elites' too, if they want. Even if their own party was the one to open up free trade. What are you going to do about it ?

Your questions illustrate arrogance and a complete refusal to acknowledge the massive movement against mandates and restrictions across the country. New article on CBC titled "Should vaccine passports require 3 doses instead of 2? Experts weigh in" The comments section was closed after 250 comments once the most popular was: "As a vaccinated person, vaccine passports should end immediately " Then CBC somehow managed to add another 250 comments, to make it look like the article had 500+ comments before they shut commenting down. I can tell you, this becomes a scary place to live in; it will turn into China before we know it.

Although, it’s a fringe minority, the protest itself is rather large and noisy, as far as those go. But, again…. Why do they get to decide my rights?

I’ve spent the last 10 or more days explaining, with many other posters, why it’s so critical to defend our Charter rights. That’s what the protest is all about. I may not agree with what you have to say but I’ll defend your right to say it. I’m vaccinated but you have inalienable rights as a citizen of Canada that must not be removed, no matter whether you’re vaccinated or disagree with my point of view. Either we all have rights all the time (any suspensions require a very high burden of justification) or we don’t. You don’t get to remove rights from some Canadians but demand them for yourself.

So far, if you rank 'real jobs' between the last 3 conservative leaders, O'Toole and Trudeau... O'Toole wins as he was a corporate lawyer for a good amount of time Followed by Trudeau Then Scheer, then Harper and Poilievre who were just party wonks hatched from the conservative shell onto parliament hill.

Answer: no. The Charter is something that is interpreted by courts and never meant to spell out every right in detail within the document. To think otherwise is lacking a very basic understanding of what the Charter is and how it is used.
