Weren’t conservatives against cancel culture?

We aren't talking about misgendering someone or some other 'microagression' here. Give your head a shake.

So those jokes are ok, but joking about Conservatives isn’t?   That seems very snowflake cancel-culture of you.  
 

Where is the poor guy’s “free speech”??

Yes, misgendering someone is not the same as asking for your political rival to be turned into the Chinese consulate. There is an actual bounty on him. You do understand that, right? There is no equivalency here, just you sounding stupid.

So, you’re saying speech may have consequences?   Us wokies have known that for a while.  It’s about time conservatives came around. 
 

What do you think about the Cons ditching the candidate who joked that Trudeau should be hanged?

No one has ever denied that speech has consequences. But you still have a right to free speech. They just got kicked from the party. They aren't facing legal consequences.

The difference is 'wokies' would have people face charges for perceived 'microagressions'. You could always be fired for essentially calling for someone's death. I don't think that is anything new. Once again, give your head a shake.

Three candidates removed by the Cons in one day!

Singh is the third candidate the Tories dropped on Tuesday, following the ouster of Mark McKenzie in southwestern Ontario and Stefan Marquis in Montreal.

The Conservatives did not share a reason for why they dropped Singh, merely confirming that he was dropped as a candidate in a one-line email to CBC News.

Quick... look over there...

Why would only Lib candidate who get the boot be noteworthy?

This is a straw man. 
 

What do you think of the Con candidate that got the boot by PP?  Fair?

Yes. The one who called for the execution of Trudeau, you mean? Absolutely. And the media didn't have to tell him to do it. Leadership.

Carney defended it. And then called it a teachable moment. Very Trudeau-like. I seem to remember Trudeau using similar language whenever something bad came out about him. The important thing is we all learn something whenever the Liberals do something wrong.

Why look over there? It's meaningless.

Your attempt at a catch in the slips ended up in a boundary four

All of them seemed to deserve to be canned.  Why just mention the Libs?

Because the Liberals didn't can Chiang. They defended him. He called for his opponent to turned over to what would likely mean his death.

And so he should have but Carney not firing him was bad optics.

It's weakness is what it is. He backed out of the TVA debate, and he failed to be decisive over this. The man is in above his head.

 Did you miss where I agreed he should’ve been removed?  😂 

Oh , so in other words you're being the hypocrite.  
I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED BUT IT"S NOT OK FOR A CONSERVATIVE TO THINK THAT!!!!

Whatever loser. 

[TreeBeard]

Not a good look for the Conservatives or PP.   The base won’t care, or will applaud this, but normal Canadians won’t support this position.  
 

Any predictions on whether PP pulls this guy’s nomination?  I think he will.

In videos posted on social media, Aaron Gunn — the Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia — has said Canada’s program of residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide and that the schools are “much-maligned.”

“The comments are reprehensible, especially to residential school survivors,” said Terry Teegee, regional chief of the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations.

More people think that than you would like to believe. The simple fact is that the school "tragedy" is overhyped and most people are sick of being called some sort of monster for it.  Don't get me wrong it wasnt' great but it wasn't on par with the jewish genocide which is what advocates like to believe 

The only people offended by it are those who were never going to vote conservative in a million years anyway

Meanwhile a liberal candidate calls for the capture and murder of a rival and the libs say "oh he can stay no problem". Sorry but they set that bar way too high

I'll bet you he's rolling his eyes at a lot of it too.

If he does Maxime Bernier should see a little boost in his numbers....by rights.
