It reminds me of Trump pondering to the base -- the base is going to vote that way anyway - the swing voters the important ones. Alienating them is a guaranteed loss
And tell the entire caucus, “okay, no more private member bills bringing shades of abortion control to the fore…” That doesn’t do anything to convince people you aren’t anti-reformation. I get it that there was some reasonably arguable logic for some of the bills, but it was very poorly presented externally, and the LPC spin-machine did Yoeman service making the Cons look like they wanted to abolish abortion or worse…
O’toole took lessons from how Scheer mishandled the abortion and LBGTQ questions. He handled both well and it was a non issue despite attempts by the LPC to do so.
Yep. They aren’t doing themselves any favours.
I cannot believe how effective the fearmongering is on the CPC. One guy I know even though he hates Trudeau and what the Liberals are doing (he is more towards what the Liberal Party was 20 years ago), voted for the Liberals because the Conservatives 'were going to take away public health care'.
Everyone continues to ignore the biased and corrupt media establishment's role in all of this. Once you understand this and you see the "news" for what it is, you wouldn't feel the same way about the LPC or the CPC that is being portrayed in the media. The voting outcome would be far different. But the crooked politicians know that an uninformed electorate can be easily manipulated. A clear example of this is how Trudeau has escaped all of his scandals relatively unscathed. There is not a right leaning politician on the planet that would have survived half of those scandals, the media would have beat that drum endlessly (like they did to Trump) until their mission was accomplished.
This is a complete and unequivocally false statement and you know it.
It's not. So long as the opposition with the best chance of winning the election, in this case the Conservatives, are off base with the majority of Canadians, the 65 out of 100 that vote LPC NDP and BQ then it matters little what Trudeau does or doesn't do.
The LPC found a way to catch up and surpass the USA in terms of vaccinations, I didn't hear the CPC congratulate them.
Batters is 51 years old, she's going to be on the hill and in the senate long after O'Toole is gone, so kicking her out does very little fundamentally to her.
He needs to kick out a few more. This sends a strong signal.While I would love to talk about how much the media is biased, I really don't care and real politics is happening.
O'Toole boots senator who challenged his leadership out of Conservative caucus
Erin O'Toole kicked Sen. Denise Batters out of the Conservative caucus Tuesday -- one day after she challenged his leadership.www.ctvnews.ca

Either way.
Could be that thousands of people were still dying and the Conservatives thought it wouldn't be tactful. Especially after our afraid to upset China, travel bans are racist start out of the gate.
Our senators aren't elected and holding a position like that for life is bullshit.
