Couldn't agree more. These diehard Liberals should be looking at the shameful record of their own leader before they bring up their criticisms of other leadership candidates. It shows they are just partisans who defend their Liberal brand come hell or high water. One said he would support a CPC leader if he was a moderate conservative. I figure O'Tool would fit that description and I don't recall him ever showing any support for O'Tool.
Why on earth would you expect the voters to support Erin O'Toole when members of his own Party, and his caucus, did not support him?
Not only did they not support him, while Leader, O'Toole had to stand with his back facing the wall because there were so many of his colleagues and Party members looking to stab him in the back starting on day 1. Exact same for Scheer.
Really...what a bunch? Social conservative issues, covid pandemic restrictions, and the Freedom Convoy are not issues for the vast majority of urban voters. Or indeed the vast majority of Canadian voters according to the polls. That is where the election is won. Or lost in the case of the CPC.
The CPC has become a party of whining social conservatives, rural voters and Prairie populists, and angry people. With the exception of a few MP's, they do not even appear to be addressing that issue.
The fault lines caused by CPC MP's internal disagreement over the Freedom Convoy issue has served to exacerbate those issues within the Party. The CPC MP's who do want to change that image and that voter perception have been quickly ostracized by many of their fellow caucus members.
It only got worse with the recent Convoy presentation for, and attended by, about 25 percent of CPC caucus members. The list included Candice Bergen and Leslyn Lewis. What about the remaining 75 percent of CPC MP's???
I am surprised that former Cabinet Minister and current MP Michelle Rempel has not yet been banished from caucus for speaking publicly about the real issues within the CPC caucus and the Party. There is time yet. So far she has only been demoted from her shadow cabinet role.
Compare Rona Ambrose's leadership as Interim CPC Leader post Harper to Candice Bergen's performance as Interim CPC Leader post O'Toole. It is somewhat pathetic.
Take time to understand Michelle Rempel's comments. Or read between the lines on what former serious and politically experienced members who have run away from senior positions in the Party are saying. People like James Moore, John Baird, Lisa Raitt, Rona Ambrose, and others. Or not saying about the current so called CPC team. Read between the lines when you see them interviewed on the media.. Especially during this Leadership election.
IMHO we desperately need a competent and united Opposition Party that is ready to step in a form a successful Government. Alas, we have not had that for a number of years nor does it appear that one is on the horizon.
By the way, I have been a Conservative voter in the past.
so sad.
