wanting to avoid a repeat of the last failed CPC mega-candidate (17) leadership field, a new more rigour demanding 3-tier categorization was adopted; one that moves through meeting the criteria measured categories of Approved-vs-Authorized-vs-Verified levels... at the end, only candidates receiving the Verified designation will be eligible as final election candidates and have their names appear on the CPC leadership ballot.

... where we see O'Tool now touting his Verified status:




by the by, the waldo questions how much of the internal "divide" between candidates is legitimate "blue versus red Tory"... and how much is somewhat manufactured to bring media notice/attention forward on the "race". In any case, it seems this past week has "True Blue O'Tool" setting up a clear delineation between himself and "Liberal Lite mmmKay"

justVisitingJason says Erin is a, "principled Conservative who gets things done, who can unite our party and reach out to Canadians while fighting for a fair deal for Alberta and the West".

Kenney & O'Tool with a big finish: "Let's Git-R-Done!", they say!  ;D

uhhh... does the O'Tool blockade consider YankeeOil as foreign - an O'Tool blockade of American imported oil that accounts for >50% of all imported oil to the 4 Canadian provinces of ON, QC, NL & NB?

wait waldo, by the Mb/d measure, the Canadian import of American oil is equivalent to less than 12% of the total amount of oil that Canada exports to the U.S. --- what would Trumpy do when faced with this O'Tool import blockade?

wait, wait waldo, O'Tool doesn't say how he'd replace that American imported oil... you know, how he'd do it in a timely manner; one that considers practical, logistical and physical means to replace that Foreign American oil. How so Conservative CPC leadership candidate O'Tool, how so?

Let's not even talk about him.... I hope he wins so that the Cons can lose even more in the next election.


The online yahoos are hating Peter McKay because he's trying to get the social conservative yahoos to stop hating the gays.... The Liberals will happily take all the reasonable red Tory votes...

If the CPC elects leaders like Scheer and O'Toole, people who are too conservative for many Canadians to vote for, and the NDP & Greens remain the socialist nutters they always have been and people don't vote for them either....we basically only have 1 party in this country.  We need a moderate centrist party badly, or at least the red tories back.

I watched Leslyn Lewis interview with Vassy Kapelos yesterday.  Lewis and O'Toole seem to think that social conservatives can get them the leadership. If the party goes that direction, they're doomed to fail.

I haven't voted CPC since 2011, and it might be a long time before I ever consider it again.  I might be stuck with the Liberals...  I'll be happier about it once the Liberals have somebody normal as their leader.

He isn’t going to be leader anymore. Dion still has his French citizenship.

It’s not the citizenship that’s the issue...  it’s the rank hypocrisy of Scheer and other Conservatives applying one standard for themselves and riling up their redneck, uninformed base to get into a frenzy about other dual-citizenship politicians, going so far as to question their loyalty to Canada.

Goes both ways, the Conservatives made a big deal of Dion’s French citizenship when he was Liberal leader, the Liberals have done the same with Scheer. Neither has a monopoly on hypocrisy and to suggest otherwise is just, well, hypocritical.

What's Scheer's loyalty to the US?  Not much.  He just wants it for his convenience.  Dual citizenship is dumb.  Choose your loyalty and choose wisely.  Nobody needs two passports, or to vote in a country where you don't live, which is essentially most of the rights citizenship grants you anyways.

Michael Ignatieff moved back to the US not long after his failed PM bid.  "Just visiting" was bang on.  He's not much of a Canadian at all.  At least Dion and Scheer live in Canada permanently.  And because of that, they have no need for US or French citizenship, it's just for convenience.

a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!

ragging on Scheer was good sport... since Scheer claimed (with no substantiation) that he was "in the process" of rescinding his American citizenship... where no record of same exists within the related American registry! His latest lie about stopping the process is predicated on that initial lie that he actually started the process.

by the by, Ignatieff went back to Harvard for the work (2 years worth)... he has spent significantly more time in Europe/Canada teaching & lecturing than time spent in the U.S.. Again, now in Europe, which is where he's been since 2016 (as President and Rector of Central European University).
