Cons are choosing from these 4 idiots?  Good lord...  Just give Trudeau the trophy now...

Sloan says Trump is 'a very shrewd and capable negotiator'

Lewis said the party should do more to promote family as "the cornerstone, the bedrock of our society," and, if elected, she should enact parental rights legislation.

MacKay's environment plan reads much like what outgoing leader Andrew Scheer pitched to voters in the last election — a promise to achieve "advances in technology," invest in "carbon sequestration" and to sell Canadian natural gas around the world to displace coal as a source of energy.

He said the problem with Scheer's plan was not the substance but how it was communicated to voters.

Speaking to reporters after the debate, O'Toole dodged questions about whether he thought systemic racism exists in Canada but promised to tackle prejudice.

"There is racism in Canada. We will stamp out any instances of racism, unfairness or discrimination.

What does “parental rights” legislation entail?

Erin O'Toole is annoying.

The right for their kids not to learn about LGB and especially TQ people, and sex in general, I expect.

If Peter McKay is counting on gas replacing coal, he hasn't checked the price of gas or read a damn thing this year!

They also are proposing rights for parents to have a say in whether their trans kids can get hormone therapy etc.

Who do you LIKE Waldo ?

-Who do you think will win ?
-Who do you think is the best candidate ?
-Who do you think would fare best against Trudeau ?

Personally, this election makes more of a difference on whether I vote Liberal or not.  If they elect a wingnut, basically anybody but McKay, I will vote Trudeau in protest.  Otherwise, I will look at local candidates this time, in all likelihood.

to me, MacKay carries too much Harper baggage - notwithstanding his destruction of the Progressive Conservative Party. Lewis isn't a serious candidate - if either O'Tool or Sloan wins... then that will lead to the ultimate demise of the CPC - a 'win-win scenario'! 

Whomever they choose, this has been a group of uninspiring, and some downright dangerous, characters.  The non-social conservatives kowtowing to that part of the party.  It actually disgusts me.
