O'Toole is definitely more reasonable than that fool Scheer, he's no extremist, though some in the party are bonkers. There are far-right elements in Canada that have been emboldened by Trump and the other things going on in the US that will hopefully lessen. Unfortunately i think Trump is as much a symptom as a cause.
First off, I agree totally with you on Trump being a symptom and not so much a cause. That which ails the US isn't going to be fixed with Biden and his establishment Democratic party. I'll be surprised if he can even fix their healthcare system. And their current mess could qualify as suitable in a fascist regime for what it lacks!
Rightist leaders such as Scheer and O'Toole seldom disappoint their screaming supporters. They save their real priorities until after they're elected.
I suggest the reason for having to do that is because nothing in their agenda is politically acceptable anymore.
That can be a challenge to any of the Con supporters to name one?
