And you're worried about troops in the street as well right?

Harper put troops in the streets of Toronto in 2010, trampling upon our civil rights.

Talking about the G20? That was actually Dalton McGuinty's doing. He passed a law infringing on civil rights.

More than twice as many police officers were injured than protesters and over 40 businesses were vandalized. You mean those civil rights?

the sauce is... weak - so weak!



Harper and many conservatives probably feel the same.  But Harper didn't mess with them because it would be political suicide, and Scheer isn't stupid enough to open them either.  He has his own views, he admitted as much that he's pro-life, but what matters more is what CPC policy will be.  He nor Harper won't ram their moral views on these subjects down our throats with zero tolerance for disagreement like Trudeau has.

About the only thing definitive I hear in that whole clip is Rosemary's frustration at not getting any definitive answers to her questions.

Scheer told her he was pro-life, but said CPC policy wouldn't change the pro-choice policy (or non-policy more accurately) in Canada, since it wouldn't fly in the courts anyways as in the past, and would be political suicide.

You have to pick your battles.  They won't win on those, & they know it.

Somehow with all his waffling I don't trust that if he did get elected Pm that he wouldn't try to reopen those issues.

Hidden agenda?

Hidden agenda?

His lack of commitment could suggest one.

Ah, the old hidden agenda again. Considering how Trudeau has backtracked on some of his biggest election promises, someone might suspect a hidden agenda.

He answered the question, he said the party isn't going to re-open those issues.  I don't usually believe politicians, but he would be a fool to do so and would likely lose the next election, if any of it would even get through a court/charter challenge anyways.

Other than waffling and trying to weasel around, I didn't think there was anything wrong with his comments.

He thinks the courts support both abortion and gay marriage.  He's right. 

He says his personal views are not in alignment with the law, but that the law will prevail and nothing will change.

So, what is the issue here?

There are WAY bigger issues with the CPC than Scheer's personal views on social issues.

there wasn't even a threat to sue in the PM Trudeau lawyer's letter...

Perhaps not directly, but there certainly was an implied threat that if Scheer continued on the course he set then he would be subject to one.

That being said, I agree with the "cease and desist" letter from Trudeau's lawyer; and as you have pointed out he is not the first Prime Minister to do this.

I think it was stupid but that's just me.

If Scheer calls his bluff and keeps going, but Trudeau actually sues him, it will just drag the scandal on in the news even longer, doubt JT wants that.

LOL

you shot! You scored... yet another of your own goals! Re-read your linked article - any reference to or direct use of the word 'threat' is made by the author of the article... not PM Trudeau. Again, the letter is a statement of notice - a mandatory requirement before initiating legal action should that consideration actually be pursued. For all youse guys cackling about legal advice PM Trudeau is receiving, someone should tell youse guys & weakSauce that anything he might presume to leverage from Parliamentary Committee testimony to support his lies... that can't be used within a criminal trial.
