Scheer may not be a racist...   there’s no evidence that he is... but he and his party absolutely pander to racists.

Scheer may not be a racist...   there’s no evidence that he is... but he and his party absolutely pander to racists.

Yah some of them as individuals pander to or sympathize with racist ideology of certain individuals in their ridings  but the  Liberals are no different. It wasn't too long ago the Liberals were calling out Bob Rae for being married to a Jewish women loudly on the floor accusing him of all kinds of **** when he ran for the leadership and just how long ago was it Trudeau was visiting Mosques with extremist leaders who belief in a brand of Islamism which is just as racist  as anything Scheer followers are accused of?

Specifically,  Liberal MP's Omar Alghabra, Iqra Khalid and Kalil Ramal are supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and a kind if Islamism which is  as racist as any white supremacist ideology and they use the exact same words as white supremacists to justify its exclusivity.  It was also only a only  few short weeks ago Trudeau removed a reference to Siekh extremism to pander to an audience during a speech. Both Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India have told Trudeau to cool it pandering to pro Khalistani extremist separatists in Canada.

The Liberal re-election strategy I respectfully argue is to try detract from all the Liberal failures by engaging in divisive and polarizing language to divide the country. The code term Trudeau is now reciting is: "its about what kind of country we want to live in, and who we want to be." That then leads to accusing Scheer and anyone who disagrees with Liberal policies for that matter as wanting a racist Canada.

That said politicians need to  be called out and held accountable for intolerant views not with name calling but by specific reference as to their supposed views. Smeer by inneuendo is cowardly.

Well, why not ?  Is your issue that it's immoral or that it doesn't work ?

Scheer could end this pretty quickly by kicking out the **** and firing his staff from The Rebel.

I just don't think Doug Ford will be a helpful or welcome presence in Andrew Scheer's campaign.

So WTF is Doug Ford doing on his PAID 5 MONTH VACATION???!!!
I'll bet he's not catching up on his reading.

This is not a vacation for any of them, the period was extended, but this is time when they do their constituency work, some I've known work 12 hour days. This nonsense about a paid vacation is just liberal propaganda. 

Knowing how this would be portrayed he shouldn't have done it

Ontario PC MPP's will all be campaigning for federal candidates.
And being slammed everywhere about Ontario service cuts! (I don't think that will help Scheer.)
But why are we paying them to do Party work?
They should be paid by the CPC !


Except Doug Ford. CPC likely doesn't want his help. He's a detriment to them right now:

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/06/07/news/heres-everything-doug-ford-government-cut-its-first-year-office

In commenting on the government's decision to adjourn till Oct. 28, one week after the federal election, Conservative house leader Todd Smith said the PC government has "achieved so much."

The Ontario premier agreed, adding recently that his government was "moving at lightning speed."

Here's a list of everything the Ford government has cut in its first year in office:

Slashed the number of paramedic service providers from 59 to 10

Planned to cut Toronto Public Health by $1 billion over the next 10 years. That translates into cuts in school breakfast programs, daycare and restaurant inspections, water-quality testing, pre- and postnatal care for single mothers, and detection of emerging threats to public health. (Reversed retroactive acts; future cuts remain)
Scrapped funding for three supervised drug-use sites (two in Toronto, one in Ottawa)
Trimmed $1 million in funding from Leave the Pack Behind, an agency that helps young people quit smoking

Education
Rolled back sex-ed curriculum
Removed $100-million budget for school repairs (due to cancellation of cap and trade)
Cancelled Ontario's first planned French-language university
Removed $25 million from the Education Programs-Other (EPO) Fund, which will limit grants available for school programs like after-school jobs for youth in low-income neighbourhoods; tutors in classrooms; leadership programs for racialized students; daily physical activity for elementary students and more
Dropped financial assistance for college and university students by more than $300 million
Removed free tuition for low-income students
Cut tuition fees by 10 per cent
Scrapped over $300 million in funding for three satellite university campuses
Increased class sizes, potentially resulting in over 3,400 lost teaching jobs over next four years
Cancelled three summer curriculum-writing sessions, including one that was mandated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and two others relating to American Sign Language and Indigenous languages for kindergarten students
Shutdown the Harmony Movement, which provides diversity, equity, and inclusion education
Scrapped the Ontario College of Trades

Disbanded Anti-Racism Directorate
Withheld $14.8 million in promised funding from existing and new sexual assault centres

Municipal affairs

Planned to cut funds to repair social housing
Asked municipalities and school boards to find 4 per cent in “efficiencies” (i.e., cuts) to services

Arts, culture and tourism
Retroactively slashed $5 million from the Ontario Arts Council
Cancelled the Indigenous Culture Fund
Dropped grants for the Ontario Music Fund by more than 50 per cent
Reduced funding to regional tourism organizations by $17.5 million
Announced the termination of the Beer Store contract, jeopardizing 7,000 jobs
Cut $9.5 million from Tourism Toronto (25 per cent of funding) and $3.4 million from Ottawa Tourism

Social services
Cut $1 billion from social services across the board
Scrapped Basic Income Pilot Project

Cut funding to two artificial intelligence institutes by $24 million
Cancelled a technology accelerators program of $9.5 million, a college-based applied research projects worth $6.7 million; $5 million in funding to the Institute for Quantum Computing; $1.5 million in funding to the Lazaridis Institute, and $750,000 for bioindustrial innovation.
Pared $5 million in funding for stem cell research
Eliminated funding for Gambling Research Exchange Ontario
Cut all funding for Ontario Centre for Workforce Innovation, a pilot program led by Toronto's Ryerson University to collate research on employment and training

Editor's Note: This article was updated on June 7, 2019 at 5:17 p.m. EST to include additional cuts.



Scheer initially proposed deficit cutting in two years, which would mean making very deep cuts like Ford.
Scheer got quick and loud feedback from his own Party, and quickly did an about face, saying 5 years instead ... which is saying nothing at all because it would be beyond a term of office.

Scheer has already been burnt by the backlash against Ford's cuts.
Having Ford on the campaign trail for Scheer would be a disaster for Scheer.
Ford can't appear in public in Ontario now, even in ridings they won, without being booed off stage.


So wtf is Ford doing on his 5mo taxpayer funded vacation?

Here's a list of everything the Ford government has cut in its first year in office:

He was elected to cut the budget, now people are really upset about his cuts.  He cut into a few things he shouldn't have touched, like class-sizes.  Most of his cuts I haven't much a problem with given Ontario is in a crappy debt/budget situation. 

Cuts I have problems with:

-Proposed cuts to protections of species at-risk
-Slashed 50 per cent of flood management funds given to conservation authorities
-Cut the Liberals’ promised $2.1 billion over four years for new mental health funding to $1.9 billion over 10 years
-Proposed ending OHIP’s medical emergency coverage for Ontarians travelling outside the country
-Increased class sizes, potentially resulting in over 3,400 lost teaching jobs over next four years
-Reduced legal aid by 30 per cent
-Dissolved Ontario's Criminal Injuries Compensation Board, the tribunal that has awarded financial assistance to crime victims since 1971, as well as the law that provides financial aid to the victims of violent crime
-Scrapped Basic Income Pilot Project
-Cut Workplace Safety Insurance Board payments to injured workers by 30 per cent
-Removed rent control for new units
-Severed library services funding in half
-Slashed $84.5 million funding for children and at-risk youth, including children’s aid societies

I wonder, is he as fixated on filling potholes as his brother was?

Cuts I have problems with:

I am sure others have problems with other cuts he has made.

The other problem are many of his "cuts" will not reduce spending, but actually increase it (ex. sex ed curriculum changes to reflect outdated social polices of the religious nutcases)
