With the re-election of DoFo in Ontario, we'll see a rift in the two major Conservative leaders in the country.

Pierre P will not find an ally in much of Ontario. I really hope Patrick Brown can win the leadership race.

WTF is so great about Brown? He was a social conservative when he was an MP. Or was that pretend? Or is he pretending now? Or did he change his mind? What made him change his mind? Will he change it again?

Quote

As a federal MP, Brown had been one of the more socially conservative members of the Conservative caucus.[121][122][123] As an MP, Brown voted to re-open the same-sex marriage and abortion debates, and also voted against legalizing euthanasia and including gender expression in the Canadian Human Rights Act. He later said those votes were to represent his constituents.[124][125] Brown said that he didn't intend to revisit any of these issues in the provincial legislature.[126][127] As a candidate in the 2022 Conservative leadership election, he reiterated his pro-choice stance though he also stated he thinks abortions should be rare and wants to encourage alternatives to abortion.[128][129]

He's down the middle. Definitely a Red Tory.

He was elected Mayor in Brampton. A very multicultural Suburban Toronto riding. I contend PP has no chance of winning seats in the 905 as Federal leader.

I think the far right of the Ontario PCs orchestrated his demise with this fake sex scandal. Dofo swoops in and realizes the populist **** doesn't work in Ontario and moved to the centre.

A middle of the road anti-abortion, anti gay-marriage, anti death with dignity conservative.

If they're smart they'll elect Charest. He was premier of Quebec. He's one of their own. They might want some Quebec seats if they want to win. Not really sure about his policies though, don't know much about the guy.

PP has zero shot at uniting this country that's for sure.

Does Pierre Poilievre actually exist or is he just an AI that spits out random right wing grievance buzzwords?

Always funny when small government conservatives tout expanding the bureaucracy tho.

“Free speech”is an American concept. PP can’t even use the Canadian expressions in his conservative talking points.

Conservative MPs can’t help themselves….

Quote

Arnold Viersen, who represents Peace River-Westlock for the Conservative Party of Canada, titled his video "History in the making!"
"This is something that I know a lot of people have been praying for for a very long time, the overturn of Roe v. Wade," Viersen said.
"The pro-life movement in the United States has been working hard on this for generations and it feels so good to have a win."
The MP went on to call abortion in Canada the "greatest human rights tragedy of our time."

They want the same for Canada.

Patrick Brown given the boot by the Cons.

Quote

The campaign said they had just learned about the LEOC’s “secret meeting” and their decision to disqualify Brown through the media.

“We were not present at the meeting, nor were given an opportunity to defend ourselves before the LEOC,” it reads. “This decision is based on anonymous allegations. Our campaign was never provided with the full details or evidence of these allegations, failing an even basic requirement of due process.”

The statement further alleges that the Conservative Party is “expecting a coronation for Pierre Poilievre.”

I want to yeet this little twat into the lake.

Pee Pee Poo Poo says he would allow jets to fly in and out of Toronto's Billy Bishop airport if elected

Who is asking for this? Nobody. Who does this benefit? Also nobody.

And he calls the locals who don’t want the extra noise in their neighbourhood “gatekeepers”.

Hey @MH , would you be affected by the increased noise?

When I lived in the Big Smoke, my condo balcony literally overlooked the end of the runway. It was loud af with the turboprop planes going, I expect jets would be worse, especially if the amount of air traffic also increased.

The other thing is, Billy Bishop is not particularly accessible. You can take the Bathurst streetcar or the Queen's Quay line (which IIRC, connects with Union Station), but then you have to schlep your crap by foot a couple hundred yards to the airport. Increasing the amount of air traffic coming in and out of BB would mean a ton more traffic congestion in an area that's not great for cars.

The city has spent millions of dollars turning Toronto's waterfront from an industrial wasteland to a place where people can live and play, having jets ripping overhead at all hours spits in the face of that effort, especially since there's already a giant airport 25 minutes away from downtown!

It’s definitely just a move to pander to people who are too stupid to look into the details. It’s also probably a f*ck you to city residents since they don’t vote Conservative anyway.

You can't spell Pierre without "Pee".

Charest was cabinet minister for Mulroney. He went on to become the leader of the progressive conservatives before going into provincial politics. As many know, he became premier of Quebec as a Liberal where, like BC, the Liberal Party is in name only.

He's pro business but not a climate change denier. He's not a covid denier and is pro vaccines and masks. He's inclusive without focusing on identity politics. The only thing I've seen yet about him which I didn't like was he's against public funded CBC.

He would do well for Canada I think. I doubt he'll win since he's quite moderate but he would definitely take a lot of votes from soft Liberals.

Heck, I might even vote conservative for the first time in my life if he's the one keeping the caucus in check.
