O’Toole Can’t Win by Trying to Out-Liberal the Liberals

As if suffering under the worst pandemic crisis seen in generations wasn’t enough, it’s becoming a foregone conclusion that Canadians will also have to endure a federal election in 2021.

As recently proven in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, elections during the pandemic serve the party in power well. The Trudeau Liberals see a path to the majority government that they so desperately crave, and Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s insipid strategy will ensure that the Liberals get their wish.

U of C’s Cooper says O’Toole can’t defeat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Barry Cooper, professor of political science at the University of Calgary, openly doubts Erin O’Toole can lead his party to victory in the next federal election.

“Despite the difficulties that Prime Minister is in, with just about everything he touches turns to mud, nobody seems to be thinking that ‘what’s his name, I’ll remember the next day, the Conservative leader is a suitable replacement,’” Cooper said in an interview with the Western Standard.

“He’s not a particularly photogenic or appealing individual and then when he adds these policies that make him look like a Liberal, people would quite properly ask ‘Why would I vote for him?’”

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole defends Sloan hypocrisy

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole defends decision to back, then oust, Sloan

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says he was once willing to give his former leadership rival Derek Sloan the benefit of the doubt, but no longer.

And he dismissed the idea that kicking Sloan out of caucus this week has pitted him against one of the party’s most powerful wings, social conservatives, whose support O’Toole courted directly during the leadership race last year in part by backing Sloan at the time.

GOLDSTEIN: The Conservatives’ biggest wounds are self-inflicted

On a day when they should have been hammering Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals on the scarcity of vaccines delivered to Canada, Erin O’Toole and the Conservatives were knifing themselves in the stomach tossing Conservative MP Derek Sloan from their caucus.

The ostensible reason was that Sloan unknowingly accepted a $131 donation from white supremacist Paul Fromm during the Conservative leadership race last August, in which Sloan finished in fourth and last place.

I think even Charlie Brown must have figured it out eventually.

Conservatives set to vote on  ̷M̷P̷ ̷D̷e̷r̷e̷k̷ ̷S̷l̷o̷a̷n̷’̷s̷  conservatism’s future in the party

OTTAWA — Conservative members of Parliament will vote today on whether one of their own can remain on the party’s benches.

Derek Sloan is facing potential expulsion from caucus just 15 months after he was first elected as an MP.

Party leader Erin O’Toole triggered the effort to boot him after learning Monday that Sloan accepted a donation from a known white nationalist last year — news that broke one day after O’Toole declared there’s no room in his party for far-right extremism or racism.


Despite their pathetic effort to blame it on a sketchy donation the motives are clear, remove those icky people our new friends at the CBC and Toronto Star don’t like. The fix was in.

Not that I care about the CPLPC, but they should just announce a merger and get it over with.

Derek Filderbrandt: Derek Sloan’s exile over $131 from white supremacist doesn’t add up

Derek Filderbrandt: Derek Sloan’s exile over $131 from white supremacist doesn’t add up

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s wants his MPs to kick Derek Sloan out of caucus for accepting a donation to his leadership campaign for $131 from a white supremacist. Whatever one thinks of Sloan, something just doesn’t add up here.

Far-left propaganda website Press Progress said that they have proof that Sloan accepted the donation from a man named Paul Fromm.

It adds up when you understand that the “braintrust” running the CPC are looking to simultaneously rid themselves of what they consider to be the ideological riff-raff of conservatism and ingratiate themselves with Canada’s media. They really think this will work for them. Yes they are that thick. As noted before the CPC is like the pre-Trump Republicans, self-serving careerists looking for their shot at the public teat.

Tory MP Sloan accuses party of hypocrisy over efforts to have him expelled

Tory MP Sloan accuses party of hypocrisy over efforts to have him expelled

OTTAWA — Ontario Conservative MP Derek Sloan could be expelled from his party’s caucus as early as Tuesday for accepting a donation to his leadership campaign from a white supremacist.

But Sloan accused the party of hypocrisy, saying that Paul Fromm, who has been associated with Neo Nazis for years, was a party member and voted in last year’s leadership contest — a fact that would have been known to all candidates, including eventual winner Erin O’Toole, as well as the party itself.

O’Toole seeks to boot Ontario MP Derek Sloan from Conservative caucus… forgets media will still treat him like dogshit

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says he wants Ontario MP Derek Sloan kicked out of the party caucus over a donation to his leadership campaign from a white supremacist.

I’m no fan of Fromm but this seems an honest mistake by Sloan that’s being taken advantage of by the pissants running the CPC to ingratiate themselves with the media who’ll still treat them like dogshit.

No one likes a weasel.

Ha!
