Pierre!

[bernie428]

I used to like him, and now I'm between not so sure and don't.
Like Trudeau, he's never had a real job.
He's also bound by that sad tradition of saying whatever is the opposite the other guy said.
He was all for shutting down the CN blockade in Ontario.
Funny how hypocrisy is one of his favourite words.
Now he's all for blockades.
FYI, I support neither, and so should the government.

In the end, someone between O'Toole and Pierre.
If you can't sell it to the middle, it won't sell, and we might be stuck with the current criminal for 4 more years!

American style negative hate politics at its lowest.

That does appeal to a certain type

O'Toole made the mistake of pandering to some imagined middle ground voters. Played right into the media narrative. Canadians are sick of it. I think this upcoming election will shock NDP and Liberal indoor cats. Staying centre on some stuff of course, but as a Conservative leader, you don't need to put on your fancy pants and walk in a pride parade. Don't have to condemn or support them. No one trusts the media so when they handwring and pull out their hair over it, the people will think it's about time a Conservative Party leader acted the part. Just because I don't want my town wasting money on rainbow crosswalks doesn't make me homophobic.

I'm excited to see the Poilievre vs Bernier battle for the fringe right voters.

Agreed. It's not that I would never vote Conservative. I have voted Conservative many times in my life (twice to support Harper). I just won't vote for what they are today, and if they do end up taking the party even further to the right and start pushing some populist agenda we may very well see the Liberals forming government for some time.

Will be way better watching Poilievre totally destroy Justin Trudeau on a open line live debate .

Many of the same things that were, and are being, said about Trudeau. The CPC needs to unite the conservative voters if they want to take top job. Can Pierre do that? The leadership convention hasn't been held yet, so it is a tad premature to call Pierre the saviour.

If the CPC and PPC joined up, they would get a majority next election.
Now with PierreP, the PPC voters that Otoole lost by being flip floppy will vote CPC again.

Why would Max do that? He'll just become second fiddle again in the combined party. I'm pretty sure he would rather be the first fiddle in his own Party.

With Perre, he's got his own issues, like keeping the trap shut. He's his biggest enemy.......and wasn't he involved in the scandalous In and Out campaign fraud? That's bound to come out if he's elected leader of the CPC.

[tigerox]

He's been a career politician. Didn't pipe up about coercion mandates that are in direct violation of Canadians rights and freedoms. Can't really trust him, not when it was his job as opposition to hold feet to the fire.

Already the self-professed PM in waiting (no ego issues here), he's going to make Canada "the freest country in the world"

[Ka-El]

he's going to make Canada "the freest country in the world"

I wonder what he meant by that?

It's populist rhetoric. Canada is already one of the freest countries in the world.
