Max, With Mark

Ooops--that was Saskatchewan!!

I should have written: ''Hats off from Saskatchewan--Go get em' Max!!

Jean Chretien capitalized on his accent. He was quite successful.

Bernier speaks English like Andrew Scheer and Kellie Leitch speak French.

Pop of Saskatchewan: 1,100,000

Pop of Quebec: 8,326,100

I had originally mailed a cheque to Scheer for my membership and in support of his campaign. The cheque and the envelope were stamped Mar. 24, four days before the deadline for voting in the campaign. Scheer's office claimed to have received the cheque ''too late'' thanks to Canada Post's inefficiency. However in the 50 years that I worked in the ag and auto industry, the post office stamp on a envelope was almost always considered the date that the payment was made. Scheer's office refused to accept that. So they returned my cheque. In any event, Maxime is my choice. And I doubt that Scheer will even make second place.

Liking what you hear from a politician... The one and only job qualification for a politician, is being able to figure out what people want to hear, then saying that.

If he is consistent, if he says the same things to everyone, in both languages, maybe I would start to suspect sincerity. Until then, where is the proof.

I just put Alexander into the dumpster, LindaL. And here's why. In this very recent release (below), he pats himself on the back for "giving western farmers marketing freedom", but in the same breath, supports "supply mangement for dairy and poultry".

"Our Party has always championed farmers & food.
Canada is today the world's 5th largest agricultural exporter.
We gave western grain farmers marketing freedom.
We secured market access in the US, Latin America, Europe & Asia.
China & India buy Canadian because of quality.
Lower taxes, research, marketing & exports will keep our farms strong.
Supply management for dairy and poultry is part of this strategy..."

So what are you Chris? An advocate for open and free competitive markets, or a supporter of a closed system that has no room for true competition. You look absolutely silly wearing those two hats.

Go back to the 2016 US election. About 3 GOP candidates were not attacked. All the rest were. We clearly do not have as good a field as the Merkans did, but at least we have one or three.

Well said with great points.

It is important that we do not get Liberal disguised as a Conservative like Brown in Ontario is, or Palliser in Manitoba.

Problem with comparing us to the Americans is that Canadians do not have the same coverage as the American MSM. Global, CTV and our own darling CBC do not have the reporters that would be able to cover all of the 14 candidates here in Canada in a leadership race as the Americans did covering the Presidential race. Different magnitude of scale, in other words, Apples and Oranges.

However while on the topic of the Canadian MSM you have to ask why did O'Leary get involved so late and why did he step aside, could it have been that it was an orchestrated plan by the CBC to sway the vote in Bernier's favour. Like your example of three GOP contenders that were not attacked there are eight of the candidates in this race that have no chance so the media did not have to waste time or space on them, of the remaining five it was easy to pick out who would be the most harmful to the Laurentian Elite and who would be most beneficial. So if you are a CPC member and are going to vote consider where the MSM are trying to lead you.

This is not a problem for me. Alexander is not saying he supports completely unfettered free markets -- he is saying he supports Canadian farmers. In the case of the Wheat Board, some Canadian farmers were seriously disadvantaged in selling their wheat. In the case of the Milk Marketing Boards, I believe it is American farmers who are disadvantaged, so there is no inconsistency in his position. I think the same is true with poultry. If you support completely open markets, then you would not like his position, but a good case could be made that his position is supportive of Canadian food sources and farming.

And a good case could be made that has position supports the continued screwing of Canadian consumers.

Kelly Leeth won't be making thecond plathe. Theeth got a got a bad lithp, that's her downfall.

My choice was Andrew Scheer, however after dealing with his campaign staff, no way!!

And looking at the comments from Creepy Clown and Dano, I can almost see Trudeau giving out his victory speech in 2019!!

Every election, people like that fill the media with comments that the MSM associates with conservatism. (Gee, why do the polls drop!!) Thanks guys!!)

Speaking of the MSM, Trump's approval is now at 42%, the lowest in recent American history after 100 days in the White House! And that includes Nixon. I guess what you say in the media does make a difference after all!

Nenshi? Gregor Robertson in Vancouver is a bigger threat to city rate payers. He's a bought & paid for Tides (Sorearse) dupe & the Pembina Institute.

All Nenshi is doing is trying the tried & true - Olympics & new rinks for CNRL's "ice hockey team". It's questionable whether he'll be successful on either item.

The problem with Chris Alexander is that he is for increasing immigration to Canada. He mentions a figure of 400,000. That is unacceptable to me. We need to dial immigration and refugee entry back, not increase them massively.

He is also unelectable based on the Murti immigration fiasco. The media did a total hatchet job on him, and he did not help his cause. Personally I think his political career is over.

"Bernier speaks English like Andrew Scheer and Kellie Leitch speak French."

Who gives a SHIT how or even whether Scheer and Leitch speak French.(as if the pepsis in Kee-Bake speak Fwench)

When Harper finally got a majority, it showed anyone who was paying attention that Kee-Bake was not necessary to get a Majority Canadian government(or less, the dumbass pepsis voted NDP) To form a real national Canadian government you have to beat Kee-Bake, not suck up to them.
Kee-Bakers HATE Canada.(and yet would be nothing without Canada)

Are you a troll or did you just discover politics yesterday?
I only ask because your understanding of politics is so 20th century and in case you haven't noticed, this is the 21st century.
The answer to Quebec is to simply call their bluff.
Get Onside or Get Out.(oh, and as a conquered territory of Canada, get out means GET OUT, we keep the land and you GTFO)

Hatchet job is right. The media has been very aggressive in going after him. The main "story" in this campaign was about his participation in the rally where "lock her up" was chanted. Presumably he was supposed to play the school marm and squelch the spontaneous (and harmless) chanting. This came from the Toronto Star, which is equal to the CBC in its championing of the Liberal cause. I think the leftist media has gone after Alexander deliberately because he could pose a real threat to Trudeau. He has been undermined, but he has intelligence and integrity. He will be back.

Re: ''Who gives a SHIT how or even whether Scheer and Leitch speak French.(as if the pepsis in Kee-Bake speak Fwench)''

Trudeau loves OZ!! You've already got him into majority territory!!

If your reasoning is right, then how did Justin defeat Mr. Harper in 2015??

Quebec elected 40 Liberal seats of their total 78. Only 12 were Conservative.

In Ontario, the Libs. elected 80 seats. The CPC elected 33.

Why would an English majority province elect a government led by a French Canadian??

Because they liked Justin Trudeau.

"If your reasoning is right, then how did Justin defeat Mr. Harper in 2015??"

Justin defeated anything? Really anything?
Harper QUIT. The very reality that Harper QUIT has Soured me on politics more than anything that I have ever cared about or thought or encountered ever. EVER.
(and Harper quitting is the best case scenario. that Harper was always the Dark Horse designated by the International Elites to KILL the REFORM Movement is the Worst case scenario)

...think that's schtoopid? Harper was born in Toronto, was in the political Liberal Club in his TO High School and he migrates west and SHAZAM! He's not only a Western Wonk who marries an Alberta Cattle Ranch Chick, but Stephie is an Author of the Alberta Firewall Letter while never DOING ANYTHING to implement it in any Western Province in any way.

Ponder This: If you believe in something or someone, and that someone has become the Leader of the Thing-in-Which-you-Believe and He turns out to be leading you and the entire movement off of a cliff as though he is the designated Lemming, ...but.... only HE has a parachute, and the rest of the Lemmings(followers) get to go SPLAT!!! ...well...My take is to at least STOP following that movement.

Am I a quitter? NO. I am in search of a new movement. Conservative movements claim to want a Big Tent.

F-That. Conservative voting citizens get DEFRAUDED on Conservative ISSUES because the Big Tent means Big Infiltration by Fake CANDIDATES who are Progressive, non-Conservative candidates who could not even pretend to be Conservatives except for the Big Tent BS pushed by the already corrupted Conservative leadership board. These people should be SHOT or HANGED.
...(actually Hanging's too good for 'em, Burning's too good for 'em, ...They should be TORN into Ittsie Pieces and Buried ALIVE!).../off Heavy Metal

Conservatives need to have Core Values, just like Progressives have Core Values that weed out non-heterodox politicos who seek to infiltrate and gain a seat for either personal or more probably partisan political gain by posing as a Conservative while actually holding or pushing Leftist political issues and gains.

Conservatives need Make-Or-Break CORE ISSUES that are Non-Negotiable like GARLIC to a VAMPIRE if a Progressive/Leftist were to try to pose as a Conservative.
These core Conservative issues MUST be entirely unpalatable for a Leftist and would make Progressives PUKE TO DEATH! if they pretended to be or work with Conservatives. And even if the could hold their cookies for one election, violating these CORE PRINCIBLES would get them TURFED out of the party and they and their supporters and endorsers would be BANNED or get a CENSOR for being non-Heterodox.

We've been losing because we aren't playing to win, we have viewed the enemy as being just a political opponent, but that view is so terminally wrong, so short sighted because we think the enemy just wants to win on a few political issues. The other side doesn't mean to just win politically. They mean to KILL US. They are the Champions, Minions, and Useful Idiots of UN Agenda 21 and losing against UN Agenda 21 means DIEING for people like you and me.

YOU and ME, DIEING. We aren't playing patty cakes here with these people no matter how innocuous their dupes are.

And believe me, ...I know some of their dupes are people you love.
