Pleasing Your Enemies Does Not Turn Them Into Friends

Go Max!!

He had my vote for the leadership.

"Bernier replied by saying he isn't interested in a meeting because
the two share no common ground, and says Conservatives should
support treating everyone individually without any labels at
all."

there's my conservative party!

Yep. But CBC told people that Scheer was much more better. And the sheeple followed.

I recently emailed Max, expressing my frustration that, with all the sh!t hitting the fan around Turdeau, Scheer is basically absent. Max was my choice for CPC leader because I felt that in situations like this, he'd be on the front page and leading the news each day.

"stating colour blindness as a defence actually contributes to racism."

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Heads I win, tails you lose, etc. etc.

I wish Bernier were the CPC leader instead of Sheer. I voted for Lisa Raitt, but I would have been happy with Bernier. But Sheer! I am so disappointed in him. He seems like a really nice guy, earnest and patriotic, but timid, wishy-washy and uninspiring. Whenever there's a contentious issue - like the acquittal of Gerald Stanley - he's MIA, when Trudeau and Singh didn't hesitate to give their opinions.

Good for Bernier. A lot of Canadians are getting sick of the identity politics. Scheer should start speaking out against it as well.

I voted for Bernier as leader of the CPC but the party chose a middle of the road balance between the red tories and the more truly conservative.

As far as this issue goes, it seems that not being racist is Raaaaciiissst!!!

in the long term, Bernier is 100% spot on.
since when do LIEberals *ever* consider the long term over instantaneous virtue signaling?

Max was and is my choice!

Max was and is my choice!

What else did anyone expect from Scheer? His big claim to fame is that he was the Speaker of the House; aka the *referee*. He didn't have to take stands on anything because he wasn't even *supposed to do so*. Ergo he spent his four years in the Speaker's chair performing no governing work of substance and studiously avoiding taking any real stances on anything. Little wonder he's all but done the same since becoming leader. He's a damned empty suit, a bad choice for leader, and I've no doubt that Pony will beat him but good in 2019.

Mind you I figured we were stuck with Pony for 8-12 years as soon as he won, anyway. Bernier would've lost in 2019 too but at least he would've lost standing for something and actually started to build the groundwork that would lead to a victory. With Scheer the party's just running in place, going nowhere.

Bernier used to be all about fiscal libertarianism and other issues were back burner.
Sometime around the tranny toilets issue and during the leadership campaign he became red pilled.
We need the entire CPC caucus to get red pilled.
Getting tired of palooka 90’s conservatism.

Good for Max for having some principles and sticking to them.

Yes, it does appear that we got stuck with a lemon and another four years of a useless teat.

Max should be the leader.
Will Sheer speak out against illegal immigration, corporate welfare, pipeline delays?
Right now he,s busy in England.

And more than a few on this site said "Never Bernier, he's from Quebec".

In all fairness, I was skeptical of his ability to handle confidential government documents. And his taste in girlfriends.

If Lance doesn't upgrade the Captcha soon, we're not going to able to post. It's getting more and more obstructive.

When scheer loses maybe they'll rig it so bernier wins next time. Until then it's scheer who? The guy hasn't been on the news yet. Completely useless.

If only Andrew Scheer could be Patrick Browned right out of his job and replaced with a real leader like Bernier.

Maybe some anonymous chick could claim Scheer pinched her ass 10 years ago or something, that ought to do the trick.

In all fairness sometimes it is better to just let the Hairdoo continue to beclown himself. As Judge Judy would say, "Why are you interrupting? Does it look as if you are losing?"
The clown prince continues to embarrass himself and by association, those who voted for him. Let it last forever.
However, Bernier was my first choice too. But all the squishy red tories picked the guy who supported the Paris Climate Accord. Gaa!

Without demeaning anyone's point of view in any way, I happen to like Max's taste in girlfriends, if it's all the same. As for the rest of it (the government docs), it all looked a bit thin at the time -- and it certainly does now, doesn't it?

All in this household in Stratford ON voted for Max.

I thought the potential of his leadership was a promising -- and, possibly, transformational -- moment in the history of the Conservative Party, and of the country. I remain disgusted, frankly, that his bid slimly failed for the most transparently transactional and pecuniary reasons (supply management), particularly now that the United States has offered a reasonable opening position for an exit plan, to which, apparently, the current Canadian representation is incapable of responding.

Regardless, this latest development is certainly a very fine moment for Max. It makes me proud, actually, and somewhat hopeful for the country. Hopefully, the Tories don't lose him...

An outstanding display of spine Max...

This poor excuse for a human being is my MP here in Whitby (as Prince would have said - 'The town formerly known as Whiteby'.

I've sent a few 'suggestions' to her (office) over the past 2 years - all were boilerplate Lib replies.

Let me be clear that my issues with Bernier's girlfriend have to do with her (fine, alleged) ties to organized crime. I don't care if Bernier likes to hump water buffalo; I do care if a transnational drug smuggling, prostitution and gun running enterprise has influence over the PMO. Especially if he's prone to leaving confidential state documents lying around the house.

The Liberal MP is a racist. Her apology was insincere. I'm glad he didn't accept it.

who the f is andy sheer?

Kudos to Max!

Hard to believe you have to go to Quebec to find balls in the Conservative Party.

But then again, who knew that Albertans were dumb enough to be sitting on a sh*tpile of oil and vote for the anti-oil party.

I hear Newfies use Dumb Albertan when they are really laughing at you.
