With everything that’s going wrong in Canada right now it’s good to know who’s got our back.
Like a Porcupine in a Nudist Camp
Dear CPC
Coulda Had Max
What is this man thinking? Let us totally forget this attempt to juggle with levy as not a tax. It is a tax and that’s all there is to it. Secondly the notion that should he win government he will put the money from the “levy” into a special customer account and then dictate what you’re allowed to spend it on — solar panels are good, bread is off the list — is a special kind of madness.
Update: Lorne Gunter concurs.

Still Losing The Last Election
Conservatives launched their major campaign pitch today. It’s one thing to read the dingbat details but it’s a whole other thing to watch the leader try to sell them. I’ll apologize in advance but you need to see this. (There’s 15 minutes of music and pretty pictures before anything is said.)

Update: David Akin @erinotoole says: “This is not a tax. Not a cent goes to Ottawa.” Consumer: I’m paying more at the pump no matter what. CPC: But u get credits you can spend on stuff. Consumer: Can I use it to buy anything I want? CPC: No. Only on items from a govt approved shopping list.

O’Toole goes full McKenna. You should never go full McKenna.
We will have a plan to address climate change. It will be comprehensive. And it will be serious. But make no mistake, we can’t have a green future without jobs and growth. pic.twitter.com/PWPi1VawSR

From his recent speech.
“We have now fought and lost two elections against a carbon tax because voters did not think we were serious about addressing climate change,” O’Toole said in his speech to delegates.
“And I will not allow 338 candidates to defend against the lie from the Liberals that we are a party of climate change deniers.”
If that is honestly what he thinks then his political instincts and ability to read the room are so low they can’t even be charted.
With everything that’s been going on in the country are the boomer cons really going to run with an election strategy of blue pilling their own people on climate change? 🤦♂️
How are we going to shrink the tent today Erin?
Like we do everyday! By alienating the base and sucking up to everyone who hates us.
From Spencer Fernando
In what appears to be yet another rhetorical reversal by Erin O’Toole, the Conservative leader has shifted from criticizing the Liberals for focusing on foreign aid, to now criticizing them for not spending enough.
Update- It’s working! It’s working! Oh, never mind…
The Libranos: Song Of The Smear
While Erin O’Toole faces growing backlash from Conservatives for the obvious hatchet-job he’s trying to pull on Derek Sloan, he has at least one supporter:
Justin Trudeau.
Because that’s different: Why Are Liberal MPs Silent On Federal Government Having Given COVID Relief Money To Paul Fromm Groups?
The Tolerant Left
For Leitch, the transition to private life did not go smoothly.
As parents and their children entered her clinics, she found herself dragged into discussions about her political views. In the interview, she at first said the interactions were positive, but when pressed acknowledged it was not always the case.
For parents to be concerned she had an “agenda” was not in the best interests of the children she wanted to help, Leitch said.
“It was beyond disruptive,” she said.
“For me personally, it was very uncomfortable. And I can’t imagine what it was like for the child.”
So, after encouragement from Canadian colleagues and after canvassing available jobs elsewhere, she settled on accepting a position as chief of pediatric orthopedic surgery at the children’s hospital of Mississippi and moved there last spring.
O’Toole Positive for COVID
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole has tested positive for COVID-19. The party says he is self-isolating. The Bloc also announced today that Leader Yves François Blanchet has tested positive for the virus. pic.twitter.com/CRBqxAIDgY

CPC Leadership Results
CPC Leadership results are being delayed. Apparently some ballots cannot be read by tabulators due to them being ripped or improperly shaded in.
Those ballots must be hand counted while being observed by campaign scrutineers.

Update@ 21:05: blahblahblah Scheer blahblahblah Diane Finley and then the punchline… still no results. This is the most incompetent, boring party in the history of Canadian politics.
21:42: This is so boring The Rebel is now replaying Scheer speeches at both drunk and Ben Shapiro speed.
I'm starting to suspect this is @AndrewScheer's one final "fuck you" to Canadian media. https://t.co/GqxtByVWG3

02:40am… No winner after first ballot… Lewis wins Saskatchewan, Sloan drops off, at 33.52% McKay has the most votes but little room to grow.
O’Toole wins by nearly 5,000 points over McKay.
Too Little
Too late.

CPC Leadership Race Enters Final Week
It’s probably unfair to say no one cares.

Next Question
He’s a Liberal, Vivian.
Hey…
I’ve read that the Conservative Leadership ballots are in the mail. My guess is people will be voting & mailing them in this weekend so let’s come back to this poll.
I’m curious … what are your reasons for NOT supporting @PeterMacKay?
Would be glad to hear feedback. https://t.co/F5ZODok8OI

(Someone requested a thread on the CPC leadership, so here it is.)

The issue is either Conservatives believe in freedom of conscience or they don’t.
