    1. You mean that guy who claims to be the ‘co-creator’ of the Conservative Party. He’s in the race to be irrelevant. The others may care but things have changed since Harper’s day that even Max will not solve the Canadian Dilemma.

  1. Don’t Really care. Voting Wexit.
    Still hoping for Leslyn To scare the hell out of Blackie but that won’t change my vote.

  2. Voting Wexit. 50 years of voting Conservative just to get disappointed every time. No more. My vote is for the Republic of Alberta. Nothing less. Time for the piss to go in the direction it has been coming from the last 115 years.

  3. Libcons blah blah blah, Wexit etc etc etc, Maxipad yada yada yada,

    You should care, like it or not they are still the best chance of defeating Libranos, and that means they are the best chance for you to keep your guns. But no, don’t listen to logic, First tell me how you have hidden your guns/boating accident and all that bullshit. Second repeat one after another how you don’t care, bonus points when you do it while handing your guns to the RCMP goons that will come to collect them.

    1. I don’t have any guns, so F-O. Still not voting for these schmucks. Ever. WEXIT! Valdez Alaska. Look it up.

      1. So you don’t care about gun rights? Ok then. How about property rights? Still no?

        As for Wexit, good luck. I mean it, the sooner Canada collapses the better. Still I wonder how are you going to accomplish Wexit with Redmonton and Nenshitown choosing to stay.

    2. You are a special kind of stupid to register your guns knowing full well the government now knows you have them and can take them away. That’s like telling a burglar the combination to your safe. I can see McKay caving to the anti gun lobby whimpering like the little sump he is.

      1. Ok so you either have no idea what the gun laws in Canada are and don’t have a gun or are a criminal. In any case, how are you planning to practice with your no longer legal guns? Do tell. Are you a gunsmith too? Where are you going to get parts if something needs replacement?

        1. I am a criminal gun owner. Big deal. I don’t go to gun ranges. I shoot on my own land or just head out to the bush. My man has Never had a problem sourcing parts from friends.

          I don’t think you understand what it’s like out here.

          1. Sourcing parts? You got a never ending supply? I don’t think you have clue what you’re talking about. And even if you truly were that backwoods Rambo that will only last you for so long and there aren’t many of you left. Good luck with that.

            As for being stupid and registering my guns? How else you propose someone who isn’t a backwoods Rambo like you is supposed to obtain a restricted firearm in Canada?

            Also, I take you don’t care about gun rights in general? Is that true? As long as you get to hide in your bushes undisturbed you’re fine with the police state?

          2. I am quite sure that the Colon will never use any of his registered guns in defense against the police state.

          3. Colonialist is a city boy from back east I’m guessing. I don’t think he understands what it’s like in rural western Canada. There are no cops in rural western Canada. It’s a crisis. We rely on each other for security. And you cannot confiscate guns that no one knows you have. So who cares what the law says.

          4. If only you worth explaining how pathetic and immoral your position is. But you’re not worth it, because you’re mostly fake.

    3. If by “keep your guns” you have any notion that a Conservative government would roll back the recent garbage “assault weapons” ban, you are sadly mistaken. Canada is a stupid country filled with stupid voters. The gun ban is popular in the vote-rich urban centres, even though it’s completely useless as a crime prevention measure. Urban voters are ignorant and do not want to be educated on this topic. If the Conservatives touch that ban, the Liberals will roast them for it and the media will happily add fuel to the fire, and the Conservatives will be too scared of losing what urban voters they have to dare try.

      As Canada continues her unstoppable march towards eco-green hippie woke socialist ruin, whatever Canada will be in a decade or two will make us long for what the country looks like today. This country’s TOAST.

      1. You seriously need an answer to this? You know that Libranos will not let you keep them for sure. You know that gun owners made some gains when Harper was in power (yes not enough, of course not enough, shut up about Harper delivering only a fraction of what we wanted, already). You know that all candidates in the CPC leadership race are on the record explicitly promising to reverse Librano reforms and the recent gun ban. You may know that we (the grass roots supporters) have flooded their mailboxes demanding action. You may know that we have made our future support both financial and voting conditional on this issue. When we voted (via mail) for the leaders we were asked to send a copy of our ID, we sent them a copy of our PAL. So they probably understand that betrayal is not in their interest regardless of where they stand on the issue. Do I know they will not turn on us? Of course not. Do we have a better realistic feasible option? Of course not. Period.

  4. “Finally, there is the inability of any of the four current rivals for the Conservatives’ top job to articulate policies that differ noticeably from the Liberals’.”

    That’s all that has to be said.

  5. they will just vote in another fool who wanks off about gays and /or abortions, and viola libtards win again

  6. If McKay wins I’m out. I’d probably still pretend so I could meet him and tell him what an absolute CUCK he is to his face while shaking hands for a picture. How’s Belinda doing Peter?

    1. How’s Belinda doing Peter?

      I get the impression that when he wins, he’s going to be a sore winner. (“See, Belinda? You could have been a prime minister’s wife!”)

  7. Are they picking Scheer the second, or Joe Who the third? Just wondering what everyone thinks.

  8. For the record, I care, and I know many who do.

    If the complaint, at a certain level, is that this has gone on way too long, and should have been decided in April, or something, no sane person could remotely argue with that.

    On the other hand, I’d have been quite happy with Andrew Scheer running another time — he made a few mistakes, as did Stephen Harper in 2004, but Mr. Scheer pulled out the popular vote, proving every polling firm wrong on the last day before the election (by an average of 2.7%, to the Tories favour), doing much better than Mr. Harper did on his first try as Conservative leader (I voted for Harper seven times, actually, beginning with the Perth-Wellington by-election in 2003 — I voted Alliance in that one, against my friend and five-time Tory MP Gary Schellenberger; I later served as his Official Agent twice).

    Mr. Gunter may know something about Western Canada, I guess, but he certainly doesn’t know much about Ontario. If he did, he would know the following:

    1. Every riding along the 401 between the City of Windsor and the City of Hamilton (except for most of London — my wife’s cousin is the MP for part of it) is Tory, as is part of Hamilton: we lost Windsor-Tecumseh by 538 votes (the last Liberal riding in SW Ontario — and another of my wife’s cousins is married to the daughter of Paul Martin, Sr.’s tailor — it’s convoluted, for sure).

    2. The “triangle” includes, by the way, many Tory ridings in Eastern Ontario along the 401, including, I believe, Mr. Jamie MacMaster’s — and Derek Sloan’s, if I’m not mistaken. And Pierre Poilievre’s.

    3. The Liberals will not have the opportunity to pin any “blame” on Doug Ford this time, as he’s been professional, concise and, dare I say, “caring” (plus weight loss — he looks good). A Trooper, actually.

    4. The Morneau resignation is a heavy blow to the Liberals: there’s an old saying in some parts, “Who’s the necktie?” Well, the necktie just left. The talent pool is gone, now, and we need to unwind this financial mess, and live with the virus, such as it is.

    5. If Jason Kenney (last I checked, he’s the landslide majority Premier of Alberta) says Erin O’Toole, that’s good enough for me.

    1. Thanks for your post. Most will not listen, still glad to see some sanity added to the debate dominated by the Kamikadze Club.

      “…we lost Windsor-Tecumseh by 538 votes…”

      NDP lost Windsor-Tecumseh to Libranos. CPC was a distant third. Even with Maxipad votes going CPC it would not matter.

    2. The reason we don’t care is because the country is going down the toilet no matter who wins. We could have the best conservative government in the history of conservative governments and they could do everything in their power to repair the country and it would make no difference. Canada is a socialist country. Most people vote for socialist parties. We will have to go full Venezuela before there is a chance of people seeing the light, but even then they likely won’t. For the last 50 years the government has made a concerted effort to replace Canadians with the third world. They’ve succeeded. Canada is now a third world country and there is no desire, or ability to change it. Canada was made into a third world country by both Liberal and Conservative governments and all the polls show that Canadians like living in a third world country. My country means nothing to me anymore. Trudeau was right when he said we are a “post national state”. It’s a fact whether we like it or not. The best plan going forward for the individual is to recognize that and plan your life and your children’s lives around the fact that you now live in a third world dump. Politics and elections will not change a thing at this time.

      ““Finally, there is the inability of any of the four current rivals for the Conservatives’ top job to articulate policies that differ noticeably from the Liberals’.”

      That’s all that has to be said.”

      When there is going to be no detectable difference in any aspect of your life, over any time frame, whether Trudeau stays PM, whether he is defeated, whether its the CPoC or NDP or Greens that do it, ….

      If you want an actual conservative party, then your support has to actually be conditional. If all anyone has to do to guarantee your vote and donations for the rest of time is have “conservative” in their name, ….

      It will be enjoyable watching the wailing and gnashing of teeth as this party fails, and all the die hards continue to make all the same mistakes that resulted in failure the first 12 times they formed yet another political party.

      I voted for Harper. I did not get enough results. My support has been withdrawn. Talk is cheap. When the CBC is gone, come talk to me.

  9. The enemy is the media … period. Without it, the Progs couldn’t win a baking contest.
    So, until the CPC has a leader who recognizes this fact and does all out war with the media, they will never win because the media will drive the agenda. And, by win, I mean even if the CPC takes the house, the media will drive the agenda. Scheer was a complete and pathetic wimp when it came to dealing with the media …. as soon as they pushed, he turtled. I fear that even though this new crop have a little more spunk, I get no sense that any of them can do battle with the media … and if they can’t, we lose.

    Great leaders set the agenda, and when they can’t, they take the lemons and make lemonade or redirect. In Canada, the media rules … and it is my enemy. Why vote for a leader who doesn’t do battle with my enemy, and has no idea how to deal with it.

    1. Bingo Pavel. If we had a media that was as ardently conservative as it is progressive, Canada would be a different nation.

    2. Why vote for a leader who is for mass third world immigration into Canada? If you choose to vote, you are voting for a leader who believes in mass third world immigration because they all do. It’s the only issue that has ever mattered, it is the only issue that all parties supported and the damage is now done. Canada is a third world country, and nothing can fix it. Once you have changed the people, you have changed the country. When you live in a third world country you pretty much have to expect third world corruption, third world economics and third world crime. The best plan is to learn to live with it because that is who we now are.

  10. Unfortunately with your Parliamentary System there is no way, short of a complete national disaster that will shake up and remake your existing government in one or even two or three elections. There are too many politicians owned by special interests that want to maintain the status quo, even if the nation is falling apart. Just keep it together one more election, one more year, just until I retire!

    All I hear you all saying is that none of your candidates will change anything important; and that none of them are even willing to try.

    How long to the total disaster, and will a) Canada, and b) you personally, survive that disaster.

  11. Yup I choose not to care.
    I see little from the East that shares my values,doubt that we have much in common.
    An Independent West that starts out with an austerity plan and refuses to recreate the welfare and waste governance of fools and bandits,will thrive.
    For making it known there is no future in “government service” will clean out Redmonton in short order.
    Calgary will collapse before that ,thanks to the Purple Prince.
    An tongue in cheek “crush the parasites” campaign should become an annual festival.
    Government is good,in very small doses.
    For us to have great government.
    Let us have a miniscule dosage.
    Crush the bureaus.
    Let civil service be serving in the militia,elect our sheriffs and plain english our laws.
    For ignorance of the law is harmful to civil society,but laws without meaning are deadly.
    The corrupt governance we have come to call normal,in our glorious Kleptocracy of Confederated Can Ahh Duh,is toxic to all that is good about a technological civilization.
    We cannot continue as too many voters,seek to be paid for the work others do and vote for the oldest lie.
    Robbing Peter to pay Paul,is hugely supported by all the “Pauls”,but then Peter stops working..
    Our parasites are so entrenched,they pass laws to impoverish Peter even further,intending to get him working again.
    For otherwise?
    They starve.

    1. As much as I would like to see it there will be no turning back, away or aside. The track we are on will end in disaster financially and physically because the mindset of the majority across Canada is one of socialism. Sadly that includes the west.

    2. What makes you think that Alberta will be any different than the rest of the country if they can become independent? The parasites of Redmonton and the Purple Prince’s Calgary are 2/3 of the population of Alberta.

      1. Unshackled from the ROC changes can be made in the constitution. Limits to the size and role of the government. Policy and regulation not execution is where government shines. Make the legislature dominant over the judiciary. Limit government spending so empires could not be built and socialist politicians can’t promise the world without identifying what will be cut to pay for utopia. Enshrine property rights. Basically take the agenda away from the professional politicians and civil service. It would be possible only separate from Trudeau (1) ‘s constitution. Not possible within confederation but barely possible under wexit.

  12. If we don’t care why are we here criticizing the crooks we have in power right now?
    If we don’t care we will have more of the same. It’s not a winning strategy to run down those running, we need to listen and choose and concentrate on getting rid of the mess we have now.

    1. We don’t care because we cared all our lives and always ended up with “more of the same” anyway. We might be slow learners, but we do eventually learn.

  13. I don’t care who leads the CPC anymore. I’m voting Wexit. After 50 years a conservative I have no cultural or economic connection with the east anymore.

  14. A correction to your comment at 11:26 pm, David.

    My riding, North Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, with its dairy farmers, French Canadians, and government cheque recipients has never been a “Tory” riding. With one brief exception, it has always been a Liberal safehouse.

    We had a pretend-conservative MP during Harper’s term. He distinguished himself prior to the 2015 election by ladling out millions upon millions to millionaires … far exceeding the taxpayer gravy distributed by any of his Liberal predecessors His tactics didn’t work – a majority of the electorate stayed true to their forefathers (and traditional Liberal benefactors) and chose turdo and the Liberals.

    As Gunther pointed out, on things like covid cash-shovelling, immigration, climate change horseshit, maintenance of the dairy cartel, or perpetuation of the systemic racism lie, there is no substantive difference between the positions of any of these 4 and turdo la doo’s.

    And in a way, who can blame them? After all, a majority of our electorate continually demonstrates that it is too stupid to understand grim realities or too greedy to care. And a goodly portion of the remainder are pink Conservatives who have no stomach for plain talk or constructive action.

  15. Pierre Poilievre is the real leader of the CPC to me.

    Whichever placeholder doofus they “elect” to replace the last placeholder doofus they appointed won’t matter much.

    Until they can get Poilievre or someone of his calibre to run as leader I’m not much interested.

  16. I let my membership lapse. Not voting in the leadership. Probably not voting in the next general.

    Let’s say the CPC wins, and by wins I mean a majority, which is the only way they can govern since all the leftist parties will join forces and defeat them otherwise. What will happen? Here’s a hint. Take a look down south. That’s what’s waiting for us the next time we have a conservative government in this country.

    I’m in Ontario, but will leave for the first place that separates itself from the communist madness that’s overtaken us and creates a new nation based on the principles we still care about. Freedom, democracy, equality of opportunity, limited government, etc. Whether it’s here or down south.
