    1. That Max certainly is a menace. How dare he threaten corporate welfare! Jobs will be a thing of the past if that happens! At least, that’s what the Laurentian elite keeps saying, and the voters keep buying. You know, the Lib/CPC ruling class that make their living off corporate welfare and other corruption. That would be a betrayal of da Canadian values.

      Those PPC-supporting types are not just a menace, they are disgusting, sub-human low-lifes! And Andy Scheer is nothing less than noble, for stopping Max! If the lowlifes supporting Max won’t do what’s right, well, then, the CPC members will do what’s right, and work with Liberal Party to restore the moral order. Take that, insolent PPC scum!

      1. Scheer is likely Fully supported by the Desmarais Family of Power Corp Fame – Your TRUE Laurentien Elite and the defacto REAL Power in Quebec and as such, Canada.

        1. steakman, according to this article which was posted on a thread here a few days ago, Max Bernier and Peter Mckay are both Paul Desmarais boys.

          http://www.mediacoop.ca/story/meet-canada%E2%80%99s-ruling-oligarchy-parasites-plenty/10917

          Desmarais and Power Corp. are compared to the Rockefellers, with huge influence over every aspect of Canada’s political and business realm. It’s why I don’t see us ever becoming Venezuela North, Power Corp simply won’t allow it. If Alberta sold the entire oil sands to Power Corp., those pipelines would be finished in about 18 months and the product would be flowing to markets all over the world.

      1. After selecting Scheer as the party leader, we deserve to get Trudeau. The country is finished anyway. At this point there is no recovery no matter who is in power

  2. Translation of Andy Sche(m)ers “ common ground “: “ We will do what Justin says is in the nation’s best interests.” Just like in the renegotiation of NAFTA.

    Anyone who believes a PM Schemer would do anything but say “amen” to the carbon tax, is out of their effing mind. In the interest of common ground and national unity.

    1. Scheer has already said the carbon tax will be gone if elected.
      You PPC types are the ones who are delusional.
      A conservative party cannot get elected in this country without courting the centre.

      2. Look at Scheer’s record on enviro issues. Look at the things he’s said and done over his lifetime with regards to carbon dioxide. If you believe for one second he’d actually remove the carbon tax, at least without replacing it with an even worse scheme, you’re not paying attention.

  3. “Vote for your values” sounds reasonable but with the government in power right now our “values” seem to have changed,
    If they get another term our “values” will be their values,totally socialistic in nature, and we will not recognize what this country was built on or stands for.

    I for one will not support Max, he cannot win power but he will allow the Liberal Cabal another term with their wrecking ball if Conservatives vote for him. If we are not smarter than that we don’t deserve power either.

    It’s quite serious. Take a look at the mess we are in with China and how that’s being handled. McCallum should be removed from his Ambassadorship to China. He is not up to the job, the fact his wife is Chinese is not a qualification. His excuse is really pathetic, he said he didn’t mean what he said, eh what? It wasn’t an off hand quip, it was slow and clear what he said, he had time to correct it if he misspoke.

    1. I think we’ll be in for a mess if the People hold their noses and strategically vote for Andy. More of the Liberal Cabal if the vote is split. If we are not smart enough to see the waste in throwing votes away on 2% Andy, we deserve what we get.

      1. Wrong.
        We could not be in more of a mess having Trudeau re-elected. A vote for Max could do that.
        If you think Max can win this, you really have no experience discussing politics.
        No one knows who he is.
        He’s not a team player.
        He had multiple chances to shine in the Harper cabinet and dropped the ball every time.
        It’s all about Max.
        He will say things that will never happen because he will never be held accountable to keeping a promise by getting elected.
        He will be lucky if he wins his seat.
        This county will be in dire straights if sockboy get’s four more years.
        The only party that can realistically win is CPC with Scheer.
        He needs to be given that chance.
        For Canada’s future.

        2. If Sockboy gets re-elected with a Majority…?
          Alberta will say Adios MoFo’s.
          We are done….bet on it.

          I think you will find many many Albertans, especially those of US that had to live through his Fathers time, will vote for MAX….as i am inclined to do because in the end, It really won’t matter to us who becomes the Next PM. I have ZERO faith in Scheers ability or desire to do a damned thing for the West. Seemingly too far up the (_i_) of Power Corp. and other Laurentien Elites.

          As for the rest of the country…?
          YOU Voted him in – then YOU Deal with that 2 bit Globalist phuque.
          We are out.

    2. McCallum is an oaf without an original opinion in his head. He most likely was delivering a message from Justupid (Butts) who are vicariously kissing Chinese ass.

    3. Lizj, why do you want McCallum to resign?! John McCallum is a HUGE embarrassment to Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party of Canada, and believe me the CPC is going to need all the ammunition they can get to defeat Trudeau.

      If Scheer had any ability at political intrigue,he’d send McCalluma case of scotch and stfu about his public utterances.

      “Misspoke”? The word actually means,”not speaking clearly,mumbling”, but the current illiterates in the msm and political realm use it to describe anything a politician says in a rare moment of truthfulness.

      They would be a lot more accurate if they simply said,”I f***ed up and actually said how I really feel”, and then issue the usual insincere apology.

      1. Exactly. McCallum is a CPC asset. If nothing else it helps alert the honest media as to just incompetent the PM Butts cabinet is.

  5. Scheer’s CPC message is no different than previous leadership including Harper. It is nuanced to fit eastern Canada’s political needs or perceptions. It is a ‘vote for me’ rather than Turdeau because I am smarter, Turdeau is stupid and by the way Turdeau is a socialist with a silver spoon history. For fiscal conservatives like me the message behind closed doors is we hear you but we have to be in power to engage in that agenda.

    Bernier has free rein to talk the talk but we have no idea whether he can be trusted to delivery on his philosophy or not. There is no doubt he understands that populism can work well enough to get some seats which can give him a national podium. He saw this work for Manning. He has the opportunity to add a segment of grassroots populism from Quebec that Reform could not capture.

    The same reality that supported Turdeau still exists today. Middle class Canadians continue to slide downward in standard of living. Many of these people voted for a almost farcical character, Turdeau, because they did not see a big downside. Do these people stay the course, vote Scheer or really gamble on a Dipper or Max? As a Westerner I no longer care about the east. The election of Kenney in Ab has more impact on where the West goes. IMHO his election is more important than the federal one. AB is already in a serious financial situation. I suspect Kenney will address that using possible radical solutions. I can see disruption of east-west trade and serious national ultimatums. The West has long sought a leader who could force change or lead the West out. I suggest that Jason Kenney or Brad Wall have those creditentials.

    1. Oh great, a comment from the Cult of Brad Wall. Welcome to The People’s Temple, with Reverend Wall.

      Have you chosen a site for Walltown yet? I hear Guyana has great real estate.

      1. Wall ain’t gonna separate. Moe ain’t gonna separate. Kenney ain’t gonna tear up rail lines.

        The person we need right now, is Gabriel Dumont. But we don’t have him.

        Geotge S. Patton would probably also suggest the correct course of action.

        Chamberlain/Scheer/Wall/Moe/Kenney you’re just praying that the crocodile eats you last.

    2. “…the message behind closed doors is we hear you but we have to be in power to engage in that agenda.” Harper’s western MP’s had 10 years in power and they spent their whole time saying this. Nothing will get fixed by the current crop of CPC MP’s either. At best they will give us a slight reprieve before the the next Liberal government shows westerns who is boss again.

      1. That is so true. The Laurentian Elite with the Power Corp control this country to their benefit.

    3. For fiscal conservatives like me the message behind closed doors is we hear you but we have to be in power to engage in that agenda.

      CT

      They know the mark, as only a con man, can.

    4. The only thing going for Wall is that he was not NDP. His government was just as corrupt as any NDP government. He believes in AGW and infant genocide. CC&S and the GTH are two of his notable scams. Anyone who believes the current Wall will lead the west out of confederation has an IQ only slightly above that of a potato.

  7. There are people who say Scheer “would not be much different from Trudeau”.

    I ask, has anyone ever seen both Clark Kent and Superman together in the same room, at the same time?

    I posit, that voting Trudeau, or voting Scheer, makes zero difference in any category you care to choose. I think Scheer would even keep Trudeau’s current cabinet. And his current PMO. And Butts. And we would see Scheer photo bombing people instead of Trudeau.

    1. You’re wrong. Very wrong. Scheer may not be conservative enough for many conservatives, but he’s way better than Trudeau. Right now he’s just trying to avoid giving the Liberal’s media branch any ammo to attack him with.

      1. IPolitics is about persuasion. By mimicking Trudeau, Sche(m)er is doing nothing to persuade new people to support the CPC. They are incumbents who are sacrificing their constituents desire for changes in policy to their own desire to get re-elected safely. There is no way they will achieve a majority with this approach. So the voters who vote CPC need to change their incentives. Vote for Max, and knock a few out of their offices. The rest of the herd will take note that stand pat is maybe a ticket to losing their comfy jobs, and, only then, will you see a change. If you are afraid that giving the CPC a smaller minority will result in bad things, you haven’t been paying attention much to what Trudles has achieved with his present majority.

        1. You’re a Liberal shill, aren’t you? That’s the only possible explanation for someone to espouse voting in a way that guarantees the Liberals hold power, all with the aim of making “the rest of the herd take note”. Sorry Scheer isn’t your dream candidate. But he’s the only politician that has a chance of beating the Liberals. He’s going to need every vote to overcome the deluge of negative propaganda coming his way from the CBC, Toronto Star, CTV, Globe and Mail, etc. If you think giving the Liberals another 4 years of rule is going to help the Conservatives in any way, you’re an idiot.

  8. All Canadian Political Parties are the same varying shades of Communism. The sheep love the Uniparties. They love heavy regulation and heavy restrictions on Freedom and Liberty. They absolutely love being whipped with heavy taxes. Because like Molson’s says, you can take it up the a*s. “I AM CANADIAN”. Canada is a Monty Python country.

  9. Yes, we coulda had Max. But now Max has decided that if he can’t be the next Conservative PM, he’s going to sabotage the whole party, and indeed the whole country, because of dairy supply management. What a tool.

    1. Agreed. Max has some good ideas and he says what people (at least in the prairie provinces where I am) want to hear. These things are easy to say, harder to do when you’re in power. But he lost and now doesn’t have the good sense or decency to accept defeat graciously. Andrew Scheer was not my first choice but I will support him, nonetheless.

    2. 2% Andy is CPC leader because of the dairy lobby. The CPC allowed itself to be sabotaged by allowing the dairy lobby to put in 2% Andy.

      1. The dairy lobby will be told the market is the market.
        Scheer cannot protect them.
        Get over it. That horse left the barn.

        1. So, “ he’s not a team player” . Sounds like for you, Bernier will change a part of the CPC platform that, for whatever reason, is dear to you. Right?

          Your way, even if that means LPC control forever; to the last ditch.

          Got it.

          That is the anti-Max position, in a nutshell.

    3. Max is all about Max, his actions tell us if he can’t be leader he will work to make sure the Conservative Party does not win, anyone supporting him may as well support the Liberal.
      Conservatives are very good at shooting their own and losing, it’s rank stupidity, something the Liberals never do.

      1. Right BobLiz, the guy was a CPC MP for 12 years and after 12 years leaves to follow a platform that he believes is best for Canada, BS that this makes him selfish. I think he is courageous. Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Good luck with the 2019 edition of “Justin, he’s just not up to the job.”

      2. The anti-Max CPC is all about their bank accounts.

        Sorry, but what’s best for Canada is the not the same thing as what’s best for swamp CPC bank accounts

  10. I’d donate my whole election donation budget to a group with a very well researched strategic voting website. That way we could get Max in some of Quebec , Alberta, Sask. Perhaps a bit of Scheer in Ontario and Manitoba and Justin would just get a smattering of Quebec , the Maritime Loafer vote , Toronto and BC Moonbats. Any variation with Scheer in the lead but accountable would be acceptable

    1. I don’t think you get how elections in Canada work, Bob. Remember when there was the Reform party and the Progressive Conservative party? 20 years of Liberals in power because the two right leaning parties were splitting the votes of conservatives.

      1. That strategy worked because Chretien was able to lump westerners and Reform into one group and label them the “other”.
        Max has an advantage in that if the liberals start attacking Max that way they have to attack his local base in Quebec as well, then if they try the same type of attack on Scheer, and how “he’s one of those anti Canadian westerners ” and attack Ford’s supporters in Ontario, who do the liberals have left that they haven’t offended?
        It may not work out that way, I’m just pointing out that the outcome of the next election is not predetermined.
        Ask yourself this. Are liberals enthusiastic about their federal leader currently?

        1. “Are liberals enthusiastic about their federal leader currently?”

          Some Liberals may not be enthusiastic about Trudeau,but they will NEVER admit that out loud. Good Liberals,and I have several in my family, accept the Leader as he is,if the Leader changes tomorrow, they accept the new person, and on and on forever.
          I have lived with Liberal relatives through: Pearson,Trudeau, Turner, Chretien, Martin, Dion, Iggy and Justin, and I never heard ONE word of criticism from any of them on any of that illustrious group of Liberal Leaders.

          The Liberals know that Power is all that counts, and they will follow anyone who they think will lead them to power, while we conservatives flail about like a drunken Diogenes trying to find the perfect Leader.

          I like Max and wanted him to win the CPC leadership, but Scheer won and if we want to replace Trudeau as PM, we had better accept the fact that Scheer might have a chance,Max has none. Max might get lucky and win a couple of old Block seats in Quebec, but I doubt he’ll make any impression anywhere else in Canada.

          1. You are right. Unless things change in some manner to clarify how things stand we have to vote for Scheer as distasteful as that is. I am sorry I ever supported that Liberal lite. But I have not given him one thin dime yet. I have given a donation to my local MP and to Max, but I refuse to support a Paris Accord supporter.

        1. Mike,it WAS only 13 years,but to many of us it seemed like 20, or 50. It was SO much fun having the Montreal Mafia in the government.

      3. This is a lot more than splitting votes left right and center.

        I think you all who think we can continue the status quo as what happened in the past are overlookeking so many things.

        Why does it feel illegal to be a Christian in Canada today.

        Why is it if I disagree with the news, msm I am labeled a hater.

        This is happening across the board left right and center.

        Their are many more awake on the transgressions of our current federal laughingstock of a world government.

        Remember Saudi Arabia remind us of a Canadian 911 Planes and all for Toronto.

        Everything has changed so much since Castro Kid came to power in Canada, we all feel even the fools that you laugh at. So since so much has changed change is what we’re heading towards you better pick vote for the right one pun intended.

        I want a bull in a china canada shop, hello Max …

  11. I think strategic voting worked for the left with the help of the media party to get rid of Harper. That or who has the best hair style will always win out in Canada.

    1. Strategic voting works for the left because there are more Canadians that identify as left. The can afford to have their votes split in Toronto, because they get over 60% of the votes there. Strategic voting will NOT work for the right. Max will steal votes in key races in Ontario. He will also give the Liberals a chance of picking up a few seats in western urban centers like Calgary and Edmonton. Seriously, if you have a problem with the Conservative Party platform, it needs to be addressed from within at the conventions and by talking to the members. Quitting and starting your own party is a guaranteed failure for all conservatives.

  12. The whole thing is a mute cause. Fully 60% + of voters do not support the conservative option and most of those find it distasteful. The NDP is leaderless and most of those will vote Liberal at any hint of conservative strength. Justin will promise a guaranteed annual income paid for by the rich, will save the climate ( most of the 60% jones for that koolaid ) and Justin has already bought and paid for the MSM. Case in point , I recently have been reading about the 16 dollar orange juice and the 60 thousand paid back. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands on pleasure craft ,millions on a temporary rink, ethics violations and grouping ( and that is just scraping the surface ) generate barely a whisper. Any hint of conservative strength will bring on a firestorm of criticism and there is a far to large portion of more than ready to believe. Many believe separation talk is just idle whining of a few. I think that the results of the next election will show that the status quo simply does not work for the disaffected areas of Canada. I don’t believe many of the people in these areas are prepared to sit quietly and be taxed and legislated into poverty. Meanwhile in Saskatchewan we will be lucky if we can even manage to get rid of Ralph in the next election.

  13. The sheer stupidity of the Scheer versus Bernier vote splitting comedy,moves me..to cheers.
    Trudeau Two act Two,ie a second term of the current Liberal party will solidify Western Independence into an unstoppable force.
    Why do I care which Uni-Party shill is Prime Minister of Confederated Canada?
    The confederation is broken,F.U.B.A.R being the most accurate description.
    Confederation is out to destroy the west,has been for decades and nothing is going to change,regardless of who reigns in Ottawa.
    Look to the future,what can you forsee?
    Under all current paths and most discussed forward planning the East continues to see the west as a Milk Cow,a sure source of funding to finance the social engineering of the huge vote blocs in the east.
    With crushing taxes leveed on the young people of the west to pay for the pensions of the rapidly aging population points east.
    While actively sabotaging all wealth creation in the West these centrist idiots will demand ever more funds for their own purposes.
    Leadership is almost irrelevant, the taxpayers have been pushed to revolt and there is no sign of letup from any of the Parasitic Parties.

    Parasites can not be negotiated.

  15. If Scheer and Bernier truly cared about saving the future of this once great nation, they would work to reconcile their differences and ‘unsplit’ the vote.

    Scheer, what a goddam fool. He could have continued his PC CBC-appeasing ways and had Bernier as his right-hand attack dog. But no, he was not man or leader enough to manage an alpha male within his party’s ranks. They could have ‘good cop/bad copped’ CBC into a tizzy with a spirited display of what true diversity in a party actually looks like.

    Scheer is weak and the very Canadian media that he regularjy appeases will eat him alive when they eventually turn their mind to it.

    1. EXACTLY!

      Max’s quitting the CPC said as much about Scheer’s pathetic leadership as it did about Max’s poor ability to accept he lost the leadership.

      Scheer as PM of a CPC government, in its current form, will NOT materially change things in this country for the better. Most likely it would simply “mark time” until the Liberals got back into power and continued marching the country left.

      Who to vote for? Doesn’t freaking matter, really. The country’s gone too far left to save.

  17. Well, all the evidence is here in the comments; the Conservative Party of Canada is officially a cult.

    Unconditional support from the faithful, regardless of success or failure.

    My advice, you cannot argue with religion. So stop trying.

    When they pass out the Koolaid in Scheertown, just don’t be there if you can avoid it.

    Time to just vote Liberal. Whatever will push the urge to fight higher in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

    Every incumbent nationwide, has been there the whole time. Every professional civil servant nationwide, has been there the whole time. None of them have done anything to fix anything. None of them have done anything but manufacture new problems. None of them have done anything, but push for more personal wealth at the expense of you.

    If you are not at full homicidal maniac rage at this point, you are irrelevant. You are useless in all the inevitable fights to come.

    1. Well, all the evidence is here in the comments; the Conservative Party of Canada is officially a cult. Kevin

      With full respect, it is an organization which looks out only for the bank accounts of its insiders, the rest of Canada be damned.

      They say they want a majority, their actions tell the true story.

    2. no, it’s not a cult. Some of us realize that a shitty leader winning for the Conservatives is still better than losing to the Liberals.

      1. I for one don’t give a damn what you say, I will not be voting Conservative. They left me, not the other way around. And there really is no voting our way out of this mess. If I vote at all it will be PPC. Scheer is a nobody to me just like the turd. They’re one and the same.

  18. @ J Robertson.

    I fully agree. The REAL Power in this Country is the Desmarais Family of Powr Corporation – Your Laurentien elites. They are the force that pushes – pulls the levers of power in not only Quebec but Federally as well.

    As you state, the West is the CASH Cow – Quebec & the Maritimes the Benefactors.
    Daddy Trudea cost many of us out here PLENTY…his Disgusting Spawn continuing down that road…I’ve had enough of their Bullshit.

    It is time to stop being a Colonial Vassal State…. long overdue for Alberta to go it alone.

  19. Remember all of you, Scheer whipped his MPs into supporting the Paris Accord fraud. Even Max must have voted for it unless he was absent that day. Only Cheryl Gallant had brass ones and voted against.

    1. Cheryl Gallant is not pushover, she takes a lot of flak but she is never bought, she has a good read of what the people in her riding want from her and she delivers. She wins by huge margins every election. She is a true Conservative, we need more Cheryl Gallants.

  20. The Paris Accord was the first warning that Scheer wasn’t who we thought he was.
    If Scheer doesn’t get traction soon and Max does, there could be a stampede to Max in the month before the election. That’s happened before. BTW, Scheer is my MP and I told his canvasser that.

    1. Max doesn’t have the candidates. He doesn’t have the resources. He doesn’t have the district-level ground game. He doesn’t have TIME to GET any of these things to be any kind of force in October.

      If he were serious about building a viable party to supplant the CPC, he’d have had to start small. Recruit a handful of great candidates, run in just a few select ridings, and get butts in seats. Build from there. If he really wants to do this, he’s got to be willing to play the long game. It took TWENTY YEARS from the start of Reform to having Stephen Harper sworn in, and that included the 10+ years that the PC party was a zombie. Max can’t short-circuit the process, much as he’d like to. If he tries, he’ll just destroy himself & his party before it ever has a chance to get off the ground.

      1. It took TWENTY YEARS from the start of Reform to having Stephen Harper sworn in, and that included the 10+ years that the PC party was a zombie. I.M.

        True enough, but if enough CPC critters bite the dust in the next election due to Max, the remaining ones will get the idea that standing pat is very dangerous to their careers. They will recognize that the only path to safety will be to modify the CPC platform to accomodate their concerns.

        1. This circles back to Max carefully choosing candidates to run and ridings in which to run them. If it’s the CPC he’s after, then he would need to find say, the 10 most vulnerable CPC MPs in ridings that are likely to be receptive to a strong PPC candidate as opposed to just going Liberal if there were a vote split. Then he’s gotta go get those candidates and get a ground game organized in those ridings, with the goal of unseating perhaps 3 to 4 of those MPs. Enough to be shown that he has to be taken seriously.

          I don’t see ANY sign that he’s doing any of this. He seems to be mostly running around giving interviews and speeches. The way he’s going, he’s likely to end up with a “protest vote” in the single digits, no seats (maybe not even himself), and no future.

          1. I.M. The media has billions of dollars to spend slandering anyone who runs under the PPC banner. I suspect that anyone who runs for them will be a “neo nazi white supremecist” before the election campaign even gets of the ground.

  21. Scheer is just another liberal. Maybe it was foolish of Max to leave the party, maybe not. One of the biggest issue’s we have in our country today is the lack of the eastern pipeline. That needs to happen and now. Max can make that happen. The new premier of New Brunswick has suggested there be a right of way utility corridor be put in place across Canada, that to me makes sense. Put the pipelines and power lines there. Canadians on both coasts need to be using Canada’s crude oil not some third world product.

    I believe we are not very away from some free energy technology coming on stream, what will that do to our crude oil markets. Canada better get setup to compete, whatever that price is, a pipeline would be part of that equation.

    Another question is, what was Harper and his people doing while they were in office? A pipeline should have been built then and it was not. He was trying pacify everyone and got nothing done. Now look were the CPC is, with a total fence sitting liberal at the helm.

    Today, our country has many voices in the west talking of separation. Who can blame them. Eco terrorist Butts and the politically correct idiot Trudeau, I think are vastly under estimating this threat, they could very well go down in history as the people who actually split the nation. It comes back to economics and the pipeline every time.

    Max is correct, we have way to much crony capitalism in our country, from our banks, finance, telecoms, medical, energy, education, shipping and even agriculture (who did I miss). If some very serious changes are not made in the near future, there are a whole lot of folks who thought they were going have a nice fat pension cheque coming every month are going to deeply disappointed. We are a high cost jurisdiction.

    1. I think Harper came to believe that his ultimate purpose was to see the Liberal party reduced to ash. The Liberals were at, what, two dozen seats and desperate enough to pick Justin as leader. Harper thought if he could win one more election, it’d put the stake through their heart and finish them forever. So he tried playing “nice doggy” with every file, not doing much of anything, because he didn’t want to give any cause to scare off all those would-be Liberal voters. But the media savaged him at every turn anyway, and the NDP wave in Quebec proved to be made of quicksand. You could tell that the party knew the gig was up when cabinet ministers started retiring in the runup to the vote. They knew they were toast and that Harper’s strategy had failed. Toss in a lacklustre campaign (because, again, they knew they were cooked) on their part, a disastrous one by the NDP, the media cheerleading for dear Justin at every turn (when they weren’t busy roasting Harper), and that was all she wrote.

      1. I. M.
        …..”Harpers strategy had failed?”

        He really had none…
        But someone else did, they call it voter “strategy.”

        Wink.

  22. What “conservatives” need to accomplish this coming election is do what liberals and ndp voters did in the past election and vote strategically.

    Identify the ridings where team Max has a better chance to beat the liberals than Team Andy but letting them go at one another would let the liberals run up the middle. In those areas where team Andy supporters exchange their vote for team Max, another team Max voter like me, in a safe team Andy riding, like Grande Prairie Mackenzie, where Chris Warkentin received 38,000 votes to 7800 nearest competitor, but there’s plenty of wild rose/reform/Max voters (we sent a wild rose mha in last election) who’s vote would be better used in a safer team Max riding.

    I think we gonna see more of a minority govt situation next election and maybe Team Max could 10-15 sears and the Team Andy win enough to hold minority status should be the goal for team Max. (As someone eluded to earlier about running only a handful of really good candidates instead of 300+ candidates.)

  23. I will not vote for an utter fake conservative like Scheer… period. 4 more years of Trudeau would be little different than 4 years of Scheer. Max or nothing.

  24. 68.5% of eligible voters voted in 2015.
    An increase over previous election or voter fraud?
    So where are,who are the 31% who never vote?
    Are these the true conservors of Canada,who rightly refuse to vote because none of those running represent them in any way?
    Or are they another kind of voter,well nonvoter really,who see no point as no matter who wins the results are always the same?
    Who are those people?

    if Max can gather those votes, politics in Canada might get interesting.

    1. I would like someone to point out just what government has done of value in Canada since 1945.

  26. Did you guys learn nothing from Trump’s victory?

    Everyone, now, go and buy a copy of Scott Adam’s Win Bigly. Read it. Understand it. Especially the bit about ‘pacing and leading’. Since I’ve adopted that approach with others, I find it works extremely well. I won’t use it here because you really need to be hit on the head.

    PACING AND LEADING. PACING AND LEADING. PACING AND LEADING.

    You morons think the way to win Quebec is to insult them directly, tell them you’ll ignore their wishes, and ram a pipeline down their throats. Ya, that’ll work great. Adams’ advice, and Trump’s technique, is to march in step, so they see you as a FRIEND and not an enemy. Then they will listen to you, and not just turn you off.

    Admit it: how many of you actually listen to Trudeau? I hardly ever do, because I basically loathe him, but I saw a recent excerpt from a town-hall where he seemed reasonable. But he’ll never get a chance to win me over, regardless of how reasonable he seems, because he’s already established that he’s my ENEMY. He’s against everything that I think is important: holding on to values that built this nation, standing up to the threat of theocratic Islam’s “revanche de la creche”, reversing the tide on the whole gender idiocy, and keeping his hands off my money. So I’ll never give him a chance to redeem himself, even if he were to have a sudden, serious change, and cast off “Canadian Liberalism” forever.

    So, right out of the gate, your advice to Scheer is alienate wide swathes of the electorate? They don’t even know who he is yet – his name recognition is terrible but growing – and the first impression they should get of him is “dictator”? I don’t think you know much about winning elections.

    Mad Max is trying to emulate Trump, but he’s in the wrong type of electoral system. Trump just had to win the popular vote (I think he did, if you don’t count all the illegals); Max has to win in too many places. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it right up until the election: a vote for Max is a vote for Pierre Jr. Please, please, please – stop cutting off your noses to spite your face. That’s how we got 13 years of Cretin.

  27. Not only is Scheer awful for many reasons, his ‘appease Quebec’ strategy will fail JUST LIKE IT DID FOR EVERYONE ELSE BEFORE HIM. Quebec is forever enticing Conservatives at a distance and then turning into a sinkhole up close. This is reinforced by the recent poll showing that Quebec was the ONLY province that didn’t consider the lack of pipelines an emergency. I am rather surprised at BC. This means the ‘appease Quebec’ strategy is exactly wrong. Further, stop treating Quebec like a single unit.
