Rex Murphy;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brian Lilley;

Mark Gerretsen represents the Ontario riding of Kingston and the Islands. It’s a long way from Fort McMurray but that isn’t stopping the Liberal MP from not only opposing the project but spending money, perhaps your money, to shut it down.
 
Gerretsen has posted on Facebook about a petition put forward by the Queen’s University Liberals, and sponsored in the House by Gerretsen, to reject the proposal.
 
“We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to reject the proposal to build the Teck Resources Frontier Oilsands Mine in Alberta as it is not in the best interest of Canadians,” the petition reads.
 
Isn’t this the equivalent of an Alberta MP asking the federal government to shut down Ontario’s manufacturing sector? Or calling for a stop to all the tax breaks to Toronto’s film productions? That wouldn’t go over too well in Ontario and this won’t go over well in Alberta.

I’ve been in a paint booth all day, so instead of trying to play catch up on today’s Trudeau debacle and his open shunning of Western Canada, this is an open thread for those topics, plus anything else that makes you want to yell at Scott Moe to stop wasting our time and interests on this neverending shit show.

It’s not going to get better. A Conservative government in Ottawa won’t make it better. Move on. Get the ball rolling on a decoupling strategy now, lest the SaskParty find itself competing with a third option in the next provincial election.
