Jimmy Carter wasn't corrupt. He was just incompetent. Have to think the Cons power brokers knew about sticky fingers Scheer long ago but kept their mouths shut. They just let the news out now when it appeared to them Scheer wasn't going anywhere soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians who aren't seem to be a rare breed. part of it imo is we have these weird expectations of leaders, and media has made it so that they have to be these perfect projections of leaders vs. just good people with good ideas. They are out there in gov't, I look at people like BC senator Larry Campbell and all the good things he's done and is doing, or MPs like Freeland. They are out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Dekey Pete said: Well at least we now know why he was originally pushing for a private school tuition tax credit https://ipolitics.ca/2019/08/09/scheer-drops-private-schools-deduction/ Too funny Well, Scheer's campaign manager of this year was also into a hot mess. He tried to pay money to a PR firm to discredit the PPC. It may have worked, at least partially, but we know that the Conservative party, as it is, is rotten to the core. I'm sure a lot of Conservatives couldn't stand Scheer but voted along party lines. Now they have a great excuse to put someone else on. How could Scheer be so STUPID? Always been saying this but the best move would be to dismantle Conservative leadership and re-haul it. This would give the party plenty of time to compete for the next election. So this is actually good news for the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All people inherently have the capacity for both good and bad. We should not be shocked that politicians are likewise. Particularly in a system that's basically setup to scratch each other's backs as it's modus operandi. It's voters responsibility to be informed and keep them in check. That's as much our failing as it is theirs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so busy trying to be a smart Trudeau clone that it would have made no dif. Rona is a Westerner and that won’t sell in the east. McKay is kinda shifty. I met him. He has been waiting for this chance for years. I done with Ottawa. Will vote Wexit. If Scheer shouldn’t have lost then what about Harper? That campaign was a disaster as well.

DonLever Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Good News and Bad News for Federal Liberals. Good news because the Tories will be busy selecting new leader and will not want to defeat Liberals in confidence vote without a leader in place. Liberals should be able to hold on for a year or two while the new Tory leader is being selected and groomed to be possible future PM. Bad news is the Tories may actually select someone that can beat Trudeau and the Liberals. Let's face it, Scheer was a very weak leader. Almost anyone else could have beaten Trudeau in the last election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
