Popular Post Dekey Pete Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Scheer was the only thing stopping me from voting conservative this past election. I went to a local meet and greet type event with all of the candidates in my riding, and the conservative candidate was the best of the bunch, hands down. Smart, educated, tolerant well spoken person. But I just did not like the things that Scheer stood for, and the fact that he had already been caught lying/back peddling so many times leading up to and during his campaign. I couldn't imagine the kind of corruption he would bring in an actual position of power. Time for the conservatives to elect better leadership. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he clearly sucked as a leader but their awful, proven to fail, trickle down economic plan and corporate welfare at the expense of massive service cuts to actual Canadians is also a pretty good reason. Their archaic social policies are another pretty good one. Their laughable environmental plan would be another. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said before, similar events like what’s happening in the States would have started happening here if Scheer was elected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrose is one of the, actually maybe the, only former Harperite that I'd be OK with seeing as PM, assuming she doesn't have to tilt to the social con base to win. Thats the big issue within the CPC, that hard core social con camp. They gave us Harper and Scheer. There would have to be an influx of new CPC members to give Ambrose a real shot at leading and not be hampered by the social con's. MacKay probably has a better chance of appealing to those folks, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestroyerofworlds Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If only the CONs would do more than simply give us a new leader. Repudiation of the social conservative garbage that permeates the brand for one. It was sad that they had a leader who never attended gay pride parades while leader, but would attend pro-birth rallies. An end to their sad love affair with voodoo economics. Cuts to social programs to pay for tax cuts isn't going to cut it. Jason Kenney's approval rating has plummeted over the past couple months. Cuts to social programs could have something to do with it. And third on the docket, reform of their environmental policies. The fact that there are significant numbers of climate change deniers in their flock shows one area that needs to change. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JM_ Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 This is nowhere near the joy I felt listening to Harpers resignation speech, that was like having a fantastic 5 course meal. Scheer leaving is more like what happens the next morning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he gets a single vote in Quebec and he's painted himself into a regional corner so he won't win Ontario either. Nah, he's going to stay put. I do hope the CPC can bring itself to stop putting forward social conservatives as leaders, but kinda hope they drop the ball again too He's an egomaniac. He's taking credit for things he had no hand in. If he felt he had a shot he'd jump in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he felt he had a shot he'd jump in thats true. But who's going to displace him as King of Alberta? no one. He'll keep a death grip on that leadership and Albertans won't ever elect a non-PC government. He's got a job for life, due to Albertans unwillingness to make changes most of the time. Notely was the multi-generational exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how anybody would think that he had any characteristics associated with leadership. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
