O’Toole is out
- Thread starter poker
- Start date
Has nothing to do with being socially conservative just conservative. O'Toole was doing his impersonation of Trudeau lite.
That is some kinda liberal logic right there Captain. So you voted for NDP over the PPC, which is a true Conservative party.
I have no idea what the Liberals were thinking making Del Duca their leader. He's got the charisma and likeability factor of the Unibomber.
Mississauga is mostly Liberal leaning now but the Conservatives/PC's have had some recent success provincially. Mississauga South is the most conservative of the ridings in the city.
Brampton can go Conservative as a lot of Sikhs support the party. But the liberals still control most of the EI vote. Caledon/Bolton is mostly conservative.
Oakville and Burlington are definitely conservative leaning but for the last three federal elections they have voted liberal. Milton the last two.
Hamilton has conservative pockets in Dundas, Flamborough and Grimsby but its mostly NDP/Liberal territory.
It has been just over seven since this anemic and toothless bill was enacted not a decade. LE has all but given up enforcing it, as it makes the arrest of those purchasing sex illegal impossible to enforce and has done little to stop human trafficking , child prostitution and has increased the amount of pimps (aka brothel owners in some cases). The prostitutes were given immunity from prosecution from selling a service which is illegal to purchase which resulted in a proliferation of brothels. My understanding of the intent of Bill C36 is not of any real importance compared to the consequences of the Bill that are seen today. More than ever, it is a buyer and sellers market as the Harper Tory’s were mental midgets in writing this Bill.
If Ford was smart he never would've gotten into politics to begin with. Plain and simple.
The Avro Arrow was superior to what the United States had in production and development in the late 1950's. Canada would be a sitting duck for foreign invasion without a mutual defense treaty with the USA. There was no Cold War between Canada and the USSR. The order to scrap the Arrow came from the Eisenhower administration, and Diefenbaker complied. Many of the former Avro research and development staff found immediate employment south of the border. A famous quote from John F. Kennedy: "When I tell Canada to do something, I expect her to obey".
My grandfather, (1896-1992), had a rare photograph taken from inside an Avro Arrow, while flying upside down. His opinions about scrapping the Arrow project were identical to yours.
The PPC is not a "true conservative party". It's a true wannabe-US Republican party.
I was really impressed with Berniers credentials before I found out he was insane.
I would question what this means. In this last election, him running a anti-public health message would have killed him in many parts of the country. Other issues were also not going to win him votes, like the carbon tax. I mean, I agree with other in this thread that he should have been given an opportunity to re-build the base of the party. Knifing him now is only setting them back...
Don't give him any ideas....Mind you, I think he might actually be smart enough to figure out that it would be a bad idea....but you never know...
Ottawa - Montreal corridor = 6 million people
Vancouver = 2.5 million people
EGH - 10 million people
TOTAL = 18.5 million people
Population of AB and SK = 5.5 million people
The CPC clearly believes that by firing the 1 leader who was likely able to make inroads in urban Central Canada and the Lower Mainland and by dominating AB and SK, that it can also dominate Canadian politics...

The "first past the post" system is a problem for the Conservatives because their votes are concentrated and they could and have won the popular vote but failed to gain the proportional number of seats. The only poll that matters is the 338 poll.
