I agree with PPC's platform more than I do the CPC's, but I also know I'd be throwing my vote away and only helping Trudeau if I voted for them. And so does Bernier, which makes him a scoundrel for doing this. We were all better off with him on the front bench with the CPC. Hell, he'd probably be party leader right now if he hadn't rage quit the CPC over losing the 2017 leadership election.
no that's been proven false, whoever pulls the strings wanted a moderate like o-toole and that wasn't changing regardless of who was in the party, at worst it would have ended up like sloan with some random retard donation being the scapegoat reason to do so. the cpc is no longer conservative, i really wish you'd see that
No it hasn't. Your demented fever dreams about Dominion voting machines stealing the leadership race for O'Toole (lol) are not "proof".
Are you kidding? It was MacKay's turn. He was the anointed one. They've been grooming him since the early 2000s.
...that is the resumé of the person who's being groomed for CPC leader and Prime Minister. That's what climbing the ladder in cabinet looks like.
You know what O'Toole has on his cabinet resumé? Minister of Veteran's affairs. That's it. Aside from that he was just a backbencher. Hell, he's only been in politics since 2012, and he's already over the hill. The party elders had no plans for him. He wasn't even on their radar. MacKay was next, then it would be Poilievre's turn.
So stop talking nonsense. MacKay, not O'Toole, was the party establishment's pick for leader. And MacKay lost, because the party apparently ran a fair leadership election, meaning Bernier, given his popularity when he was in the CPC (far more popular than MacKay and O'toole combined) would probably have won if he'd ran in the 2020 CPC leadership race.
Instead, he's in the wilderness with no political future because he rage quit like a baby after losing the 2017 election and started his own party so he could be "leader" of it. And you people keep giving him a pass.
Think about it: If he hadn't rage quit the CPC and instead just stayed where he was, kept doing what he was doing, kept his profile up by continuing to make noise, he would almost certainly be CPC leader right now, and your messiah would have a decent shot at being the next Prime Minister of Canada in the next few months. That's where we'd be if Max hadn't quit the CPC and started this hopeless "PPC" vanity project. Why doesn't that piss you off? wouldn't you rather Max be the Prime Minister of Canada than the leader of some hopeless fringe party that has no seats and no prospects?
