If the Tories adopted an anti-lockdown position, they would lose the suburban Karens in the 905 who crowned Harper and Doug Ford. So I understand where Erin O'Tool is coming from. But this is a slimy politician move. At a certain point you have to put your foot down and stand up for principle. Even if the majority of the country is authoritarian and stands against individual liberty. I would rather stand alone or in a small minority than give in to tyranny.
I prefer someone to do the right thing. Sometimes doing and standing for what is right loses an election. O'toole isn't even PM and has already proven to be spineless.
Exactly. We're not going to be able to change the situation through politics anyways. What we need to focus on is changing the culture.
Politics is downstream of culture. - Andrew Breitbart
Canada has a nanny state culture. We need to nurture a culture of honoring individual liberty in Canada. That is the challenge.

I flirted with the idea of running as an independent MPP in 2022. But all that's going to be accomplished is me getting doxxed and getting carbombed outside my campaign office by Antifa. I would be more useful as a blogger and author. Because we need to change the culture.
This whole pandemic response is not a public health issue, it's a moral issue, a philosophical issue.
What's the point of extending granny's lifespan by a year or two or three if she is imprisoned in her home? We should strive to live lives that are worth living. Mere biological sustenance and safety only fulfills the bottom two rungs of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Humans crave love and belgoning, esteem and self-actualization.

It's laughable how Reddit soyboys and Karens will jump through hoops just to avoid this conclusion. "You're not going to die if you never experience love and belonging, therefore they're not needs and you can easily do without them." AFAIK Feminists still dispute Maslow's hierarchy because sex is classified as a basic need.
Listening to Redditards, you'd think our only needs are eating, sleeping and shitting. These people don't understand quality of life. Our need for sex and love is like our need for shelter or wearing clothes. You won't die from lack of shelter or wearing clothes, but you'll live an incredibly shitty life without them. Perhaps I'm belaboring the obvious, but this still needs to be said given the rampant sexual fascism masquerading as sexual "liberation" in contemporary western societies.
If people want to inject an experimental mRNA vaccine into their arms, go ahead. Just don't make it mandatory. I'm not taking this shit. The Pfizer jab has only been available for like what? Two months? And there's all these reports online of people having bell's palsy, severe adverse reactions and dying. I took my flu jab like a good citizen but the flu vaccine has like 20+ years of history behind its development. And the flu vaccine isn't mandatory.
This is the dumbest campaign strategy I've ever heard of. He's saying "No end to lockdowns until we have everyone vaccinated!", which is a carbon copy of Trudeau's policy.
He had an opportunity to get out ahead of lockdown fatigue and be waiting for the pissed off voters on the other side with open arms.
While lockdowns may be more popular than not right now, with each passing day, more and more people are getting fed up with this shit. THAT is where you go appeal for people's votes. Because Just agreeing with Trudeau on this policy is ridiculous.

Run as an MPP in a mainstream party. We could use people like you.
Still, you can toe the party line until you get elected and then do 180 a push your own opinions.

Fact check: Are COVID-19 vaccines causing deaths?
Ezra has been solid lately. O'Toole is completely anti-liberty.
This is the dumbest campaign strategy I've ever heard of. He's saying "No end to lockdowns until we have everyone vaccinated!", which is a carbon copy of Trudeau's policy.
He had an opportunity to get out ahead of lockdown fatigue and be waiting for the pissed off voters on the other side with open arms.

Wait, are you harvo? Because only harvo would frame his banning as "banned for saying that O'Toole was a Liberal".
So, you are harvo?
