O'Toole fielded questions about his authenticity during an evening question-and-answer session that closed out a conference hosted by the Canada Strong and Free Network, formerly the Manning Centre.

He's being branded as "Liberal-lite" in some quarters, the same descriptor O'Toole once leveled at former rival and ex-parliamentarian Peter MacKay during last year's leadership race.

O'Toole, who during the contest pitched himself to party members as a "real Conservative," said he finds those now making similar comments about him to be "humorous."

Oh god, I love this argument every time it comes up.

As Erin The Tool understands it, NONE of this is actually his fault -- it's YOUR FAULT for trying to hold him accountable. Erin The Tool isn't the problem here. The problem is you. You're the fucking problem. Why wont you bigoted racists just get in line with Erin The Tool and everything he believes in? Why do you have to be so argumentative? Don't you bigots understand that Erin is going to get his fucking ass kicked unless you bigots get on board with Erin The Tool's vision for the CPC before the next election?

Ha, just kidding. We all know Erin is going to get his ass kicked and it'll be his own stupid fault.

O'Toole told conference attendees that Conservatives must fight an election on the issues of today rather than those of decades past.

All a bunch of useless twits. Both parties are onboard with the great reset. I get FB posts from the Conservative party and they constantly yap about Canada being far behind other nations in the vaccine rollouts showing how bad the liberal government is handling this plandemic. To me we are not behind far enough. Can't really support them when they're plan is to go along with the globalists agenda.
