Libs rn are overplaying the fact that he is a soc con so much.. end of the world, the libertarian sector (very big) will keep it in check.

They are split between the economic extremists and the religious extremists, and when they get going they could probably make Game of Thrones look like Bambi.

I obviously don't want the Cons to win the next election, but since there is no danger of that happening, I'd like to see them at least get more votes than the Bloc Québécois....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-12555907767564022812017-06-03T13:34:58.063-04:002017-06-03T13:34:58.063-04:00Hi MC....maybe I should have been clearer.

But I can't see how he can remain leader when the election was so tainted.

This is hardly a sign of overwhelming support. It seems to me that it well be better to let the Cons fight it out and splinter the party and alienate anyone outside the hard-core base of right-wing loons.<br /><br />Cons generally seem pretty good at backstabbing, and dirty tricks that later get spread across the front pages of national newspapers or lands you in court. We should encourage their natural skills and talents.<br /><br /> And being the leader of a party where, perhaps, fifty percent of your members hate just about everything you stand for (i.e the fiscal conservatives as opposed to the social cons) probably does not make for an easy life.<br /><br />Like I said, popcorn time. Maybe with extra butter?jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73985370230913316582017-06-03T10:20:41.717-04:002017-06-03T10:20:41.717-04:00Resign as soon as possible?

Given that our aging CF-18s seem hardly able to fly here sending them to that environmentally hostile area to contribute basically nothing in terms of force application seems like a grand continuation of Harper foreign policy and I cannot think of one instance where Harper did not screw-up. jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-21376467720058981332017-06-03T09:05:54.876-04:002017-06-03T09:05:54.876-04:00Yeah, because you totally have the best interest o...Yeah, because you totally have the best interest of the party at heart.....hell should we even have elections anymore or just declare the Little Prince PM for life?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
