But where do you go if the Cons run the country. <br /><br />Lets hope the NDP and Ontario Liberals do not spend any time attacking each other, but only the Cons. <br /><br />Racism does work, however, if some ridings are very heavily populated by a "minority" the Cons will pander to them in the most disgusting manner. <br /><br />Kenny may not make it in Alberta given his really out there religious mind set. Ford won't have that problem in Ontario. We can only wait and see and hope.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-40965135000770088542018-04-29T08:57:54.620-04:002018-04-29T08:57:54.620-04:00I also and still do believe "the leadership r...I also and still do believe "the leadership race was extremely suspicious"!

I think xenophobia and racism are threatening to become the biggest motivators, especially if the flow of asylum seekers turns into a torrent. In Britain racism led to the Brexit victory, and a new study has just shown that racism was the biggest factor in Trump's victory. So you can count on the Cons to play the racist card to maximum effect. On the other hand I believe that a Ford victory in Ontario and a Kenney victory in Alberta will boost Justin Trudeau's chances of winning another majority in the next election. So the glass is half full...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81016679945485021622018-04-29T05:05:56.290-04:002018-04-29T05:05:56.290-04:00Hi anon@ 8:12 PM...It was a criminal act, and the ...Hi anon@ 8:12 PM...It was a criminal act, and the Harper regime should have been charged with attempted murder. But the media failed to report what was going on, and the Cons were able to fool people into believing that people like Harper and Kenney were fighting for the rights of LGBT people in places like Iran, but just not in Canada. And sadly I'm not surprised. Canada is an aging society where old prejudices are still strong, and it will not become a more decent place until the new generation takes over...

But there are others who backed his candidacy or are more closely associated with what's left of the "progressive" wing of the party who could become more active if Scheer's popularity heads south, or he loses more by-elections.

Fortunately they have hitched their wagon to a regressive jackass rather than a phony stable genius of a business leader. Although the Con featured fear and bigoted side shows are motivational, it's simplistic monetary greed that draws the crowd and Scheer does not have any credibility in this area. Regardless the tag team antics between himself, his Alberta brethren and a simpler Ontarian version of the US stable genius should keep him secure as party leader until after the next election.<br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-37331547095333774202018-04-28T20:12:47.372-04:002018-04-28T20:12:47.372-04:00It's sickening to think that Harper was able t...It's sickening to think that Harper was able to stop funding services for people with HIV/AIDS and the media and most Canadians didn't give a damn.

It was a desperation move, and it was always going to end badly. Scheer was given an inch and he took a mile. The more Canadians know about him, the more they will reject him.

Him and others are sensing weakness, they know Scheer and his theocons are steering the party in the wrong direction, which might give them a short term boost but will kill them in the long run.
