Will The MacKay O'Toole War Damage The Con Brand?

The Con leadership race was always going to be a sleazy affair. With two old Harperite hacks, and two social conservatives vying to be leader what else could it be?

Especially since the two Harperites have been shamefully pandering to the two religious fanatics who will almost certainly determine the winner.

But even by the low standards of the Ugly American party, this couldn't be more disturbing.

Why The Cons Should Now Be Known As The Trump Party

As I'm sure you all know, I have long believed that Andrew Scheer and his Cons are more American than Canadian.

And now we have yet another example of how low they have fallen.

Another example of the strange power the increasingly deranged Donald Trump holds over them.

Justin Trudeau And The War On COVID -19

He has had to weather one crisis after another. His wife is sick with Covid-19, and he must take care of their children alone, while under self-isolation.

But from that little office he is still governing this country.

Still communicating with other world leaders.

The Con Leadership Fiasco: Is This All There Is?

The deadline has come and gone. Nominations for the Con leadership race are now closed.

And one thing is immediately obvious, this country has never seen a lousier line-up.

In fact so bleak is the situation, that when I think of the two front runners, Peter MacKay and Erin O'Toole, I can't help but think of this...

The Con Clown Erin O'Toole's Far Right Farce

I've always known that Erin O'Toole wasn't the brightest bulb in the universe, but I've always thought of him as a relatively innocuous Con clown. 

Unfortunately ever since he set out to win over his party's rabid base, he 's starting to sound like a far-right extremist.

And this is just the latest example.

Where Exactly Would Erin O'Toole Take The Cons?

The other day I wrote about how Erin O'Toole wants everybody to know that he's a True Blue Con.

Although I wasn't quite sure what exactly he was trying to say.

But now I know, and it couldn't be more ridiculous

Erin O'Toole and the True Blue Farce

I never really noticed Erin O'Toole until he replaced Julian Fantino at Veteran Affairs, talked up a storm, only to find himself running for his life.

And then of course there was the time, when he suggested he was a Top Gun, only to be shot down and revealed to be a helicopter navigator.

But you get the idea. Tool likes to talk tough, even if he can't deliver.

So this is no surprise.

The Ugly Cons and the Incredible Contracting Leadership Race

The last time the Cons held a leadership contest, just about everybody agreed that there were too many candidates, and it was real horror show..

But this time the Cons have another problem, an incredible contracting leadership race.

Where there are now so few candidates, some are worried it could end up looking like the coronation of Peter MacKay.

The Trumpling Campaign of the Con Clown Erin O'Toole

For most of his short and undistinguished parliamentary career, Erin O'Toole has been little more than a mouth that roars.

An annoying but relatively harmless Harper stooge.

But now he's running for the Con leadership. Again.

And he's posing as a warrior, or a great defender of Canada.

Peter MacKay and the Monstrous Mediocrity of the Cons

As I watched Peter MacKay officially launch his leadership campaign this morning, I felt like I was travelling back in time.

Back to the days when MacKay was Stephen Harper's most faithful stooge, even though he had stolen his party from him.

So the idea that Dumbo could now ride to the rescue of Canada is totally outrageous...

Why The Cons Will Always Be The Religious Bigot Party

It was Andrew Scheer's fatal flaw, the one that more than all the others cost him the election.

His religious fanaticism that made it impossible for many women and LGBT Canadians to trust him.

So not surprisingly those who would replace Scheer are desperate not to make the same mistake.

And one leadership candidate, Pierre Poilievre, is even trying to whitewash his past.

The Day Michelle Rempel Was Made To Look Like An Idiot. Again.

A few days ago I wrote a post accusing Michelle Rempel of whipping up hatred against asylum seekers for crass political purposes.

And of being totally out of control.

So I'm glad to see that even some of her colleagues now share that view.

Especially the hapless Con clown Erin O'Toole.

Justin Trudeau and the Treason of the Cons

You might think that at a time when the maniac in the White House has declared war on Canada.

And Justin Trudeau is fighting to save hundreds of thousands of jobs in this country. 

And by most accounts doing an admirable job of letting Donald Trump know that nobody bullies Canadians.

You might think that Andrew Scheer might be able to put his country before his ugly party and his obsessive hatred of Trudeau. 

But if you did you would be wrong, because sadly it seems, Scheer just can't help himself.

Why Andrew Scheer and His Cons Have No Future

Ever since Andrew Scheer was chosen as the new leader of the Harper Party, I've been trying to explain to the few Cons I know, that they've made a terrible mistake.

Trying to explain that by choosing a religious fanatic who would criminalize women, marginalize gays, and ignore climate change, they haven't just lost the next election.

They've also lost the future.

The Hilarious Hypocrisy of the Con Clown Erin O'Toole

From the moment the Cons and the NDP decided to go after Harjit Sajjan, nobody joined in the gang bang more gleefully than Erin O'Toole.

Taunting the decorated Afghanistan veteran over and over again as only a Con could.





Only to have that big smile wiped off his pudgy face.

The Con Clowns Go After the Veterans Again

Oh no. Not Erin O'Toole. Not Stephen Harper's shiny tool. Again.

Why it seems like it was just yesterday that he was making an absolute fool of himself, claiming that marijuana doesn't help veterans with PTSD, and that it's dangerous.

Despite considerable evidence to the contrary.

Now he's going after veterans with PTSD again, claiming they're making misleading videos. 

The Harper Regime and the Continuing War on Canadian Veterans

The day Stephen Harper finally fired Julian Fantino, and made Erin O'Toole the new Minister of Veterans Affairs, I predicted that nothing would change.

Because the way the Cons have treated our veterans wasn't just a failure to communicate. It was a failure of human decency, and a betrayal of our Canadian values.

And sure enough, I was right. O'Toole turned out to be just another tool of his depraved leader.

And the more things change, the more they stay the same. 

Stephen Harper and the Hypocrisy of Great Warrior Leader

As we all know Stephen Harper is trying to make us believe that we are at war with a giant Jihadi conspiracy.

And that only he can save us from those who would behead us in our beds, and Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair.

Because only he is a Great Warrior Leader.

And in pursuit of that absurd illusion he is clearly willing to do or say anything.

The Con Regime Goes After Another Veteran's Advocate

Yesterday I told you how Erin O'Toole, Julian Fantino's equally ghastly replacement, had gone after Mike Blais and his veteran's group. 

Now it turns out that wasn't an isolated incident, it's part of an all-out offensive.

Because today we found out that the Cons are also going after the distinguished veteran's advocate Keith Neville. 

New Harper Stooge Goes After a Veteran's Group

Last week I predicted that Erin O'Toole, who replaced Julian Fantino as the Con Minister of Veteran Affairs would turn out to be no better than his predecessor.

Or just another Harper stooge.

And sure enough it hasn't taken long for him to show his true colours.
