Loading ...Conservative Party leader blames upstart People’s Party of Canada for election loss
Chen said many party members are upset with O’Toole’s attempt to make the party appear more centrist. He said in an interview: “The feedback from the members … is that Erin has betrayed their trust, and that Erin’s leadership based off of these results is a failure, and he needs to go. Accountability and integrity are central to what Conservatives want out of a leader, which is why we don’t like Justin Trudeau. But Erin O’Toole has demonstrated he’s no better than Justin Trudeau.”
One of the claims of the petition is that O’Toole betrayed the trust of Canadians by supporting vaccine passport measures, and “trampling the freedoms of the individual.”
Well-known Canadian conservative journalist Candice Malcolm called for a “reckoning” regarding O’Toole’s failure to act in a socially conservative manner. She wrote: “The base is angry. They were ignored, disrespected and thrown under the bus by their own leader — and for what? Fewer seats but some supportive words from left-wing journalists (journalists who, of course, would never in a million years vote Conservative.) O’Toole’s decision to abandon conservative principles and slander the Conservative base did not go unnoticed. There must be a reckoning. There will be a reckoning.”
Fully’s Comment
O’toole is a MORON
He abandoned Conservative Values and was virtually indistinguishable from Trudeau in this Election Campaign and he wonders why he lost 600,000 votes from 2019 to 2021 while the REAL Conservative Party GAINED all of those votes. This Idiot needs to be GONE
IF the Conservative Party is Smart ( doubtful) they would merge with the PPC and vote Maxime Bernier as Leader…and would kick Trudope’s ass in 18 months…it would be a landslide !
100% Agree!! Even if they merge with PPC and pick a new leader that everyone agrees upon — Trudeau already indicated next election is in 18 months — start the campaign now!
Right on, Fully. O’Toole was cowardly and stupid and paid for it. He looked like Trudope’s handmaid.
O’Toole was between a rock and a hard place. About 85% of eligible Canadians are vaccinated. One has to conclude that this 85% is supportive of Trudeau’s vaccination policies (unfortunately). If O’Toole had come out strongly against vaccine mandates etc. he would have alienated a good many voters who are in the grip of a popular delusion. We can only hope that in the next election the power of the popular delusion has abated or even better, reversed.
