While Trudeau continues to remain a progressive-minded leader, the present moratorium, along with the pandemic, may convince the Liberal government to adopt stricter immigration policies. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the evident foibles unrestricted globalization presents. If Trudeau apostatizes from the neo-liberal order, characterized by the free flow of labour and populations, he may set Canada on a more sustainable path where domestic industries, like Albertan oil, can flourish.
For these reasons and many others, the grassroots of the Conservative party have already started a petition to suspend the leadership race. So far, Lisa Raitt and the rest of the LEOC have yet to acknowledge these very serious concerns from the Conservative base.
The often repeated term “irregular border crossers” appears entirely hollow as this current situation has demonstrated that the government is aware of when illegals cross the border, so much so that they can provide medical screenings for COVID19 as they come across.
This makes a lot of sense from a few different perspectives. First of all is safety.

The email also went after Walied for being, as the National Post put it, “a key figure in Patrick Brown’s successful 2015 Ontario PC leadership bid”, which is controversial based on Erin O’Toole running as a “True Blue” Conservative despite having a campaign chair who has worked with well known liberal tories.
In a recent meeting with supporters, Conservative Party leadership hopefuls Leslyn Lewis and Marilyn Gladu discussed the need for Canada to allocate 2% of the national GDP on its armed forces. Both candidates stressed the risk neglecting the military has on protecting Canadian sovereignty. China, Russia, and radical Islam are the three greatest exogenous dangers facing our nation, and a solution to subduing the threats is through bolstering the military.
Richard Décarie has endorsed social conservative candidate Derek Sloan. In an email sent to supporters this morning, the Décarie campaign declared his support to Sloan, who he describes as capable of carrying the “true blue conservative” standard.
