Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leader Erin O’Toole, in a move that goes against the position held by most delegates of the CPC, and the position he took during the 2020 leadership race, has announced that if elected he would still support the infamous carbon tax.
Based on the polls, if any decently well-organized party made one of its main platform planks as being opposed to sex-selective abortion they would dominate the social policy debate. Seriously what would Trudeau, Singh, O’Toole, Blanchet, or Paul be able to say in favour of not banning a practice that mainly targets unborn girls for being girls? That would be an optics nightmare for all of them.
Many who watched the recent Conservative Party convention found themselves in disbelief. I am not an exception to this. I watched as Erin O’Toole firmly laid the foundation for policies few in the West support. Chiefly among them, a further alienated Western Canada.
The Conservatives don’t even have to fully endorse the actions of Grace Life Church in order to seize onto the golden opportunity to simply condemn a church being made an example of by AHS and the RCMP far beyond what the law would require the punishment to be for violating provincial restrictions, whether you agree with them or not.
Although very rational arguments against lockdowns and the further sacrifice of the economy to theoretically reduce the spread of COVID are there to be made, neither Kenney, Ford, or most other Conservatives for that matter, are willing to make the argument, and to the detriment of Albertans, Ontarians, and Canadians overall.
Despite reasonable concerns regarding the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine coming from the medical community Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing Canadians to take the first vaccine offered to them.
One could argue that Dr. Tam has said that we can absolutely open up society again if we are able to keep one lockdown in place for a long enough period of time, but at no point has the federal government or any provincial government properly articulated how long and how locked down we need to be to fully open.
There is a trend growing among the Conservative Party establishment and loyalists to the party leader Erin O’Toole, and that is to blame everything going wrong on the CPC base.
Overall it is quite ironic that the more Erin O’Toole keeps trying to sideline Derek Sloan, as well as move away from the pro-life organizations, the close the CPC base seems to grow towards them.
Although Trudeau has a disapproval rating of 52 percent that is still far better than O’Toole’s 51 percent disapproval rating seeing as only 3 percent of Canadians polled do not have their minds made up on Trudeau whereas 19 percent of Canadians still don’t have an opinion on O’Toole, and the trend isn’t looking very good.
