Rather conveniently after seemingly every other politician returns from their beach vacation and snowbird getaways Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has finally moved to toughen up the restrictions on the border and air travel.
What is surprising for many Canadians is that their Conservative party, who is supposed to be the Liberal’s opposition, is offering their support for this bill.
Media Bias is often envisioned as hard and fast advocating for one political perspective over another, but the situation with Payette shows how the media’s selection bias of stories and the effort in which they put into covering them can be as much of a boon to Trudeau as an open defence of his bad actions.
If O’Toole didn’t foresee the media pressing him harder after he showed weakness by removing Derek Sloan for unexplainable reasons, then either he wants more excuses to pivot further left or he is evidently still a political rookie.
Simply put, Trudeau will gladly let Biden lead him around by the nose on the Keystone XL pipeline since what Biden wants to do already falls underneath Trudeau’s environmentalist agenda, and if Biden cancels the pipeline Trudeau can act like he wasn’t part of the problem.
Erin O’Toole has had a terrible stretch over the last two weeks, he started the expected ritual the man who runs as a “True Blue Conservative” in the leadership race begins to distance himself from the conservative base by getting into a silly fight with Ezra Levant and Rebel media. O’Toole had done an interview with the Rebel, but to appeal to the segment of the population that would never vote for him, he denied that he did.
While, for the most part, this was the case, after clinching the nomination he has committed to supporting Bernie Sanders’ radical agenda items. Typically we see this cycle play out the other way around. Candidates tend to adopt more radical positions to capture the ideologically-driven vote of their respective party during the primaries, before moderating in the general election to attract voters in the middle.
O’Toole not only has a track record of being a flip-flopping liar, but this more recent attempted purge of an actual honest and decent man should be a bridge too far for any Conservative member, and the party membership and Conservative MPs should be pushing for O’Toole’s removal from the party.
The decision comes likely due to fear that the CBC, or other left-wing media, and his political opponents would accuse O’Toole of racism, sexism, and white supremacy, if he gave Rebel News an interview, as the Left in Canada, has continually smeared the news outlet as being guilty of such.
The Liberal MPs are overtly trying to seize onto American political controversy and hyper-partisan Democrat talking points in order to smear Conservatives in Canada, which no doubt is damaging open discourse in the country when politicians begin to find thin excuses such as these to attack one another.
