There's a candidate here to the right of the PPC. No signs this year for the CHP so I suppose he might be a remnant of that party..

Let me help you. From the linked source.

Justin Trudeau’s Canadian publisher struck a deal in the first year after the Liberal government took office for a Chinese state-owned publishing house to republish the prime minister’s memoir, Common Ground, for Chinese readers under a new title: The Legend Continues.

The Chinese translation, with a title alluding to Mr. Trudeau as prime minister following in the footsteps of his father, Pierre, who first launched relations with Communist-led China, came in 2016, as Beijing was coaxing Canada to deepen its relationship with China in ways such as a free-trade deal.

Former senior foreign policy and security advisers to the prime minister say they were not consulted on this arrangement, and would have advised Mr. Trudeau to reject a deal with a publisher that reports to the local Chinese Communist Party.
If you are implying that our PM being paid by a publisher run by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t technically the same as being paid by CCP itself then you should be a politician. The type that “did not have sexual relationship with that woman”.

You are rather fond of being economical with the truth regarding Trudeau :nod:

You are either as naive as a baby or well preserved. Politicians regularly get paid and then funnel money to their charities and the reverse. Its an excuse. Its still taking money from dodgy sources and a clear conflict of interest/ethical violation. Not the first, nor the second brush with the law Trudeau had in relation to “charities”.

Will this be another minority Govt of whoever and in 12 months time will we be spending another 650 million to hold another election? Glad we seem to have an endless supply of money trees growing in Canada.

Trudeau uses his powers to cover up illegal activities https://www.theglobeandmail.com/poli...robe-possible/. Not the only time he has done that.

He will get another minority propped up by the NDP and already said there will be another election in two years. That is assuming Chrystia does not unseat him before that.

Time and time again, Barton would interject with a question of her own that was often unrelated to the direct question being asked by the guest. It was extremely annoying. I don`t want to hear what a self absorbed journalist has to say.

A very partisan show with the CBC earning their Liberal Payments.

I didn't watch it all so I'm not going to speculate on what annoyed you, but the questions I saw are those a Prime Minister will have to answer in the house, and every time they step in front of the press, and every time they dodge a question, it gets reported.

They suck some of the storm troopers out of the Conservative base, which is good for the party in the long run but might help split the vote which is bad for O'Toole right now.

Better to be an honest Conservative than like their leader who is campaigning as a Liberal but who won't act as one if elected.

The writer of this opinion piece seems to agree with you, but points out that it isn't really his choice. She also has a laundry list of the bad things the tories are guilty of, but that's neither here nor there.
"Personally, I am ready to believe that Mr. O’Toole is that rare bug, a born-again progressive-conservative. But precisely, given the deeply reactionary elements of his party, is he not condemned to play the acrobat for the duration of his possible mandate?"

The writer of the opinion piece makes lots of claims which are neither here nor there. She states that 54% of the delegates voted against a motion stating that “Climate change is real”. In fact they voted against adding this statement to the policy book. Which makes sense. The statement is true but its not a policy.

None of this “conversion therapy”, “anti-abortion” bs has any practical meaning. The previous Conservative government never touched abortion laws and nor will any future one.

Its the economy, stupid. On economy Trudeau is promising to flood Canada with cash because he “does not care about the monetary policy”. I believe him. Giving massive handouts to casino owners and kids from super-wealthy families like himself is one thing the drama teacher is good at. Sooner or later other peoples’ money will run out. The question is whether it will happen before the next election or after. The clock is ticking.

O’Toole is also promising to spend lots but nowhere near as much. Some of his spending promises are gimmicks but most have a theme - to help small business. That makes a lot of sense because 100s of thousand of Canadian companies went bankrupt over the last 18 months. It took out the whole sector of economy, some of the tax base and undermined income streams for certain categories of population. Yes, he is buying votes woth the taxpayers money but its nowhere near as damaging as LPC. Nor is O’Toole a proven liar who broke ethics laws on multiple occasions like Trudeau. But nobody cares and its all hypothetical anyway. Two more years.

There are some pretty diehard conservative ridings in BC who will vote for anyone conservative and only conservative, mostly in the interior and Fraser Valley.

Looking at Langley area, seems they might be one of those areas as the conversion therapy candidate, I assume is one of the sitting MP's as articles come up about her when googling here name with conversion therapy, she also blocked concerned people in her riding rather than provide answers which should be illegal, politicians should be permitted to block their constituents.

https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/04...-constituents/

Now that riding was Liberal going into the last election and she only won her seat in 2019, so she may not win this time around.
