He’s been a politician’s son, a soldier, a lawyer and a Harper cabinet minister. Today, he may seem like a man out of time – but his flirtations with Trumpism and right-wing digital warfare suggest a very 21st-century conservatism

Good but what is it

If you like him so much, why don’t you marry him?

Satire

'Modern Conservative' = oxymoron of the day!

Almost every single commenter has less than 50 followers. Liberal bots much?

Modern...HaHaHa! Look at his MPs. Stuck in the past. This article is quite humorous. Was it meant to be?

Wow, Liberal Twitter is really triggered by this article. Guess they prefer autocracy to democracy.

Is that what he looked like back in the old days too? O.g bothing has chamged has it, he doesnt look a day over his stupidity.

A federal election averted, but the Globe and konradyakabuski make it abundantly clear which horse they will be backing when the writ is dropped. cdnpoli

Bish please

Could you make your pr pieces look (and sound) a tad less like propaganda?! Ugh.

YUK

JordanPowerNL Modern as in 1958 modern?

It was eventually five kids. John O’Toole remarried, to Peggy, the ex-wife of his brother Jerry. “I think it was just over the years of supporting each other through difficult times that they ended up connecting” Conservative Applelachia Ontario Anyone like Erin in high school?

Modern? Re-tooled Harper with a side of Trump-lite isn't 'thoroughly modern'.

K’erin o’toole is a republican. The current CPC is republican. They have nothing to do with the Tory party of our ancestors, except that they have stolen the name and sterling reputation of the progressive conservative movement.

OneNationK Eris O'Toole lacks the nut cutting skills needed to sink the government and take the country in a radical new direction

Some of the libtards here have their heads so far up their ass, he could rescue a dozen kids from a drowning boat and they'd still be villifying him.

Mop and Pail pushing its shitty right wing agenda again

He was willing to start an election, and we still don’t know what his program is. Probably muh Trudeau Bad.

Dont think so ges a fool he got played by the Liberals and NDP yesterday

Something about him doesn’t sit right with me 🙄

Trump & evangenical Conservatism isn't modern. It was modern in 1860.

His strategy is simple: austerity, privatization, and a return to the '50s.

Haha it is garbage...the Cons don’t offer regular Canadian people anything

I’ll take: “That’s a hard no“ for $100 Alex

erinotoole is a russian stooge. please investigate his ties to Russian affiliated media

“Modern Conservative strategy” ? As in Trump-like?

Praying he is elected.

We know his strategy - writing some nonsense white-washing (omg... yes... I said that)... Erin O'Toole is nonsense - he's another Harper/Trump clone, beholden to archaic ideas and sound bites that don't work 'see a conservative' proved that one - twice. canada vote otoole

Modern and Conservative in the same expression... really? this is rather funny

I'm as likely to vote for a raccoon as I am for any candidate put forth by this retrograde organization.

globepolitics Erin O'Toole has been fantastic as leader so far. His ideas are fair and reasonable, he doesn't have a lifelong history of inappropriate behaviour and a piss-poor ethics record.

Part of the population prefer a modern liberal

When you look like you're 60 but are actually 47, 'old school image' is the best case scenario.

Its a massive failure

Yeah... No

The “thoroughly modern” Conservative strategy is to outliberal the Liberals on anything that matters.
