Yet help Mr. Trudeau he did, by underlining the thing the Liberal Leader has been trying to work up into a wedge issue since the first day of the campaign. Then Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, seemingly unable to help himself, helped Mr. Trudeau, too.Behind all this is tragedy. Alberta’s intensive-care units are stretched nearly full. The province, home to less than one in eight Canadians, has experienced more than one in three new COVID-19 cases and deaths.When asked about the emergency, Mr.
Mr. Trudeau has for weeks argued that the reason Mr. O’Toole won’t back vaccine requirements is that a chunk of his Conservative base are anti-vaxxers or vehemently anti-mandate. There was no doubt that Mr. Kenney faced those pressures with his political base. And now Mr. O’Toole is so unwilling to even comment on a fellow conservative’s pandemic crisis that he was treating his former federal cabinet colleague, Mr. Kenney, as He Who Must Not Be Named.
At this point, the politicking is as much about posture as actual policy. Mr. Trudeau supports vaccination requirements for air and rail travel and has a not-very-clear policy about requiring them for federal public servants. Mr. O’Toole said unvaccinated people could be subject to tests. But it is provincial governments that have the real power to set requirements that would have a broader impact, for restaurants and bars or health workers or teachers.
Way to cost yourself the election … SMH argh!
'The Leader who has campaigned as the “man with a plan” was unwilling to speak plainly about a crisis. That played into Mr. Trudeau’s hands in the last days of a neck-and-neck campaign.' erinotoole's only plan was to not annoy his climate-denying, gun-toting, unvaxxed base!
🤡☣️💩
Why can’t the Conservative party find a leader with even the most basic sense of decorum and tact? He knows the right wont change their vote - no matter how atrocious the actions of their own. This is the golden rule of Cons: to hell with everyone except our own. Shame on you.

Erin O'Toole chooses to ignore Alberta. A sign of things to come if he becomes leader?
Conservatives have been fucking Alberta for far too long Do you like paying your Healthcare? Do you like paying $600/wk per child daycare? Do you like your taxes covering corporate bailouts? Kenney gave away 4.5 Billion just gave it away NeverVoteConservative
He who cannot be named PremierVoldemort
O'stoole is just as corrupt as Harper.
Parties don't matter. So, o'toole could just as easily run as a Green. How confusing it must be for Albertans
Really? How does this compare to the lies and scandals Trudeau has pulled over the last 6years?
Only few days ago O'Toole praised Kenney's handling. Today he REFUSES TO EVEN MENTION KENNEY 's name.
globepolitics Men vote out feminist Liberals like your life & job depends on it. Liberals refuse men any political representation, but give women institutionalized representation & financing. Men rights are subordinated to women in family, employment, criminal & constitutional law NDP CPC_HQ
Alberta, home to less than 1 in 8 Canadians, has experienced more than 1 in 3 new COVID-19 cases and deaths. erinotoole is jkenney Be warned. Don’t let erinotoole destroy Canada like jkenney has destroyed Alberta.
Kenney stayed out of the public eye, ignored rising covid cases to help the O'Toole campaign.
its hard to see erinotoole and think he will behave any different than jkenney
Just throw jkenney under the bus, erinotoole. It's the only way he can help you now. Makes me wonder just what (METAPHORICAL) bodies are buried that CovidKenney knows of...
Here is video of erinotoole defending Jason Kenney (jkenney) covid response and lying about Prime Minister (justintrudeau) saying no vaccines will be available till Thanksgiving 2021. Note we have had vaccines for months
These press conferences by CPC Leader Erin O’Toole are troubling. Using the limited questions they’re allowed, reporters have asked O’Toole repeatedly about his past praise of Jason Kenney’s handling of COVID-19. He’s answering with dodge after dodge and reporters mics are cut.
Why we link the Federal politics with a provincial Premier? They were elected complete separately.
Ha Ha
Why won't erinotoole just answer the question? He's been asked repeatedly now. Is this how he's going to act if he becomes PM?
Great points, finally, from the globe. All the righties are cut from the same cloth- it’s all about me! Aka Donald trump!
He will pull a rabbit out of the hat any time now!!!
Two things Trudeau has: 1) an unnecessary election & 2) unnecessary erection. Both endorsed by Xi, Obama & Hillary Clinton. Both, are currently with $610 million. Both will screw Canada enough to the satisfaction those three. cdnpoli Elxn44
Not at all. I'm looking forward to a Prime Minister who is not divisive and will work with all Premier's to better Canada. So tired of Trudeau dividing Canadians. We deserve a calm and mature Prime Minister. trudeauVanityElection ErinOTooleforPM
albertaNDP Why are 🤬imbeciles allowed to be politicians and why are those 🤬imbecile politicians in charge!!! This Country is so 🤬up beyond any repair!!! FUBAR!!!
Men save yourselves-anti male feminist Liberals' refuse representation or a voice for men-vote out Liberal feminist criminal sexism-vote equality Conservative O'Tool who gives men what Trudeau would not: a Minister for Men & Equality & a Status of Men Canada, like women have
When will a Canadian politician appear who will actually answer a straight question with a straight answer. Its not only O'Toole. Trudeau is as bad. It will continue until voters punish politicians who deflect and avoid tough but important questions.
