That hasn’t stopped Liberal partisans trying to paint him as a Trump acolyte. Manitoba Liberal MLA Douglas Lamont offered 25 examples on Twitter of the Conservative Party being “a couple of degrees of separation” from the far right, invoking tenuous links to Rebel Media and the Proud Boys.
He succeeded because he brought forward conservative-minded policies that resonated with ordinary Canadians. As journalist Bob Plamondon wrote in his 2009 book, Blue Thunder, he “redefined the political centre, not in terms of socialist or capitalist extremes, but as a place of moderation that represents the wider values of Canadian society.”
O’Toole’s spokesman said he was “outraged that anyone would accept donations from this individual and will be looking into the matter.” At least, that is if all else is equal – which is not the case during the pandemic. While it rages, and a significant proportion of the population rely on the federal government for their income, Trudeau is likely insulated from politics as usual.
erinotoole Lays groundwork for the death of the CPC_HQ. I stopped donating several years ago. No money to politicians. It's a waste.
O’Toole is too easily lured into a knee jerk response to allegations of racism...set as a trap by Libs to distract.
More mainstream? Most votes of any party last election.
IvisonJ And by 'more mainstream, pragmatic' you mean conforming to the 'progressive-Left' ideological worldview favoured by the Canadian political, media and academic establishment.
You mean, he's turning them into Blue Liberals. In past it was hard to tell them apart but now it is worse as they are virtually identical to the Red Liberals.
so after hating sikh turbans, tamils, LGBT, Muslims they've run out of targets ?
..
Yeah, but what a sloppy transition.
Take a scroll through comment section and you will find a lot of people who think that is a terrible thing.
Oh really. Who gave O'Toole the OK to do that? If I want to go liberal, I already have Trudeau.
Joke of the day!
Take your Red/Blue🤡 or Blue/Red🤡pill Uckfay that.
If they were pragmatic and inclusive they wouldn’t be the Conservative party
Interesting. Your view seems to be that CanadaProud, and Derek Sloan, and white-power signalling Rampel, and religious nut Smith are ...mainstream these days?! In Canada?
If Conservatives wanted those things, they would have elected Peter McKay. And if they wanted those things, I would be supporting them. But they're not, and neither am I.
The CPC is the only centrist party in Canada
Just with a few Proud Boys members on his staff, sounds like Erin is real 'mainstream'.
That would be the conservative Party that I know. The Liberals don’t have a recognizable party anymore. Trudeau hijacked it in 2015.
O'toole Trudeau lite SMH
Candace 'MAGA Hat' Bergen?
Sorry, when people (or parties) show you who they are believe them the first time. Words won't get the stink off.
You wish
