She must keep trying

Pro-lifer. Nah.

Tbh I think she should keep her hand in the pot.. it’s not normal for an unknown to garner such support! I suspect she could actually win if her name gets known.

Run as a independent. Screw partys.

Run in the west, as everyone I speak to has to utmost respect for her

ErinOTooleMP needs to watch his back, if he cannot deliver whenever the next election is called CPC_HQ membership will bank further right and she fits the bill. LETS MAKE ErinOTooleMP a one term leader cdnpolitics DoBetter

Her record on women's rights is spotty as best.

Reconcile by replacing CCP propaganda with fair and equal coverage of Canadian news. The CCP is busted. It's a matter of time before the facts that COVID is a made up disease that uses the common cold virus and previous years Flu Shot.

Great news!

Now if JWR would join the team as well those two could close so many innuendos regarding the party.

She better improve her french.

And she'll be another one to go down in the Liberal landslide. Good news.

She’s such a positive voice in such a negative time. I’m so glad she’ll be sticking around!
