O’Toole made the declaration in a statement today in which he lists the numerous ways that he has sought to make the Tories more inclusive and moderate since becoming leader in August

The comments come as O’Toole has faced questions from the Liberals about allegedly Trump-style politics within his ranks, which has resulted in finger-pointing between the two parties.The Liberals have called attention to a since-deleted Tory website alleging the government wants to rig the next election, and a photo of Conservative deputy leader Candice Bergen wearing a Trump hat.

In his statement, O’Toole says the Conservatives are a “moderate, pragmatic, mainstream party” and condemns the storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters earlier this month. O’Toole adds that while Liberals can try to label him as “far right,” the government itself is guilty of trying to import American style politics by sowing division and misinformation.

Riiiight. O'Toole is ALIGNED w the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, which tries to WHITEWASH Canada's White Supremacist policies towards the indigenous groups, receives funding from KOCH+BANNON, is a SHILL for the OIL Companies, denies CLIMATE Change+is Pro-TRUMP.

How about Derek Sloan! He’s still a part of the Conservative caucus

Conservative MP MPMarilynGladu has officially endorsed a petition to keep conversion therapy abuse legal in Canada under the guise of 'freedom of religion. That didn’t last long because it’s a lie.

Gong show

🤣🤣🤣 Does anyone bother to notice how the actions don’t actually match the words?

Then declare all nationalist groups like the proud boys as terrorists. They are. Take away any weapons they possess.

Spewing Propaganda lies & hatred against different races and religions is not good for any democray O'Toole is on the defense

He's LYING

Funny, because almost every leader of every single Conservative government here has been seen wearing a MAGA hat and are celebrated by white supremacist Proud Boys. erinotoole himself is a fascist because he wants to 'Take Canada Back'

I wouldn't trust this party and their agenda . If they don't want to be referred to as supporting Trumpism...What's up with saying ' Make Canada Great Again'

You guys freinds now? Going to bury his gaffes? Run puff pieces? Didn't think so.

So why interview with The Rebel then?

So, he's going to step down.

So that means the cons are far left then? Because anybody a millimetre right of left are considered far right these days. 🤦‍♀️🆘🤡🌎

🙄🙄🙄🙄 that is what O'Toole is and who he consorts with.

Well, if you say so.

Hi erinotoole When you're standing off center-right, could you tell me what the values & principles are of someone on the far right, so I can recognize them when they walk into bar at the club. And don't tell me they're all bald as that would be just too funny. PPC300KWEXIT

You mean Eric_OTooleMP

At issues. What happens to one of your own (Bergin wearing Capitol Hill mobster's hat).talkischeap erinotoole

By far right it seems erinotoole and CPC_HQ mean both fiscal and social conservatives

Expel Derick Skoan and Leslyn Lewis or you are far right.

Lol, Have you looked at the members of the Conservative Party?

💪💪💪

O'Toole is trying to purposefully lose the election

Really? So why does erinotoole believe that residentialschools were a good thing for FirstNations when most FirstNations only remember being abused? Over 3000 buried on school grounds? And he has the audacity to talk about the good? resignotoole

far of any type of political group is bad news

Erin O’Toole thinks that “Canada First” is far right. 🙄

Ya fuck him. He’ll be back pandering once it is again politically advantageous for him to do so.

Uhh conservatives are classic far right at least they used to be now just liberal light

The Conservative Party are the past. We need greater equality in this country. That sure as hell won’t come with their rightist ideas.

Next it will be “there’s some very good people” in that group

Conservative shadow cabinet MP Pierre Paul-Hus is intimately involved with rabid far right group La Meute. 🧐 La Meute leaders 👇 Sylvain « Maikan » Brouillette & Jacques Gagné PierrePaulHus cdnpoli

You got room for a leader because we need one

globepolitics We will be watching....we have seen the results of hyper partisanship, and liars telling lies to their supporters! erinotoole

There's no place for anything right of full blown communism in either the Liberal or Conservative parties anymore. 2 sides of the same pandering coin racing to see who can be more 'woke'

Give me an example of a far right conservative member......

erinotoole Your base wants you to define 'far right' in terms of: Fiscal policy Immigration & refugee control Censorship/transparency Choice in healthcare: early treatment vs vaccine vs nothing Lockdowns of all vs quarantining the few Provincial vs fed control Do better

Headline could read 'Despite O'Toole's party engaging in RW Trumper like racist, prejudice, and disinformation propaganda' he tries to do what Trump did 'Although you see me doing it, don't believe your eyes'

Lol. PoorErin thinks gaslighting will give him credibility. Or, maybe he is so far right that he doesn't even know it.

If that’s the case, you’re gonna lose about half your base.

The following is very true - “the government itself is guilty of trying to import American style politics by sowing division and misinformation.” And many of the responders to this post are doing the exact same thing.

Oh the hypocrisy. He has literally encouraged the far right to settle in. He uses far-right dog-whistles on a daily basis. When his party members do and say things absolutely consistent with far-right ideology he makes no public statement and no discipline or consequence occurs.

The far left support Trudeau, may as well accept that voters can vote foe who they want. Sadly, many Canadians are too stupid to make informed decisions...

I hope no room for the far left either

Funny. That seems to of been the narrative he has been building his base on. It will be interesting to see how he tries to turn this around.

Actions not words, you may need to expel a few of your sitting members and get rid of that divisive platform header you so love to flaunt... for starters.

LIAR

More like says his handlers. ‘Far right’ is a subjective term...especially coming from the writers of MSM.

just wait for it, “conservatives”...

So why’s he there then?

In order to ensure this is true O'Trump will have to oust the likes of the Wexit & the deep religious like Sloan/Lewis. He can't bc they are the fibre of the party that Harper built his legacy on back when he could control them. That's gone now. This is who he/they are.

No place for CandiceBergenMP as deputy leader of CPC_HQ then... ResignNow MAGATerrorist ErinOTrump cdnpoli

No place for you..

The Libs accuse you of trying to use tactics to rig an election! The opportunity was right in front of you! Why didn’t you call down for a good old fashioned walk in and vote election? You know they’re going to rig this election thru vote counting electronics, absentee & mail in

What exactly is “ far right “...and please don’t bore me with things like ; kkk, Neo nazis, white supremists...blah blah blah 😑 , really what does this made up msm term really mean..?

Then you’ll be resigning soon Erin?

globepolitics Typical conservative doublespeak

That is good to hear. When will he be resigning?

Come on Erin. Say their names!

Not sure you would say that if Trump was re-elected.

Do you blindly believe Erin Globe & Mail? I expected the story to represent truth and not just parrot what Erin wants us to believe. He and his party have proven with their actions; they are rascist, anti-LGBTQ+, spread fake news, gaslight Canadians. cdnpoli

globepolitics Erin O’Toole: If we could only recreate ourselves as the Martin liberals....

O’Toole is allowing the Left and the MSM to define him and his party. Answer one time only!! Then never do it again.

Your slogan “take back Canada” is literally far right propaganda! Start by getting rid of that!

I think Mr. O’Toole of standing in that place where there’s no place for the far right

Bullshit.

Hahahaha! Too late! Methinks the lady doth protest too much!

Yeah it would be crazy if the Conservative Party and it’s RightWing base tried to claim a rigged election in Cana-wait whaaaattt 👀 cdnpoli

Well then time to kick PierrePoilievre out of the caucus?

Following January 6th Erin was notably absent from Twitter from 12:26 PM · Jan 8, 2021 to 10:05 AM · Jan 10, 2021 & again from 1:32 PM Jan 10, 2021 to 2:46 PM · Jan 13, 2021 absences of 1.5 and 3 days respectively. Re-Tooling the message and distancing himself from hardcore base?

phew

Erin is shooting his party in the foot.

😂🤣

Sounds like someone is afraid of the mainstream media.

The thing about communication is that the far right supporters that he worked so hard to develop- they know he doesn't mean it. Reading between the lines isn't that hard.

There is no right in the party

Covering his ass for sure. Snakes in the grass.

Good to hear erinotoole Put safe guards into your party policies.

I hope he means this. We are getting a lesson from our neighbours to the south how dangerous these people are.

Even in Alberta

Tell that to THE CURRENT deputy leader of the CPC_HQ CandiceBergenMP RightWingTerrorism

So Mr. O’Toole is resigning then?

How can you make that statement it’s strictly political cover. Because the far right that is in Canada support conservatives for some pretty twisted reasons and there’s nothing he can do about it!

No place for the right wing at all in the CPC_HQ party.

Hahaha. Then why is he leveraging far-right rhetoric and employing racist dog-whistles?

They keep saying that. Maybe prove it by being not jusy 'not far right ' but antifascist, pro-justice reform, pro environment, and support social programs, and hold corporations and billionaires accountable.

He encourages this bullshit....

So they are embracing the corporate oligarchs as well good to know

The problem with today is if you dont agree with liberals your far right,if you dont agree with right your a socialist when did things become so divisive,oh yeah the media pushing the narrative, beauty of democracy is we all have a right to our views

The CPC us now as close to a centrist party as Canada has. The real concern should the far left in this country not the Conservatives or majority of their supporters.

He's funny....

globepolitics Bullshit. This guy and his party members have cuddled up with Faith Goldy, Ezra Levant, the yellow vesters, and Proud Boys - and the documentation is there to prove it.

Ok, so don't just say it erinotoole do it. Denounce 'Proud Boys' and join theJagmeetSingh NDP in designating it a terrorist organization.

Let’s all go far left and make the country socialism. Get rid of capitalism, be poor and be happy.

globepolitics It’s there, so what are you going to do about it Erin O’Toole? Talk is cheap, action speaks volumes.

Ok ok now can we get back to issues that worry Canadians....eg the failure to get enough vaccines

LOLOL. Better see yourself out.

globepolitics O’toole said that?

Ah yes, the man who also says he is no different than Trump.
