Conservative Party leadership candidate Patrick Brown says social conservatives would have a place in a party led by him but that he stands firm on his views on topics such as abortion.

Conservative Party leadership candidate but that he stands firm on his views on topics such as abortion.

Several party leadership candidates went after Pierre Poilievre during the first official debate last week for not having previously articulated his position on abortion clearly.Brown has also faced criticism for flip-flopping on the issue. As a backbench MP in 2012, he voted in favour of Motion 312, which would have ostensibly ordered a review on when life legally begins.

Brown often touts his ability to attract voters in areas the Conservative Party desperately needs to pick up support, such as the Greater Toronto Area. “I look at the most obvious sector when we talk about inflation being the housing sector… there's more demand than there is supply, and we have a lack of labor to build homes. We desperately need more labor. The approval process at every level of government is too slow.”

“I think it's reckless to have political interference in the Bank of Canada and this is something that I think has shocked many economists and those in the financial markets across the country that a conservative would suggest something like that,” he said.In light of the strains and stresses that COVID-19 has exposed within the health-care system, Brown says more care needs to be done outside of the hospital environment but still within the parameters of a public structure.

Patrick Brown should of stayed as Mayor.

Dude once said social conservatives were dinosaurs.

They killed a lot of Canadians?

All social conservatives. All MP's do is waste time, space and air for a living.

While I don't consider myself a socon, Brown has a complete misunderstanding of socons and the party base. His being out of touch is why he is irrelevant to this race

Patrick Brown on Social Conservatives, quoted from his book

This is the first time of Patrick Brown.

Lol.

The shootings and stabbings in Brampton will be attended to if he is elected .

Hilarious

Which of course would add a whole other level of people not on the same page causing even more confusion in a blind leading the dumb party.

'Patrick Brown says socialist conservatives....' Integrity commissioner rules former Ontario PC leader failed to disclose a loan and income Patrick Brown misled coucil... move to cut public out of key planning decision

Also Brown:

let them start their own party

Including social conservative Quebecers that support Bill 19?

MAC 10's with them silencers!

Canadian snipers over there!

He also said social conservatives are dinosaurs

I'd attack Saudi Arabia!

Social Conservatives? It’s an oxymoron.

And that is exactly why we will never see a conservative PM

If Social Conservative crackpots don’t want to join the current century, they can remain irrelevant.

MSM are now quick to unhook their wagon off of the first opponent Justin wanted (JeanCharest_ ) and latched it to the 2nd choice that the Liberal choose to fight, P.Brown! The PMO must have sent out marching orders this week bc it’s a coordinated response from media outlets.

If Social Conservative crackpots don’t want to join the current century, then can remain irrelevant.

Looks like the CPC has no way out of its self imposed wilderness. Totally fine with that. They should be deregistered and listed as a hate group anyhow.

There's no such thing as a social conservative.

ianabailey Will you allow free votes? He doesn't 'expect to go there.' A non-answer. The Cons remain unelectable to me.

As a card-carrying anarchist I say yes, support this guy.

What’s a “social conservative”? Are they the ones that hate gays and women?

😳

Does that mean being in control of the party o as a voice in policy discussions? The distinction is important to me and how I vote.

Seems appropriate for this shitty American rerun.

He can't even handle Brampton. 🤣

Oh Lord NO.

The only good Conservative is an unelected Conservative!! RepublicansNorth

😂😂😂

Which party would he be leading?

There is no place for religion in the running of the state. Open the door to them and you get the US mess. In 50 years the United States will not exists. All because of religious conservatives.

Well, he just lost my vote...

Why doesn’t he run for one of the socialists party’s then? We are not needing another one. He should be removed from the race!!

patrickbrownont mistake. let them go to the ppc

Federal parties have evolved their democratic processes—why won't they do the same for the Canadian public?Although the Liberal and Conservative parties have adopted the preferential ballot to select their leaders, they prefer that the public continue to use the first-past-the-post method of selecting MPs. Because those currently in power know changing for a representative electoral system, what voters want, would result in them loosing power. Honestly, the way we elect party leaders is the best argument to keep the current system. The way we choose party leaders is horrible. Canada is really struggling with their democratic processes. Our government and CBC is a partnership of symbiotic corruption.

Battle for the base: What Conservatives think of Lewis -- in a race against PoilievreIt was a common refrain heard from Conservative party members gathered in Edmonton to watch the leadership debate: I like Leslyn Lewis, but I'm picking Pierre Poilievre. She was my real estate lawyer. I won’t vote for her. PierrePoilievre's legacy will be remembered as weaponizing an alternate reality which is antithetical to democratic principles and our Constitution, as the CPC_HQ play along, with lies, conspiracy theories, and propaganda that incite violence. JeanCharest_ ScottAAitchison The writing is on the wall but Lewis still runs straight at it!
