Scheer argues it’s possible to be prime minister while holding socially conservative views GlobePolitics

Justin Tang/The Canadian Press

In an exclusive interview with The Canadian Press, Scheer said a wide-ranging analysis is now under way into what worked and what didn’t for his party in an election that kept them relegated to Opposition status despite the myriad scandals that have plagued Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.

“And my assurances to Canadians was that as prime minister, these types of debates would not be reopened.” Those criticisms are now being funnelled back to Scheer as the internal campaign post-mortem continues. But there’s an external one as well – the Conservative membership will gather in April to decide whether he should stay on as leader.Scheer said he knows his future is not guaranteed.

globepolitics Scheer thinks he lost because of his view on abortion and gays? Really? If so then he doesn't deserve to be PM

globepolitics There is no Conservative party anymore in Canada. Canada is one party system: Liberal party Other parties differ only in name.

globepolitics I hope not you r awful

globepolitics ....but not possible to be an intelligent, empathetic, fair minded and evolved human being. Try to swing a bit further from the proverbial tree trunk of evolution. Ohhhh, right. Scheer doesn't believe in evolution.

globepolitics I doubt it.

globepolitics There was a time when we didn't know - or need to know - the religion of our PM. Scheer is too 'in your face' with his. Also, he can say 'Oh I won't reopen the debate' but he encourages his underlings to do just that. And we all know his relationship w/ truth is, uh, flexible

globepolitics Is Globe now printing what Scheer is mumbling to himself after his recent loss or are these his dreams that he’s describing? “A guy like me is electable.” “American citizens make good PMs.” “Conservatives are electable.” “I am not hearing voices & haven’t seen god personally.”

globepolitics Paul Martin, Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney, Justin Trudeau can all, as Catholics, say they are personally against abortions but Harper and Scheer are considered intolerant because they are Protestant?

globepolitics He can be prime minister of his church but not the prime minister of Canada. He clearly has contempt for the lives of many Canadians.

globepolitics Actually Andrew Scheer holds Homophobic and Misogynistic views!

globepolitics This guys biggest weakness of which there are many is his seemingly inability to learn and adapt. My lord people like these will keep me voting Liberal for years to come.

globepolitics Maybe we might buy that if their platform hadn’t been hidden until it was too late to debate and once it was out it attacks abortion, healthcare, gay rights all the things he kept saying would be safe

globepolitics Can we please have higher standards for the education level of a potential prime minister? It's thoroughly unimpressive who some of our political parties choose.

globepolitics Also, AndrewScheer argues it's possible to be an insurance broker without going through all the proper accreditation. Andrew Scheer is not a smart person...

globepolitics '... circulating unfounded innuendo about Trudeau’s time as a teacher, and making up a claim that the Liberals and NDP were conspiring ...' was what lost the conservatives the election plus supporting the likes of Rebel media and True North. ............... 1 / 2 ...............

globepolitics Yes it is

globepolitics 😂😂you keep trying

globepolitics yeh, if you live in Poland Scheer; in fact why don't you go there.

globepolitics Obv not 😂

globepolitics Nope thats not welcome here in Canada

globepolitics He still got the more votes then Trudeau, so who cares. Love you Scheer!!

globepolitics Not when you are against LGBTQ marriage. You can’t govern a diverse population when you don’t believe equal rights for all.

globepolitics Sure - so long as you don’t jam your personal views down Canadian throats via hyper-partisan legislation.

globepolitics Maybe one day, but not this day, and not you.

globepolitics Erm... PMSH just did that so who doubts it?

globepolitics 👎

globepolitics Oh? How well did that work out for you?

globepolitics Delusional- abolish faith schools, it’s immoral to abuse kids with religious superstition & tax the vast wealth of the Catholic Church industry. cdnpoli

globepolitics Could someone explain the merits of having a PM with socially conservative views?

globepolitics Sorry, weakandy AndrewScheer , peddle your 19th century wares elsewhere. That will never happen in Canada. CPC_HQ

globepolitics When Scheer spread misinformation and lies about others throughout his campaign it made him untrustworthy and unfit to be Prime Minister of Canada. His campaign smacked of Trump nastiness.

globepolitics Not the first thing he's been wrong about.

globepolitics Sure, but is it possible to be PM when you deceive people about you resume, education, work experience. Is it possible to be PM when you hide fact that you are citizen of another country, pay taxes to that country and have declared willingness to serve in its army? Disqualifying

globepolitics Move to Amerikastan.

globepolitics It's really not.

globepolitics Majority of Canadians want to be both fiscally conservative & socially liberal (lower case c & l - not the tribal label). In other words, they’d love less taxes, to help Alberta, etc. but gambling with an empty headed Scheer wasn’t the play.

globepolitics It wasn’t only his abhorrent social views. AndrewScheer was vastly under-qualified, with almost no relevant real world experience. He also lied about the qualifications he did have. Further, 2/3 of the country disagreed with his “approach” to climate change.

globepolitics If by socially conservative views he means going back to the 50s, then I’m sorry but no it’s not possible. Society is supposed to move forward, not backwards.

globepolitics canada is going social conservative once we saw the dark side of liberal.. trudeau showed us this dark side and it is very scary.. very evil.

globepolitics Andy Sneer AndrewScheer is irrelevant and will be consigned to the dustbin of history. Perhaps his successor will have better luck. CPC_HQ

globepolitics yea, but not in Canada though.

Possible to hold socially conservative views and be prime minister: ScheerAndrew Scheer remains convinced that a prime minister can hold conservative views on divisive issues like same-sex marriage and abortion and still be trusted by Canadians not to impose them on the country. He should have gone full bore. He would have won, if he’d stood up against the strange sex stuff - and for legal immigrants, over mass migration. He would have won over two HUGE socially conservative blocks. Scheer is out of his gourd. No one on the social left will trust a social conservative to protect abortion/LGBT, especially if the conservative base is demanding it to be addressed. What a spineless coward. Absolutely delusional and craven attempt to get votes. 🙆🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

‘That has never happened before’: Leaders’ overlapping speeches were a messy end to divisive electionScheer began his concession speech while Singh was still talking. Then Scheer was interrupted within minutes by Trudeau Once again none of them come out looking good Trudeau is and always will be a spoiled, entitled brat who has no moral values at all. No idea of right and wrong. This is of course all because of his privileged upbringing😂😂😂😂 I was a little miffed when they cut Jagmeet short to go to scheer. However, I laughed my butt off when they cut andy boy, 2 minutes into his speech to show Trudeau (the better man) speak.
