Scheer’s tenure certainly had its ups and downs. His record is far from perfect. But he deserves more credit than many in the media, and even some within his own party, have given him

So much has happened in the 38 months since Scheer was first elected as Conservative leader that it’s hard to keep track.

He also deserves credit for resisting pressure on his right flank from Bernier and even from within his own ranks to reverse the party’s support for robust immigration. Scheer’s pre-election speech on the conservative case for minority rights, pluralism and immigration was one of the brightest moments of his leadership.

There’s probably some truth to this. Scheer’s responses to questions about hot-button issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage were awkward and uncomfortable. His unwillingness to be direct and vulnerable attracted greater scrutiny and bred suspicion among uncommitted voters.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

He did a fantastic job of losing the election, much appreciated. Thank you Andrew.

No he doesn’t

Awww maybe you can help Scheer get a job scraping gum off Donald Trump shoes, as that’s all this lying hack of a politician is trained to do!! America Republicans own this paper!! Say no more!! 🤬

No, he gets too much credit...read

Me: Nah.

he's done, and no he doesn't

Mr Scheer belongs right where he is

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣 Says the american newspaper.

Credit for lying 🤥 are you frickin kidding us? Your news is as crappy and bull like he was. Shame on you so called adults. What a joke, he shamed the Catholic’s

Narrator: No he doesn't.

Andrew who? Name doesn't ring a bell...

For what⁉️

No

For what?

Credit, too funny.

Andrew Scheer deserves nothing he should have been voted out of office along with every Conservative since they are just criminals

Nope.

The only difference between Andrew Scheer and a sociopath is that he's not a sociopath. In other words, nobody forced him to do the dumb things he did - he undermined the credibility of the HoC of his own free will. Well, maybe Mr. Harper pulled a string or two.

Yes, he deserves more credit for being an American.

Not according to that has been jerk, Charles Adler!

Credit for what?

Fuck off. Sorry all you non swearers out there. I’ve been really good lately but I’m pulling it out for this ridiculous headline.

Well ya, because he doesn't do anything. Why should he deserve credit? He's idiot 2 following fordnation who is idiot 1

From the CPC members. Good. Give him credit. Let him keep the money he stole. But Canadians in general do not have to give him any credit. He was destructive to Canadian politics and we are all better off with him out of sight.

Another puff piece pandering to the right from NP. This media group has nothing of value to contribute to our discourse. It's all a bunch of a traditionalists bleating. BoycottPostMedia

B.S.

WTF did he do for me or Canada? NOTHING !

Whatever

😂😂😂😂😂 ya right. What joke American rag your paper is. Not worthy to line a bird cage.

Thank you for the good laugh!

Lol ok

He turned the Conservative party from one you could debate with to one you can’t take seriously...🤦🏼‍♂️

He was a HALLWAY MONITOR. 🤦‍♀️

Now that would be fake news.

The man has literally been handed everything in his life with a silver spoon, delete this.

What possibly for?

He does get credit, for spending $500,000 in party funds (donations) on his personal expenses.. and for completing one of four IBAS certifications required to become an insurance broker.. which Andrew believed made him an actual insurance broker 🤔 😆 😆

American media in Canada - Go Home!

He got it

Okay, everyone on this thread: The National Post is the (ahem) “journalism” arm of the Conservative Party. Expect nothing else. They take their orders from the US.

No. He very honestly doesn’t.

National post still shilling for this guy? Is there no other boots to lick

BAHAHAHA Oh....you're serious? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *inhale* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

No, no he doesn't

He was really good at keeping a seat warm.....Or does he need more credit for using donor money to send his kids to private school and to buy a minivan?

Are you kidding me? How much of someone else’s money did he pay you to write that load of crap?

Scheer was voted by his party to win an election. Despite having the election handed to his party on a golden platter, he still managed to lose it. That and the party hasn't evolved from 2015. Scheer is a failure.

Bahaha bahaha bahaha bahaha bahaha bahaha

Yep.

He lost an election that was handed to him on a silver platter. How does he deserve more credit?.

MrStache9 AndrewScheer did do some positives things. Sadly he ran a poor campaign and let the very divisive and unethical Justin retain his premiership. Nonetheless that will end soon and we can reunite Canadians and Canada under a very solid new CPC_HQ leader. cdnpoli

He actually deserves less credit and should probably go away forever soon.

Ugh, you call yourselves journalists? 🤮🤢

He stole millions ....he deserves to be in jail

Right wing propaganda outlet lauds Scheer, who while pulling down $220K+ a year (and free room and board in a MANSION!), had to dip into taxpayer subsidized party funds to pay for private religious indoctrination for his children and to pay for his minivan.

No he doesnt

Hahahaha

LMAO. Oh, you mean it?

Credit for what? Sheeshhh

Lmao I just threw up in my mouth.... what nonsense AndrewScheer

credit yes for not having a platform during the last election, for waking up the Bloc voters for destroying WE for robbing his own party and for continually saying he is the leader but forgetting the interim part of the title for fibbing about his education and credentials etc

He doesn't deserve anything. He was a terrible leader.

The media had a couple of insignificant issues, against Mr. Scheer but the media had $2B in influence money plus another $.8B run by a gang boss, all courtesy of the Liberals. Canada needs a 3 E senate, term limits and checks and balances with criminal not ethics charges.

Actually, this American belongs in the dust bin of history where he belongs.

Conrad Black inspired rag says what?

No. No. No. There I fixed it for you.

With that clickbait headline, the jokes write themselves.

Andrew Scheer brought the real Conservative party into the daylight. Thanks for revealing. Now I know I will never vote Conservative again for the rest of my life at any tier of government.

He’s the grift that keeps on grifting

Nope. Not at all

the headline alone was enough to make me want to🤮🤮🤮

No, he does not.

Andrew Scheer deserves all the credit he gets for being one of the worse political leaders in Canada's history. Even with that 'accomplishment', he'll be forgotten quicker than one of his 'deer in headlights' escapes from a rarely allowed unscripted media question. GoodRiddance

Who?

Hahahahaha, good one! Oh wait, you're serious. Hahahahaha, good one!

No, he certainly does not. He is a distraction from what Canada means and is.

Andrew Scheer deserves a one way ticket to his favorite country, and maybe a solid kick in the ass on the way out.

LOL! More than none? Theoretically possible but I don't think so.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Nah.

It amazes me the liberals are fixated with a 900k ethics violation. But totally forgive a 900 million one. Seems non objective and very hypocritical. Why not just admit you hate the Tories?

No. No, he doesn’t.

Today's Halloween and is dressed up as TheOnion

Didn't he quit?!

Yes we need to remember his kids private schooling paid by party members, an out of control expense account and his free mini van

Lol you mean the Manchuria candidate from the 🇺🇸 GOP? Everyday you sound more like foxnews!

He did a great job..

Andrew Scheer is entitled to credit for breathing and not a penny more. I cannot say the same for . 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Such a incompetent individual

No he doesn’t!

*Narrator* No. No he does not.

Weird way to spell less.

Are you high

For doing what? scheer nothing! IStandWithTrudeau

no❤️

These are but a few examples why Scheer has failed. He’s a Christo-fascist liar, a cheat and a thief. His only claim to fame is trying to unseat JustinTrudeau and push Stephen Harper’s IDU destructive agenda. cdnpoli cdnmedia

Lolz.

Yup he deserves the credit for Jr Castro's second disastrous term. Scheer, against all odds, lost the most winnable election in Can'tadian history. He even managed to arrest a news reporter rather than answer a friendly question. Alberta Independence is the only way forward.

🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm sorry....i'm still laughing...😂😂😂😂😂

he sure does but we live in a terrible place where he will not get it

Oh FFS! Are you kidding? Most ineffectual party leader in decades.

LyingAndy

Policy points doesn’t make up for being a wet noodle. Conservatives need a leader who can adapt and come across sincere, not just repeat talking points

I wish Rona Ambrose was the party leader.

are you kidding me? What delusional whack job wrote this?

You’re absolutely right, he has helped to exspose all the gun loving, racist, homophobic, anti abortion, anti-environment, right wing extremists in the con party. A party of no polices other than I hate Trudeau. A party that never meant a lie they wouldn’t tell to gain power.

Credit for what? Name one positive thing he has done for Canadians Nothing.

Scheer represents what the left detests. A family man of faith, honest and hard working to better Canada. Thanks Andrew for a wonderful job and shame to the liberals and MSM for fabricating lie after lie.

A liar and a thief sound like that pos in the white house.

The dog's tail pretending to be a leader deserves more credit? Ha! cdnpoli

It appears he deserves a kick in the ass 🥂🤷🏼‍♀️

Credit for lying? Credit for whining? Ok.

Lol, no he doesn't. He's an American who tried to steal the PM seat in Canada. The conservative party is nothing more than Americans trying to take over Canada. Period. And I've never voted liberal in my life, FYI.

The only credit Andy deserve's is for being worst then Kim Campbell.

Scheer needs to go back to the U.S. and stay there.

Andrew Scheer is a racist homophobic bigot. The PC Party problem is Canada has evolved. People even some conservatives don't want a leader who is such a bigot.

'we don't trust him because he's American!' - ignorant people

This is exactly why I don’t read your sorry excuse for a newspaper.

No

He certainly deserves more credit for being a very poor leader, great at lying, stealing from his own party, etc... Kudos to Andrew Scheer👏👏👏

He’ll get plenty of it at his shiny new insurance salesman job.

I can't take you seriously anymore and I'm worried about your state of mind. Go get checked by your doctor...

Yeah....right.

15 Ethical Violations.. WOW! Not such a great guy after all.

He was a fraud from start to finish, still is.

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoever wins the leadership bid will have big shoes to fill, Andrew should not have been cast aside, this could really be the end of this party entirely if they do not win the next election by a majority. Believe me their will be no excuse and no place to hide.

Yes, yes he does. He showed us we don’t need or want a Trump wannabe.

Andrew scheer deserves to be in Jail

You've got to be kicking. Vous voulez rire...

There's nothing like a balanced, unpartisan article to enjoy with one's Saturday morning coffee. Where can I find one?

Seriously..Is this man on drugs? 🤣😂🤣 This is just about the most ridiculous thing coming from that ridiculous media source .. But I guess an American Repub owned ‘Canadian’ media would think and print something so glaringly false.

Andrew Sheer needs to leave already.

A true conservative, attention seeking mouthpiece. Why is he still in the news. He’s like a foul odor. Canadians can see right through him.

He deserves no credit. Not once did he show an ounce of leadership to his party or a potential PM, he lacked clarity or stance on all issues, however he did unite his party ghouls on outright hatred for the PM. He destroyed what Rona left him.

He did a great job but fumbled the ball with 10 yards to go. I wish we had PM Scheer instead of PM Trudeau.

Am still disappointed with CPC_HQ for their knives after the election

hahahhaha, what the actual hell are you smoking?

Ha

He lost an election that was in the bag. He mishandled party funds for personal reasons. He's overall garbage who would like a return to 1950s style governance, and may as well be our Trump. The only credit he deserves is showing others how not to be a party leader.

Andrew Scheer is an honourable leader and a decent human being, a rarity in politics these days. The citizens in this country made the huge mistake of choosing fluff over substance, and we will be paying the price for years to come!

He took the Conservatives from 99 seats to 121. That’s a win in any column.

He has acquired enough credit

Yes he does to all you liberal trolls Trudeau deserves a jail cell for life along with his party

No he doesn't. He's a boob. And he would look even worse if Trudeau wasn't an even bigger boob.

A honest person and now in Canada the people do not want a honest politician

I agree .The next PC leader better improve or the PC party will have more problems and the Liberals will stay in power and totally destroy this country

Lol.

LOLOL

So do teachers, nurses and thousands of others who work their asses off, only to see their professions denigrated by conservative politicians who want nothing more than to freeze public sector wages and undo public sector pensions.

Ya, no. He was a whiny sad excuse of a politician. The party of hate, thats what he gave to Canadians when we were at our lowest, never help nor words of encouragement but complained all through and still is.

I'm so glad Canadians have seen this rag for what it is, and learned to completely ignore it.

Oh wow the most inept leader of a political party that I've seen in my time.

No. That statement just confirms that a person can have little to no political experience and be a dumb ass and still become pm of Canada. Dismal!!!

Pffft

Alberta seems to like him

Now they love him.

Sean Speer. Because Andrew Scheer's balls won't lick themselves.

Hahahahahaha

RealMadTrapper Sean_Speer just another one of those ever hateful & divisive CdnMSM types. Fed by grotesquely twisted orgs like Munk School, CCPA, Fraser & Pembina Institutes, etc that generated the deceit for your ilk the reporters, anchors & columnists & then you say this CanArm2011

Can’t get it because the leftists presstitute media paid by Trudeau won’t represent the majority of Canadians !! Sad to see journalism this dispicable

He also deserves to have had a second chance in the next general election, like his predecessor did when he lost to Mr. Martian.

He got tough with Trudeau, unlike whiny Jagmeet

RosemaryHamulka I agree, he's a great man

Ask his constituents what he did for them, if anything. At least Goodale did things for the city and province, but, they smeared him too

The MSM were relentless while he was in charge watch them drop him and go after his successor. It will be a complete display of their left bias.

Darn right he does. Shows up for work does his job and doesn't have someone speak for him like JT.

As a comedian?

Agree, He is intelligent, respectful, hardworking and principled. Received the majority of votes, reduced justintrudeau to a minority.

Absolutely false. Scheer was a dud.

He probably would be the best leader. He has matured a great deal since the election.

'Even his climate change plan was better than most give him credit for. The Liberals created a false political narrative that any climate agenda that didn’t involve carbon taxes was necessarily deficient.'

He played as dirty as the liberals.

Nope.

Sean_Speer

🤮

I feel bad for Scheer ... while he wasn't my choice for leader, he didnt have any time to make his own mark on the conservative party/platform since he had to spend most of it babysitting federal gov./ liberal_party with JustinTrudeau at the helm

He'll not get one iota of respect, gratitude, or credit from me. He lied about who he is and what he was. He was an angry man, a smartass, a symptom of the lack of decorum in Parliament. One of the worst Conservative leaders ever. cdnpoli Sean_Speer

Rightwing Reformers rose to power under a failed Lib party that was in for years. Scheer didn't get a Sponsorship type scandal & Canadians already saw Rightwing Social Cons under Harper. It's that Rightwing Religious Reformer side that hurt him & the party. Like in the US now.

Since when is the national post so right leaning? Odd times when The Toronto Sun is more centrist than the National Post. Also...Andrew Scheer is a douche canoe.

...to work as a broker?

Credit for what? A homophobic, climate change denying tool who had no plan, no personality and zero credibility. ScheerStupidity

He should have attacked during the election but instead seemed to pull his punches. Other than that Mackay was (is) a total douchebag and stabber him in the back

No he doesn't. He lost an election that my dog could have won.

No

NOT CORRUPT, A GOOD FAMILY MAN, INTELLIGENT, WELL PRESENTED...NO CANADA IS NOT INTERESTED...THEY PREFER ASSHOLES

No he doesn’t a fence post could have beat Trudeau after Black Face and two Ethics convictions- and I’m a conservative (fiscal not social)

Lots of credit for not supporting Canadians during a pandemic, adopting american style politics that do not build up Canadians

Huh?

More credit for lying to the public to serve his own interests?

Nah.

You only get credit when credit is due and AndrewScheer is due nothing .

He deserves zero credit. And any number multiplied by zero is zero. He's a zero and always will be.

False.

For what? Rhetorical questions. He deserves nothing but a swift kick in the a**

Are the banks cancelling credit cards now that he's going to be unemployed. Maybe he can get some money from the parties contributing

Never appealed to the Toronto elite, was doomed to fail despite a very winnable election; I am a conservative supporter but you need to be more centrist; the fringe faction of this party needs to be let go otherwise you will always be the official opposition

Hahaha oh hell no. He deserves a mini van ride too the border and a boot in the ass to help him get across.

Why? He did nothing except losing the election that was his!!

Absolutely he does. Good leader for a different time.

That certainly is a “Trumpish” point of view… Going to stop following the national post now

Trudeau needed to be in parliament his last day to say something nice, respectful and see him off like a true leader would do.

He deserves credit for the failure of the conservative movement in Canada to form a government at a time with the Liberals were in deep trouble and on their knees. Scheer did not have the gravitas to draw the vote to him.

Did you forget how he was the engineer in smearing MaximeBernier ? He got to where he was based on corruption, not integrity.

Th only credit AndrewScheer deserves is a one way ticket out of Canada liberal_party

Why?

I’ll take: “You’ve got to be kidding me” For $100 Alex.

LOL

Absolutely not.

No, read through this and it's not convincing. A weak exercise in futility
