O’Toole had a phone call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday. Both sides considered it a cordial conversation, according to their offices, but soon enough the two will be squaring off across the aisle in the House of Commons, or out on the campaign trail depending on how soon the next federal election is called.
The shutdown of Parliament for a month stopped a series of committee studies into the ongoing WE Charity student grant controversy, and O’Toole is imploring Trudeau to allow the committees studying the matter to get back to it in short order in the fall. He said that he has already reached out to Peter MacKay and Leslyn Lewis and plans to speak with them on Tuesday about what their involvement will be in the months ahead, while he’s yet to articulate whether Derek Sloan will play a role under his leadership. Over the campaign Sloan’s remarks“A lot of things were said, we're united now, we're going to talk together as a caucus,” O’Toole said. “I have great respect for all my colleagues.
In his first day inside the Opposition Leader’s Office, alongside some of his campaign staff, O’Toole spoke to his predecessor Andrew Scheer, who has offered to help ensure a smooth transition. “I'm going to be a bit of a sea change for Canadians because, you know what, I respect people, even when I don't agree with them. I won a mandate not hiding my track record… I’m not afraid to fight for things I believe in, and I'm not afraid to respect people that have another point of view. That is why the Conservatives can win, when we respect one another in our coalition,” he said.
The polls say he’ll be ready to stay in opposition...
TCB = MAGA It will not work in Canada
As a former corporate lawyer, I'm sure he's always prepared to seize power.
With a one note message, ANGER! CONTRARIAN THOUGHTS! Cons. think they are ready. Canada needs real progressives, UBI, GLI, HousingFORALL, HousingIsHealthcare, not the same old neoliberal fossilized rethoric.
CTVToronto Why does it seem like this was already in the works as it's all the media or opposition have been talking about for months as Canadians are worried sick about the pandemic & unemployment. Was there always going to be another election since JT got re-elected?
This Canadian is ready to vote for anyone but Trudeau I will be watching the No Confidence vote to see which parties amd which MPs support and tolerates corruption and exploitation and which stand up for the country He will get my support by earning it just like the rest
CTVToronto Canada is excited to elect an old white guy with out of touch views. 😐
I can’t wait
