bigg jay Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 "This byelection is a strong message from our community that we want change." - Braden Leslie Ah yes, the PC stronghold that continually votes the same way sure indicated they want change by maintaining the status quo and doing what they always do.

JCon Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 https://twitter.com/i/status/1671198902941253632 Meet Branden Leslie, Pierre Poilievre’s newest Conservative MP. Watch as he promises to push his party even farther to the right with his pro-life, pro-convoy, pro-conversion therapy views. Canadians deserve to know that Branden’s goal is to push the CPC even farther right. I'm a centrist CPC supporter!

Fatty Liver Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Meanwhile in Alberta, David Parker the leader of the Take Back Alberta movement that backstopped Smith, has emerged from radio silence during the election period and is once again out promoting methods of discrimination among the masses. https://twitter.com/i/status/1669873407989800961 https://twitter.com/thebreakdownab/status/1670093706026967040?s=21 Sorry, no idea how to display twitter lately.

I believe that even in their current state the CPC is better for Canada then a Trudeau led Liberal party and its band of liars and criminals. I hope when PP is PM he gives Trudeau the Trump treatment so he can live in shame for his corruption.

The police were investigating this right up until January for possible obstruction charges. They did not file charges but no investigation goes on for two years unless something stunk to high heaven nor did they say he was innocent. The fact that you guys are bragging that Trudeau got away with breaking the law is laughable.

From her unbridled enthusiasm in the following video it sure seems like Michelle Rempel already knew this story had a short shelf life and was about to get pulled, she's almost peeing her pants she's so excited. https://twitter.com/nlmedia11/status/1670859466739261441 To quote Rempel: "Okay huge news is breaking, you need to share this video, this news has to get out here." "You got to share this video because we have to get it out through all these news bands before Justin Trudeau shuts them down." It's a weird coincidence this story broke on the morning of a byelection. WildPath and Wideleft 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put in protest votes the last 2 elections. I am not a die hard CPC. I just won't waste my vote this year and will vote for the only option available to get rid of this current government. The NDP is just another vote for Trudeau right now. I'm not going to lose a second of sleep voting CPC if it means getting rid of this horrid government we have right now and force the Liberals to regroup and rethink things. I can't think of any government in my lifetime that has shown so little regard for the truth, and the citizens of Canada than this Liberal government. They need to be turfed.

The Libs and NDP will paint everyone who doesn't vote for them as right wing zealots and claim they fully occupy the middle of spectrum exclusively. Anything to the right are baby killing racists. It is part of their game plan for the last several years and it's a crock. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a voter who wants small government, fiscal restraint, and lower taxation and a move away from Keynesian economics. Don't let the never ending attempts to label us get to you, it's just garbage. The vast majority of CPC voters and members surf very close to the middle of the political spectrum and lean slightly right. The PPC are wingnuts, and so too are some members of the CPC.....but that doesn't mean that the Liberals and NDP don't have their fair share of the same....but we're not supposed to talk about that.
