“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

ERIN O’TOOLE -- Trudeau’s legacy will be hundreds of billions in new debt, higher taxes and less opportunity for working families in the resource, forestry and manufacturing sectors

Canada is a great country because of the freedom, opportunity and respect that our nation embodies for its people.

 

We have stood for these principles from Vimy Ridge to Kandahar and today we face another test. Our duty as Conservatives is to build upon our vision for our great country and to preserve these liberties and opportunities for our children, our grandchildren and for the world.

 

Trudeau’s leadership, or lack thereof, has put our principles and prosperity at risk and weakened our ability to face the threat of COVID-19.

 

Trudeau’s legacy will be hundreds of billions in new debt, higher taxes and less opportunity for working families in the resource, forestry and manufacturing sectors and the toughest prospects in a generation for our young people who will be saddled with the results of his reckless economic mismanagement.

 

Anti-development legislation like Bill C-69, tanker bans and political cancellation of pipeline projects helped create the 'Shut Down Canada' blockade movement that threatened our future prosperity even before the pandemic did.

 

Trudeau failed Canadians then, and his dithering response to COVID-19 and cowering approach to the Communist Party of China continues to fail us now.

 

I believe that Conservatives do best when we focus on strong ideas for our future and when we leverage the strength of grassroots across the country. The policy ideas in this document represent where I think the puck is heading before the next election.

 

It will be up to our team and our grassroots policy process to determine which we will place before Canadians, and throughout this leadership election, I welcome Party members to share their policy ideas with me.

Together, we will build a prosperous future for all Canadians.

 

As leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, I commit to work with ALL Conservatives to live up to the promise of our great country.

 

My family and I are devoted to working with our team to rebuild our party in areas where we are weak – Southern Ontario and parts of urban and suburban Canada - to ensure we win back the trust of Canadians.

 

I will not rest until we are competitive in every riding in Canada ahead of the next election.

 

Erin O’Toole ... is the Member of Parliament for the riding of Durham (Ontario) and the Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development. He was first elected to Parliament in a 2012 by-election and re-elected in the 2015 general election.

In the Conservative government he served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade before his appointment to cabinet as Canada’s Minister of Veterans Affairs.

O’Toole is one of four candidates who are vying for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
