FORSETH – Why is Chuck Strahl misleading members of the Conservative Party of Canada

UPDATE --- I have been just advised as to why there is a  discrepancy in polling results, noted in my original post from this morning:

" ... the official poll cited by Chuck Strahl is the one taken by Zoom after the debate, so that poll is of the people who actually watched it.

The polls cited by VanC were conducted on Twitter, so only people with Twitter accounts answered that, and ANYONE on Twitter could answer that.

So much as I love Dr. Lewis, the article you linked to is fake news, and Chuck Strahl is not a liar. He is citing the more accurate poll ..."


STILL ... it is a shame that there was not clarity provided as to when and how the pol was taken and conducted ... Alan




WHY IS CHUCK STRAHL, a supporter of Erin O'Toole in the campaign to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, misleading members of the party?

 

This morning I received an email from him, sent out by the O'Toole campaign. In the email Strahl

Screen shot of email
from Chuck Strahl
(July 12th at 8:22am)
indicated that prior to the BC EDA debate on Tuesday, that Erin and Leslyn were tied at 33% support amongst viewers.


HOWEVER ... he then claimed that after the debate, support had changed with viewers giving O'Toole 37% support compared to 26% support for Dr, Leslyn Lewis (see attached screen shot from the email I received at 8:22am this morning).

 

THAT IS NOT TRUE as you can see in the screenshot image of a Tweet by the Vancouver Centre EDA. It show that Leslyn Lewis was clearly the winner coming out with 45.5% of debate viewers indicating she had won.

 

Even Tweets by Vivian Krause and one by the Post Millennial had Leslyn Lewis winning the debate.

 

TELL THE TRUTH Chuck ...

Absence of BC NDP Transportation Minister, and the MLA whose riding this issue falls within, demonstrates a continued lack of care and attention for rural BC

       BC Government photo More than 600 residents of Harrop and Glade, B.C. face the prospect of being cut off from essential services as a looming ferry strike threatens their livelihoods and well-being. Pete Davis, Conservative MLA for Kootenay Rockies is calling on the local NDP MLA for Kootenay Central and Minister of Rural Services, Brittny Anderson, to put rural communities first. “ This isn’t just about logistics; it’s about the people who depend on this ferry to access food, work, and critical services ,” Davis said. “ The residents of Harrop and Glade deserve leadership. Their local MLA and Minister must stand up for them and ensure their voices are heard .” Davis is urging the government to take swift action to bring both sides together and prioritize a resolution that avoids further disruption. “ It’s time for the government to lead, support rural communities, and secure a fair deal for everyone involved ,” Davis added.

CTV: Year-end interview with John Rustad on BC Conservatives' remarkable 2024

It’s been quite the year for BC Conservative Leader John Rustad – his party soaring from less than two per cent of the popular vote and no seats in the 2020 election to nearly winning this year’s election ... ... He insists he’ll support free votes by his members – and what sets his party apart is its willingness to allow such free speech. “That’s a big thing that you’ll see between us and the NDP – you will never see them say anything outside of their message box,” said Rustad. “And that’s not how I want to do politics. I actually think it’s OK to have differences, it's OK for people to disagree. But we do agree on the big things, the things that are important for the people of British Columbia"...

FORSETH -- Trash talk of one uncouth individual causes a firestorm of opposing opinions

LANGUAGE WARNING: WOW … a few seconds – 8 words -- of uncouth and vulgar speech has brought about a firestorm of opposing opinions across social media. Those 8 words?  “ Get the f--- out of BC. You suck ”, were spoken by twice failed School Trustee (Nelson 2022 and Castlegar 2024) Emily Duggan, who is also, apparently, subject to a peace bond and ordered to stay away from an elementary school. I posted a story about this on my own political Facebook page , this morning (Sunday December 29th), and boy did it start a raft of comments, agreeing with her right to say what she did, but also firmly opposing her comment.  Here’s just a few examples: •    He has it coming. The narcissist •    Why? They're getting old enough to know that their Dad is well, well past his governing expiry date. He is genuinely hated in many corners of this polite land of ours . •    Trudeau is trash and he wrecked our country. You’re part of the problem! Peopl...
