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 ...

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
