THE OFFICIAL KEVIN O'Leary for Prime Minister thread.
- Thread starter Retired_Can_Soldier
- Start date
It's probably more about the media looking to sensationalize the conservative leadership race. They have to cover it but there's no way to make bland on bland interesting to viewers. Suggest that one of the candidates is the Canadian version of a pile of **** and you might get some ratings.
Possibly, it might explain why they stopped harping on Leitch and switched to Kevin.
The similarities between O'Leary and Trump are that they are clown reality stars who don't seem able to think any of their policies through. But the actual details of their policies are likely different. It's hard to say for sure because both of them are so full of ****.
Well, he did drop the national debt to about 40% of GDP from the the 60% he inherited from the Mulroney government.
Damned if I know! Does the P.M. of Bulgaria speak English?
At first glance, maybe. He did shift a Sh*t load of debt from the Feds to the provinces!
Sure did, and if he had been conservative (which technically he was) Liberals would have branded him a heartless bastard and rich goon. But he was with the Liberal Party of Canada and a master at deflection, leaving the blame on Premiers from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
Funny how some refuse to admit or even dispute the facts.
Leitch just might be a better bet than Kevin. Does ability to grow one's personal portfolio translate into ability to manage the country's finances? I question that. People of great wealth have almost certainly have taken some great risks! I don't find Leitch's personality at all attractive but that might be a good thing, could be a sign of a little honesty. (I know, not likely in a politician but there's always a first time)
Martin could be pretty tricky!
Dear Premier Wynne: I Would Have Fired You Long Ago
Dear Premier Wynne,
Thank you for your letter. I have been writing you for a while now and was getting worried you were never going to write back.
I'm getting involved in the Conservative leadership race because I can't stand watching incompetent politicians destroy my country.
You and Justin Trudeau are two of them. Rachel Notley would be the third.
Look at Ontario, if this province were a company it would have been forced to declare bankruptcy ages ago. Because of your neglectful actions, Ontario is the world's most in-debt jurisdiction. Do you understand how bad that is? You and your policies have all but bankrupted a province that was once an economic powerhouse in Canada. If you were the CEO of one of my companies, I would have fired you long ago.
Your complete disregard for the people of Ontario has caused hydro prices to become completely unaffordable for families, sometimes forcing them to choose between groceries and heat. I am sure you saw the video where one homeowner recently broke down in tears as she tried to explain the current situation to Justin Trudeau. His response was to pass the buck and to say this is an Ontario problem.
Premier, when you publicly took the blame and were forced to apologize to Ontarians because hydro prices have risen out of control, you admitted to "not paying close enough attention to some of the daily stresses facing Ontarians' lives."
What were you paying attention to? What exactly do you think your job is, if not to protect and support the people who elected you? How could you have let this happen?
Do you really think Ontario is going to be competitive with Michigan and other northern states after Trump eliminates regulations and lowers taxes? You're dreaming. Admit it, you did not see him coming and now you are totally caught off guard.
Your answer to everything is to raise taxes, take money from businesses that employ Ontarians and then try and re-invest it yourself. I'm sorry, but you are a terrible investor of taxpayers' money. That's why Ontario is $308 billion in debt.
Harsh words? Sure, but it's the truth. Maybe you should consider leaving some money in the hands of Ontario business owners and entrepreneurs who can use it to grow our economy instead of taxing it all away.
Premier, you are clearly out of touch. But if you really think you are doing a good job, then prove it and call an election tomorrow.
Unfortunately, we both know you won't do that, though, when you are sitting with a 16 per cent approval rating in the polls.
But I promise it would be a very popular decision if you did.
Sincerely.
Kevin O'Leary
Conservative Party of Canada Leadership Candidate, Ontario taxpayer and your employer until the next election.

That's pretty prejudiced, don't you think? What do you mean by conservative? That he wants to preserve the environment? That he is a fiscal conservative? There are 1001 kinds of conservative.
Another social libertarian, economic liberal. A classic NeoCon... haven't we had enough of the gutless litte farts in the string of incompetents that goes back to Mulroney, Chretien, Harper, J. Trudeau.
Where is Canada's Trump. You won't find him in the Political Establishment of the Conservatives, Liberals, NDP. O'Leary would be more of the same, a sellout to political convention, economic evisceration, social fragmentation, moral disintegration.
DITCH O'Leary.
Flossy's concern is that he's a capital C conservative. Since he's a card carrying Liberal, that's bad....though he really can't explain why. Much like Trumpites can't really explain how or why giving Carrier millions MAGA, they just like the brand.
There is a more diplomatic way for him to approach Wynne. If he becomes PM, he might have to work with her, so best to disagree on friendly terms.
Anyone calling for a "Trump-Like" candidate to lead Canada might want to consider a change of citizenship, because, brother, that ain't never gonna happen here.
I hope it never happens here, but never say never. It could never happen in the US either... until it did.
Won't be happening, Cold Stream. Kevin's campaign is already gathering steam and I hope that carries him all the way to and through the nomination process ending with him as our newest Conservative leader.
I like Chong and could maybe vote for him if he were in my riding. Unfortunately, his limited French will probably shut him out unfortunately. Anyone but Leitch though. I'll take even O'Leary over Leitch.
I thought that was far more diplomatic than I would have put it. Wynn plays politics. The only way she would work with him is if he was a card carrying Liberal.
