Consevative Party leadership contest

[Curious Cdn]

This is what is easy about having Constitutional love within politics,you don't have to have all that emotional ambivalence within the he game of politics
Actually if you have an interest of Constitutional application go through any door you can go through,any Party,leader,etc will do,there is no time for emotional sediments In the humanities ,no time for emotional turnmoil ,
I see people like yourself be filled with turmoil,and I am great full I am emotionally content with what I do,
Try to be convicted to what you believe then you are free


Ms.Ambrosia is someone I struggle with for any leadership value
I know this is old thinking,
I also know these ideologies have facts to back up my statement
As a rule I am fiercely defensive of all women in politics,but Rona rubbed me wrong
Then I know people grow up in politics
I will try to pay attention

Ambrose is currently not eligible.

Lisa Raitt is from the riding next to ours and she is pretty well known in our community as a practical type. Most of the candidates seem pretty impractical types who have small, fringe followings that would lead the Conservatives into oblivion while they pursue their petty ideologies.

Upon consideration,this is not true to day I don't have time for emotional sediment
As I traveled along my auditing paths,I met a lot of none compassion from really ugly characters of powerful influence,
I was turmoiled with the information I was garnered and could not find a place to park my turmoil,people capitalized on spin and process to disorientate and alienate my intentions
I vowed I would be more compassionate to people's tears in politics,I can reassure you they are not CEOs,
So I give compassion and emotion in politics ,when needed

I remember when no one gave me nothing but a bad case of PTS

But then again I have fond memories of all the distractions,including people

I, personally just on a hunch would pick Lisa Raitt or Rona Ambrose light years ahead of Kellie Leitch, there is something not too genuine about that woman! Can't exactly put my finger on it!

Are ANY of the candidates MORE impractical than our current leader?

Can't find a federal conservative leader I find of interest or value,I do have a provincial favourite

Aw, your mother wrecked you! Poor thing!

Rachael Cun-tley is not a conservative

According to some our Premier is a good Conservative a real Conservative!
I don't think you would see it,your one of those JK Conservatives aren't you

There are real Conservatives then there are fake Conservatives,can't we just lead without labels?

Real Conservatives lead knowing shoulder checking is like throwing dirt,lost ground never to be retrieved
The hello yesterday crowd should only rally,slander,spin wheels,blame,withhold,bullyand take pity on themselves,
We need visionaries to be truly Conservative,and unfortunately comments against our Premier s hard work is not it,
There is not a true Conservative label identity worthy in Alberta
Name one?

Alive

Ok Stephen What's his name,the old Edmonton mayor

We need firmer control exercised in the terrortories. These largely empty spaces in the territoreis must be brought on line.

Hardly anyone lives there.

Stop talking about Alberta like that.

They're all victims.

Lisa Raitt slams Kevin O'Leary, Kellie Leitch


Raitt asked Conservatives and all Canadians to go to her website, which features a list of criticisms of O'Leary and two videos and asks visitors to provide their email address and postal code. Askedif the website was designed for data mining, Raitt said it was a bid to mobilize like-minded Conservatives.

"It's an absolute exercise in organizing people who have the same point of view with respect to what a Conservative Party that can win in 2019 looks like. Absolutely," she said. "That's why the website is there."

"If principled and pragmatic Conservatives don't join together, we will see our party hijacked by the loudest voice in the room," she warned.

Raitt is the latest in a string of candidates who have lashed out at O'Leary.

On Tuesday, Andrew Scheer called on him to "fish or cut bait," and make a decision on whether to run before the Jan. 17 French language debate in Quebec City. O'Leary, who does not speak French, has tasked an "exploratory" team and launched his own website to drum up public support.

Erin O'Toole and Michael Chong have also criticized comments O'Leary made last month on Ottawa radio station CFRA when he said Canadians are known as peacekeepers, not warriors, and that "there is nothing proud about being a warrior."

'Irresponsible' populism: Lisa Raitt slams Kevin O'Leary, Kellie Leitch - Politics - CBC News

I like Lisa Raitt by I think she is wrong to try to block O'Leary and Leitch from the leadership race. What's to fear? If the Party doesn't like them they will not vote for them. But I don't think it's democratic to refuse anyone who qualifies the chance to run.
Like it or not, O'Leary and Leith are popular with the general public right now. I think it's because the silent majority are tired of the same old, same old and want somebody different like Trump.
Canada needs some leader who will stand up to the demands of the pc crowd and say 'no' to the refugee plan, out of control debt, idiotic gender and ethnic promotion, etc. Trying to please all elements of the pubic is not working. It's time to take a stand one way or the other.
Trudeau made it clear which way he was going to go and he won. Not because he is smart, he isn't; not because he is right, he isn't; but because he at least said what he was going to do. Politicians who keep a foot on each side of the line to please everybody and get their votes never get any trust or respect.
With Trudeau making a complete *** of himself and wrecking the country, the next contender should go firmly the opposite direction and be clear about it.
JMHO

Kellie Leitch isn't popular with anybody but salty social conservatives. Hopefully the Conservative Party listens to fiscal conservatives like me and runs away from social conservatives. We need somebody electable.

The salty ones are the nuts.

 

[JLM]

when I was in the dental office today waiting I read up on Kellie Leitch in McLean's magazine & apparently she isn't quite as I had her pegged. There's a few dimensions to the woman, one being intelligence. You can just never tell!

Conservative leadership candidate Rick Peterson proposes hiking GST to 9%

The Vancouver venture capitalist previously said he'd cut corporate income taxes to zero to promote economic growth and create jobs.

But his expanded economic plan, released Tuesday, goes against a promise that helped the Conservatives win power in 2006 under former leader Stephen Harper.

Peterson says he would reverse the two per cent cut Harper made to the GST — and raise it even further, from its current five per cent to nine per cent.

Some economists questioned the wisdom of Harper's move to cut the tax at the time, calling the move regressive and pointing out that it added billions to Canada's deficit.

But it was politically popular for the Conservatives and an accomplishment they campaigned on for years.

Similar consumption taxes in other OECD countries with which Canada competes average about 19 per cent, Peterson's release noted.

Peterson said the revenue raised would be used to balance the budget within two years and pursue the "largest-ever" infrastructure building program in Canada's North.

Peterson, who demonstrated his bilingualism during the party's leadership debate last month in Moncton, will have the chance to elaborate on his ideas at next Tuesday's all-French debate in Quebec City.

Conservatives vote on a new leader May 27.
