If you ask me, the day that Canada made the AR15 a restricted firearm was the day that American politics came north. Without American pressure, the AR15 enjoyed the same status as the Ruger mini-14 .223. The Ruger shares the same fundamental specs, yet it is still enjoyed as a nonrestricted firearm.
Consevative Party leadership contest
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
Well, if she can argue against that stupid Motion 103, which is coming up this week, she might get my vote. Yes, not a lot of discussion on this motion lately, wonder why!! Someone trying to hide it!! The vote is coming up March 23rd, and no one should take this one likely, it is a motion that threaten free speech in Canada.
Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose says she is “upset” with Conservative leadership candidate Brad Trost’s comments about not marching in any gay pride parades.
“I’m the first Conservative Party leader to march in a gay pride parade and I was very proud to do it,” Ambrose said in an interview with Global News. “My message to all Canadians, specifically on this issue, is that any Canadian who is gay or lesbian is welcome in the Conservative Party.
In an email sent out Monday night to supporters and a Facebook message published Tuesday morning, Trost encouraged people to sign up in the dying hours before yesterday’s deadline to register as a party member and help choose the next leader.
Trost staffer Mike Patton tweeted out a video explaining Trost’s position on pride parades in more detail saying, “In case you haven’t noticed, Brad’s not entirely comfortable with the whole gay thing.”
Ambrose wouldn’t say whether or not Trost’s comments could hurt the Conservative brand, but said that ultimately, party members will have the final say.
“Mr. Trost is running for the leadership and it will be our members that make that decision, and I’m going to leave it up to them. I have a lot of faith in them.”
“What I say to anyone who is gay and lesbian is, ‘We will defend your rights as a minority, but we are also going to reduce your taxes.’ And that’s what I focus on. I focus on the economic benefits that a Conservative movement could bring to this country.”
In an interview Wednesday, Trost said he was “arguing for the traditional conservative position” on gay marriage.

BY: STEPHEN HARPER, CANADA’S 22ND PRIME MINISTER
Over these past few months, as numerous candidates have announced their intention to run to replace me as leader of the Conservative Party, I have done a lot of reflecting. Also a lot of masturbating. But mostly reflecting. Should I stay neutral and let the members decide who to lead? Or should I use my influence to help shape the future of my beloved party?
Originally I chose to stay neutral, and let the chips fall where they may. But I can no longer do that. Not when the Party is threatened by outsiders like Kevin O’Leary, or people who actually say what I only thought like Kellie Leitch. And especially not when a candidate has entered that is so perfect, such a natural leader, like the Beaverton Corporation.
During my years in politics I came to one fundamental conclusion: humanity is weak and can not be trusted. That is why I always acted as much like a cyborg as possible. But even I never considered the possibility of having a leader with no soul whatsoever. A corporation, registered in the Philippines for tax purposes, whose directors are only interested in making a profit no matter the cost in blood and human appendages? Who could be a better choice for the next Prime Minister of Canada?
But it is not just the fact that they have a board of governors where their heart should be. I am also a huge fan of their policies, including their plan to frack Niagara Falls and eliminate Montreal.
So to my fellow Conservatives I ask that you join me in supporting the Beaverton Corporation. Let us come together and use the power of our dedication, organization and whiteness to elect the Beaverton and remove Justin Trudeau from power.

Frack Niagara Falls? They already built a tunnel diverting the water flow during the night, anyways...
Marijuana is a "dangerous drug," Conservative leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch said Tuesday as she promised to undo the Liberal government's efforts to legalize it, should she become her party's leader and eventually prime minister.
There are too many public health and safety concerns surrounding marijuana for it to be legal, Leitch told The Canadian Press as the government prepares to table legislation later this week to legalize and regulate its sale.
Political Ottawa has been buzzing for weeks about what will be in the bill, expected Thursday. One key task-force recommendation that the government could act on is imposing an age limit of 18 on those who seek to buy it.
"Look, I will be reviewing it, but I'm a pediatric orthopedic surgeon — I have personal views on this that I feel very strongly about," Leitch said in a roundtable interview.
"I don't think that we should be legalizing this drug; this is a dangerous drug and I don't want it in the hands of children."
I have young people come to me as a physician and say 'You know, I don't understand, Dr. Leitch — I'm told not to do drugs, but can I do this drug now?" she said."
Legalization has strong upside: prof
"This is a way of responding to the reality of the fact that rates of use are extremely high in young people and we need to take an approach that acknowledges public health, acknowledges the approach of criminalization has not deterred young people from using it," Philpott said.
Benedikt Fischer, a University of Toronto psychiatry professor and senior scientist with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said there are clear risks and harms associated with cannabis, but a strong upside to legalization from a public health perspective.
Trying to restrict its use to people aged 25 and up will only drive young people to the black market, he added.
"What will those people under 25 do if they are not allowed legal access?"

You could always look at candidates like Scheer who sees Conservative values as the core unifying factor that everybody leans towards regardless whether Liberal, Con or Dipshit.
We all have Conservative values and we all have Liberals values.
Who is willing to stand for both?

I think she is outright lying when she uttered this;
I have young people come to me as a physician and say 'You know, I don't understand, Dr. Leitch — I'm told not to do drugs, but can I do this drug now?" she said."
Really? What kids would be asking her this...........?

How many drinks does she have for lunch?
If she is any kind of a doctor at all she would know that sugary drinks are far more dangerous that marijuana for your health. So is most of the stuff Big Pharma pays doctors to prescribe.
The voters should just demand all bill are voted on via a referendum and then there is no 'leader', there is only a spokesperson.
I think she is outright lying when she uttered this;
I have young people come to me as a physician and say 'You know, I don't understand, Dr. Leitch — I'm told not to do drugs, but can I do this drug now?" she said."
Really? What kids would be asking her this...........?
My mom was like a doctor and i asked her questions about what drugs did what all the time, when i was younger....
I'd say it's about a dead heat, sugar destroys the cardio pulmonary system, pot destroys the brain!
I assume she is for alcohol prohibition.
I mean, by her logic, it being legal is the government condoning its use, including by children. As a medical doctor, I'm sure she understands the perils of underage drinking. I assume she will be canvassing door-to-door to get prohibition on the Conservative Party platform when she's leader.
But I doubt the subjective context goes that deep. She's very much just appealing to the trapped-in-a-bygone-era CPC voter subdivision.
She's that aunt who forwarded you spam about Obama conspiracies.........

Sounds to me like she might as the other 13 candidates could split the vote. I don't know how likeable she is personally but she could be the smartest of all the candidates. O'Leary is a little hung up on himself methinks.
Holy shit, she's asking for 25-400 bucks in her emails? She had got to be hurting. Bernier is asking for 5.
****, Canadians are being ripped off by Justin Trudeau.
He's trying to buy a seat at the UN by sending aid money around the world.
He's building roads in Africa with your tax dollars.
He pledged $2.6 billion to fight climate change in developing countries.
And last month, he announced millions more to fund abortions abroad.
My position on foreign aid is clear:
Canada should not fund economic development abroad, and humanitarian aid should be given only to help save lives in crisis situations.
No country has ever been lifted out of poverty by handouts.
They need to reform their economy, free their entrepreneurs from bureaucratic shackles, respect the rule of law, and trade.
We have people who struggle here. We can't send billions in tax dollars overseas when there is no tangible benefit to Canadians.
Foreign aid should be given only when there is a genuine humanitarian crisis.
Famine. Rapid outbreak of disease. War. Natural disasters. These are real problems.
In times of real need, Canada can and will do its part.
But we must stop funding things based on a flawed left-wing ideology.
If you're with me, donate $5 right now.
Sincerely,
Maxime Bernier

I don't suppose anybody considered cutting a deck of cards, or maybe an epic battle of rock-paper-scissors?
