iHeart Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 oh...I was around, but barely paying attention, all I remember from those two years is that we ended up playing Musical Coaches both years since the team dumped Ritchie and Daly
Jpan85 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Smh the vast majority of the country has no desire for social conservative policy so let's elect a very social conservative. bearpants 1

kelownabomberfan Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Looks like the Conservatives want to try "Dief the Chief" part two, electing a leader from Saskatchewan. I don't get it as Bernier seemed the logical choice to take on pretty boy, but his opposition to supply management and Kevin O'Leary giving him the kiss of death sunk him.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 You didnt really think the Liberals were going out after only 1 term did you?
iHeart Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 I don't guys he might end up surprising us, not that I support him or anything but still I'm just saying
Mark H. Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 The Conservatives need MPs who can function in 2017. If Scheer has to keep them gagged the way Harper did, because of their socially conservative views, expect a few more Liberal governments
iHeart Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 okay they wanted someone that was going to let the conservative MP's speak freely or whatever stupid mistake Harper made

SpeedFlex27 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 I don't know enough about Scheer to really have an opinion of him or his politics. Althougfh he did say "Radical Islamic Terrorism" & committed our fighter jets back to Afghanistan(?), Syria(?) if elected.
17to85 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 It's a real lame leader here. This is why I hate the ranked ballots. It's hiw Alberta ended up with losers like Stelmach and Redford. When you get compromise candidates as leaders you don't make anyone happy

When you get compromise candidates as leaders you don't make anyone happy I don't know if people would've been happier with Bernier even though he was the front runner. After he left classified info at his girlfriend's place who had ties to the Hell's Angels why should he get a chance to be our Prime Minister? He resigned in disgrace from cabinet but not his HOC seat which is what an "honourable" person would do. That's a major career ending screw up & that's what should have happened; it should have ended his political career. He didn't deserve a second chance yet 9 years later there he was running for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. After that brain fart how could he ever be trusted to make important decisions or keep classified information regarding Canadian security truly secret? Instead these goofball politicians like Bernier seem to think a short time out of cabinet is enough to atone for their dumb decisions or bad behaviour when it's not. Myself, glad he lost.
