Maybe if she learns French properly and decides to be a little more cognizant of those who aren’t believers, but until then... she has time to mature.
But my honest belief is (and this is my personal opinion) that pushing a socially conservative agenda will sentence us to more Trudeau. I absolutely loathed Chretien and I’d rather have him in charge right now than Pierre jr.

I agree with all of that. I think we are still in rough shape but hope O’Toole decides to live his best moments starting now as I wish for any prime minister or party leader.
I hope Polliviere is waiting and maturing for a crack at the job and excels when he gets there but I also feel we are truly running out of time before it’s just too late for recovery. Rempel seems like a valuable asset, time will tell but the clock IS ticking and the world is burning

Its well known that the O'Toole campaign had dirt on Polliviere and thats why he didn't run.O'Toole ran a slimy campaign, just like Kenney and the conservative faithful took it hook, line, and sinker. Say what you want about Sloan but he's a man with ethics.

Politics are dirty. Thats why we need to reduce government and minimize the centralization of power.

Did I miss what 'the dirt' was on Pierre Poilievre?
Your source is questionable.

I don't see O'Toole as a big step up from Sheer. We need someone capable, widely acceptable and with some charisma. Guess time will tell how this works out.

Where is this widely known?
Sorry I didn’t realize this was originally a quote from Raab. Considering the source I will assume it’s more fiction fantasy than factual.

I'm not giving credence to the quote, just my opinion on O' Toole. I see a puffy faced, old looking white guy, at the podium. No Justin boyish good looks here to wow the gullible. Guess we won't have very long to find out if he's going to save us. We should all wiish him well.
