You just watch us. (by "us" I mean the vast majority of silly brainwashed Canadians)

   

Thanks for replying.

I believe that you are inferring that I vote Liberal, but I don't. And it is interesting what you find harmful to Trudeau's image. I could care less about any of those minor issues and I expect most Canadians would not be able to list any of them. What I find most harmful to Trudeau is the pipeline controversy which is a problem he did not create and which forces him to side with the oil industry. This hurts him with many voters who are hostile to big oil and its associated projects. Another issue is the elephant across the border and the flood of refugees fleeing the US. This was not particularly well-handled by Trudeau who actually seemed to encourage refugees to come to Canada.

Like you I could go on with issues that have harmed Trudeau's image. However, the key thing is that despite a number of errors and missteps handed to the Conservatives Scheer has not managed to take advantage of any of them. He is stuck in the polls at about the same level as Trudeau and given the lack of popularity of the NDP and the way Canada's voting system works that probably means four more years of Trudeau.

You might want to read this article from the right-leaning National Post, which seems rather dubious of Scheer's chances.

What Scheer needs is a major issue that will grab the voters' attention. He might find one, but I think the failure of the Conservatives to select a more dynamic leader is going to hurt them. Me, I would have stayed with Harper.

   

Interesting, you allege you are a conservative, yet the lions share of the posts you’ve made would lead me to think you are a dipper...

   

Next, he'll tell you he is one of them " Oh, I'm in the middle, a real centrist."

   

You bring up a good point; the reason Harper lost. Forcing women not to wear what Harper thinks it appropriate, the "Turn in suspicious Muslims" hotline.

Division doesn't work. Trudeau knows that. Scheer has yet to learn it.

   

Division works. However super overt division (i.e. Report Barbaric Practices Hotlines, etc) does not. We haven't learned to be sneaky with our divisive tactics.

   

Division doesn't work on those willing to challenge political viewpoints.

   

fair enough...

   

Flowery bromides about unity have proven ineffective as well as the TransMountain fiasco as shattered any illusion of unity this so-called nation has. Not that I believe that Scheer is that better an option. The man is too milquetoast for my liking.

   

+5 if I was still in the rep point business for that one sentence alone.

   

GO MAX....Scheer is not a leasder. Not now, not ever.

   

It'll be a feel-good moment of a protest vote but that's all. Even if Bernier wins everything afterwards will still stay the same, the way it's always been after every single one of these illusion-shows we call elections.

   

If that is a reference to my posts I find it highly irrelevant. The post is about Scheer's lack of leadership qualities; not my political leanings. And BTW I did not claim to be a conservative.

   

I'd have +5'd him for using 'milquetoast' in a sentence.

   

Don't come in the kitchen if you can't take the heat, friend. My observation is based on the fact you claim to have supported Harper, and absolutely your political views are relevant. We call this "bias". Because you mentioned Harper I made an inference as to your political leanings, if this offends you- we don't have a safety circle.

I'm one of the inmates you were warned about...
