A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

To be clear... I didn’t leave my Party. My Party left me.

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

Conservatism is no longer a political ideology, but a repository of loathing and despair. By giving high office to buffoons, by choosing thugs as their representatives, the Conservative brand is now a marker of contempt for political order itself. #onpoli https://t.co/M9eyaDn2wZ

“What we need from our leaders is to understand the social fragmentation and political polarization that got us here and a resolve to mend these rifts, not to exploit them for political gain.”

Poilievre is the poison, not the cure.

Between Poilievre federally and Smith provincially I can’t even pretend to call myself a conservative anymore. I’m politically homeless. I feel sad as conservativism was my connection to my grandfather, to my family, how I grew up. But I’m done. I want no part of this.

I don’t really know what PeePee is…. But he’s not a Conservative.

To be clear, lack of “Freedom” is not a problem in Canada.

It is a fake issue, drummed up by a Conservative party with no genuine critique of the Trudeau government and absolutely nothing to offer as new policy.

Don’t be fooled.

ICYMI - A perceptive take on the current crisis in #Conservatism , with genuine parallels to Canadian politics. Are there Canadian Conservatives out there who can save the #CPC? If not, then democracy itself is at risk.

It saddens me that, yes, this tragic conclusion is now unavoidable.

If Pierre Poilievre is the darling of Canadian Conservatives, and Poilievre is apparently only appealing to white people, then can I rightly assume that Canada now has a ‘white supremacy’ party? @CPC_HQ

Soul-searching is both highly overdue and equally unlikely.

Unfortunately.

[Nathan Stall @NathanStall]

With the #Ottawa occupation coming to an end, Conservatives have a lot of soul-searching to do.

Doug Ford and the PCs abandoned Ottawa and failed to help, while Federal CPCs encouraged protestors and minimized the occupation. Both parties are flirting with a shift further right.

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

All Emergency Act measures will be “in compliance with the Charter, are time-limited, and designed solely to stop illegal blockades and occupations causing economic and social damage.”

So what the hell are the Conservatives objecting to?

Tricky indeed.

Luckily, they’ve had years of practice, now.

“Canadians have shown little appetite for far-right populism. Whether the convoy suggests the political climate is becoming more hospitable to such ideas will no doubt be a key question in the coming Conservative leadership race.”

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

“There is a sweet spot for the Conservatives to land in, at centre-right, where Red Tories but also scores of Blue Liberals are quietly uncomfortable with the economic direction or lack thereof of the Trudeau government.”

"Canadians deserve a choice that’s in the centre of the political spectrum but leans right. What it doesn’t need is a Conservative Party of Canada that’s a party of anger and resentment, a bunch of Trumpian wannabes."

“O’Toole’s desire to make the #CPC more moderate was the correct course for the country and likely for the party. Those taking control now.. include anti-vaxxers, social conservatives, climate-change skeptics and Donald Trump-styled hotheads.”

#cdnpoli https://t.co/iovO8YilGt

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

“The Conservatives who defenestrated Mr. O’Toole are misunderstanding Canada, Canadians and even Canadian conservatism. Canada is not America. Its people aren’t, its problems aren’t, its answers aren’t and its conservatism isn’t.”

#cdnpoli #cpc https://t.co/p38HsBzV0p

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

Apparently some Conservative MPs want to take the #CPC even further down the same batshit crazy, right-wing rathole of Trumpism that is destroying politics in the U.S.

What the hell are they thinking?

[A Red Tory 9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ @A_Red_Tory]

So, Erin O’Toole asks, “How did Canada, a country that has always prized dialogue, discussion, moderation, end up with this anger and spite in our politics?”

Then maybe you shouldn’t be embracing a crowd carrying swastikas?

The CPC “has sitting, prominent members who spew all sorts of conspiracy theory nonsense and have spent the better part of the last decade either disregarding the more troubling aspects of their voter base, or trying to directly pander to them.”

#Shameful.

This #Conservative party is unrecognizable to anyone of my generation.

I’ll come back when you’ve earned back my respect. Until then, count me out.

“The Conservative Party talking points are designed to achieve the party’s real overriding objective: to extract money from stupid people.”

Wasn’t always true. But, hey… that’s where we are.

Kenny and O’Toole “can’t seem to shake off the grumbling of #Conservatives who argue that their liberty and privacy comes first when it comes to vaccination status.”
So, it’s a revolt by the nut jobs in the Party.
That’s unfortunate.
