Scheer resigns

[15444]

His resolution to fight on didn't last too long. Too many knives getting thrown his way.

Next few months should be interesting.

Sorry I checked before posting ...we must have been typing at the same time....

I think the conservatives must have someone in mind....they can't be that stupid...

They will be looking for "eastern bastard" so that they can win in the east the next time. Peter Mckay maybe.

Global breaking that his resignation was DEMANDED!

Alleging CPC funds being used to pay for his children's schooling. JFC, why the hell is it so damned hard to resist the urge to use public service for personal gain?

He had young kids when he started this leadership bid and now he chooses family....Holy phuck this guy has no vision....what the hell was he thinking....

Highly recommended that any leader be elected by a final vote of the assembly next time around.

Houston we have a problem and all media will focus on the conservatives and skippy and company will keep destroying 🇨🇦 canada.

[westernvicki]

Rona please.

Right on. Now the cons can choose a Muslim, Hindu, or Sikh leader with the exact same stance on abortion and gay marriage as Scheer has. And win in a landslide.

Who knew having a stance on something would be so damning?

In all seriousness, Scheer was little more than a temporary caretaker.

Nobody with any gravitas threw their hat in the ring last time around, because NONE of them thought there was hope in hell of unseating Trudeau after one majority term.

They smell blood though now...

Stakes are high. As far as I'm concerned, they're higher for the conservative party than they even are for the liberals.

If the next leader doesn't find a path to victory against a weakened Trudeau, I think this party will rip itself apart at the seams.
