Scheer resigns

[binthere]

Trudeau's noble yet verrrry humble Bon voyage to Scheer very indicative of his worst fear. A party that does the right thing by ousting the garbage.

[blackpowder]

There is no way in hell half the country will have any representation until the premiers stand up.
The cons are just trying to play the same old game under the same old rules.
Done. Full stop.

A new leader will face a party with potential divisiveness caused by rural and western alienation, plus the more socialist Canadian psyche and more than likely an economy that is both polarized and has issues, this new leader must be able to bridge many gaps and solitude's. (Rona please).

However, not only Scheer needs to resign, the whole advisory board needs to stand for reelection at the same time. New blood is needed as well in governance of the party.

Should the process of voting for a leader be reviewed, after all Scheer left that convention with tepid support at best, the many ballots required to achieve majority did not confidence bring, and indeed not party solidarity? And party solidarity will be tenuous as best this term, in face of a divided nation as well, what a final vote does is it solidifies the assembly & should be considered a necessary hurdle to overcome. But in this case majority rules: choose delegates well.

Conservatives must fill the vacuum to the right of center, in divided times.

The shake up needs to reach beyond Scheer.

Sheer was never supposed to compete in this election. Everyone knew Trudope would get a second mandate. That is why he got the lead the CPC party, all the strong candidates are waiting in the wings. Western leaders will never get the top job, they are just dumb expendable peasants just like farmers. Next up Rona Ambrose, Peter Mckay, the mulroney kids, or some friggin astraunaut etc. If I were in Andrews shoes I would quit as well, todays social media crowd is going to ruin this country. end of rant.

"Global News is reporting that Scheer resigned over allegedly using campaign money to cover his children's private school education."

Love how all you Righties are avoiding the real reason Andrew resigned. Not to mention he was using your donations to put his children through private school!

It's all quite in the Righties camp that their own Self-Righteous Christian leader with his US citizenship was a big fraud!

This go around try to choose a good leader to represent the CPC. Mckay will definitely not get the job done!

[farmaholic]

......the Cons are in prep mode for the impending Fed election....plain and simple.

He was likely shown the door.

It's exactly what some of you were asking for.....

Love how all you Righties...

Um, 3rd and 15th reply in this thread.

4th reply in the other thread.

Have you been paying attention at all???

There's certainly a sentiment in these two threads that he wasn't "worshipped", and most definitely it's been discussed on here before that many thought he was weak. Where have you been?

I should resurrect my "shifty shithead" rant just for you.

[Horse]

The ball is now completely in Kenney and Moe's court. If they don't draw a line in the sand we're doomed.

If you are putting your hopes on them ,then we are DOOMED,

[fjlip]

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?

ONLY if a Christian, they all have hidden scary evil agendas!

So photo copy JT's actions, EXCEPT for not millionaire, not a CROOK, no shady BILLIONAIRE friends, NO skeletons in closet, please, had a JOB for 20 years, GREAT hair any color, SPEAKS French perfectly, oh ya worships at Greta's feet.

[SASKFARMER]

The party announced no wrong doing on the school thing do he just decided it was time.

I’ll put my support behind Micheal or Rona.

[dmlfarmer]

How long until Kenney puts his name in the ring. PM has always been his dream. Premier of Alberta is simply a prep job. Wexit is going to push him to believe he is the only one that can keep Alberta in Canada and that can't be done from the AB leg, it has to come from Ottawa.

[shortbox]

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

If you have nothing nice to say, shut the phuck up!!

The "springboard" idea is one ive definitely been inclined to adhere to as well. Politically he's still a youngish man, so the only way I see him going for it is if no one of substance enters the race...

In conversations he was having with reporter Don Braid about different issues he whole heartedly threw his support behind Rona Ambrose.

The timing for Kenney is off... at least this time around.
