Trudeau won’t be able to demonize Conservatives this time, says O’Toole

This week, John Ivison is joined by former Conservative leader, Erin O’Toole, to take a look at the return of Parliament on Monday.
O’Toole, who is now president of strategic intelligence firm ADIT North America, said he doesn’t see anything on the horizon that might change the nature of the political contest in Canada in the same way that Kamala Harris’ entry into the U.S. presidential race has turned it on its head.

"August 2020, Trudeau tapped Carney to serve as an "informal adviser" on the government's pandemic recovery plan. April 2021 marked Carney's official coming out as a card-carrying Liberal, delivering a keynote speech praising many of the party's policies, and ratcheting up the speculation he was considering getting his name on a ballot. Following the speech, Nanos Research chair Nik Nanos told CTV News Trend Line that Carney would add "a lot of credibility on the fiscal front to the Liberals," while also being "a significant target for the Conservatives." Carney earned his bachelor's in economics from Harvard University, before pursuing his master's and doctorate from Oxford University, also in economics.

Immigration to Canada should of been a benefit to local citizens but the opposite has occurred. While local citizens are living paycheck to paycheck most migrants coming to Canada receive a lot more benefits then local citizens. Migrants coming to Canada have their own community members to join to assist them and the government is supporting those same communities in order to promote immigration. Unfortunately I don't know of local citizens having a community group to join to help in every day living.

I disagree that Trudeau handled the interaction with the steel worker well. He acted like a used car salesman. When someone is upset with you, it’s not a good idea to start sticking your finger in their face and coming back defensively. He needed to stop talking and start listening. And that’s one of Trudeau’s biggest problems. He always thinks he’s right and not only refuses to listen, he threatens censorship and wants dissenting voices quieted altogether. He has no idea how nervous Canadians are about this one issue, of freedom of speech, thought and opinion. As a leader, he has failed miserably in this regard. And when Canadians rightly raised the alarm about the mismanagement of immigration he called us racist. How selfish we were to try and protect our schools, healthcare, housing etc. Average Canadians understood very well that you cannot fast track an influx of millions of people without first upgrading the infrastructure required to accommodate such a population increase. Anxiety really ramped up when Canadians realized that students arriving on a visa from other countries were not vetted to verify their identity, and educational claims. So many ‘students’ never reported to campuses at all while others showed up for short periods of time and went one of two ways. One group got a job, dropped out of school and applied for permanent residency (This group was not the ones we should have worried about however, other than the fact they used a back door to gain access to the country, bypassing others who’d been waiting their turn). The larger group we all should be alarmed and angry about is the one made up of hoodlums who had no intention of ever going to school in Canada. They either joined up with friends already in the country or created their own little criminal empires. I mean what else do you think a young uneducated man is going to do to survive as an illegal in Canada? Live off the proceeds of crime, obviously. Mainly the drug and gun trade. Others are sophisticated thiefs, scammers, and blackmailers who are hard to detect, investigate and prosecute because they are literally nameless and faceless and the police have no idea how to track down these thugs. Where do you start with people who use aliases, don’t file taxes and the only people who could rat them out are their criminal buddies who also don’t legally exist. These are things Trudeau simply does not get. When people say he’s ruined the country, Justin has never bothered to ask why they think so. Poilievre’s conservatives will need a very long term in office to start to clean up the mess they’ll inherit from Trudeau’s liberals.
