A surprisingly adept point from a conservative of all people. Blind squirrels, broken clocks, etc.
Then again, maybe he was speaking just generally enough to evoke the audience sentiment biased by their own leanings and preconceived notions. I read it as, “social media is enabling the far right whackjobs to coordinate and pull stunts like blockades that cost the country’s economy literally billions in a matter of weeks”, but looking at the predictably shitshow of a comment section, those same whackjobs are using it as a yet another opportunity to decry ThAt TroODoPe hAs To gO.
I’m certainly not Trudeau’s biggest fan, but I’ll take it over the unrecognizable hellscape the PC’s would turn our country into.

Good goooood, let the split crumble the PC’s from the inside
If only the conservative split in Alberta lasted. Lets hope the feds never find a way to unite.
the PC’s would turn our country into.
There no P anymore, and that’s pretty much the problem.
More accurate to call them RC.
It’s just the rebranded reform party, the PCs died with the party.
everyone is not a fan of Trudeau but somehow he always win.
I’m not a “fan” of any politician, but Trudeau seems a lot more competent ( and generally willing to find some sort of middle-ground) than anyone the conservatives have put forward recently.
I hope he is a little competent after 10 years in power.
What does that say about people who have been MPs for most of their adult life (like PP and Scheer), but still can’t manage to find their way to the “big chair”?
I can almost bring myself feel sorry for o’ Toole, if only I could force myself to forget the he tried to have a go at the populism trick as well.
Canada Proud entered the chat.
It would be nice if we could all come together and decide not to vote for toxic politicians who only attack the others and don’t come forward with ideas and willingness to work together.
As Canadians we used to be able to set aside our differences to come to a common goal for everyone’s prosperity, but I just don’t see that anymore. US Political Toxicity has leaked too far into Canada. Let’s remember what it means to be Canadian, and let’s work with each other, listen to each other, and respect each other.
We are all Canadians, let’s all work together and we can accomplish so much more. Let’s help lift each other up.
I don’t like O’Toole, but this is the kind of opinion that the CPC ousted him over. He was too reasonable and moderate for them, and sometimes he says something that shows that.
And this is one of those times where I can reach across the aisle and say “you know what, man? You’re right. That’s fucked.”
Probably goes without saying but hoo boy that comment section is spicy
Never scroll past the end of an article on mainstream media 😬
It’s basically just angry dads who can’t figure out how to use social media, and Karen’s. Like who actually creates a comment account on a newspaper page, how very 2003 of you, Uncle Dennis.

Bots. Bots is who.
I hadn’t paid attention to the comment section prior to reading your reply. I feel like I would have been better off not knowing what’s written in there.
I will learn from your experience and stay away from it.
Every time I make this mistake I have to repeat to myself that this is not representative of a significant number of my neighbors until I believe it. It’s probably a lie.
That seems to be the normal state of commentary on any mainstream media post.
I saw a ton of climate change deniers / conspiracy nutbags on a Global news video talking about the wildfires.
I saw from this link that NP had a story on that too. It was basically “did leftist eco-terrorists set the fires? No, but Maxime Bernier tweeted that it’s totally something they would do”.
conservative would win if they stopped hanging out with flat earther,anti vax and incels .
