What was ever won on defense? Andrew Scheer is going to lose to Justin Trudeau in October.

Conservatives risk a lot with defensive strategy

By Spencer Fernando, The Post Millennial, August, 2nd, 2019:

Andrew Scheer has released an open letter to Canada’s premiers, making clear that he will maintain and even increase the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer.

Scheer’s letter, like his recently released climate plan, is clearly a defensive move designed to insulate him from expected Liberal attacks.

Similarly, Scheer’s immigration speech was a defensive move, designed to protect him from accusations (totally unfounded) of racism or ‘pandering’ to prejudice.

At one level Scheer’s moves are understandable.

With much of the establishment media elites on the side of the Liberals, the Conservatives are seeking to protect their vulnerable flank on certain issues.

However, a look at the poll numbers seems to show that it’s not working.

Since releasing their climate plan, the Conservatives have watched much of their lead evaporate. And if they thought they would get credit from the Liberals for their “no cuts”  promise, that was quickly thrown out the window when Finance Minister Bill Morneau basically accused Scheer of lying:

Scheer is a nice guy but he’s not a strong leader. Canadians need a Conservative leader like Harper who strongly defends Israel and opposes Islam. However Scheer would still be better than Trudeau (Canada’s Obama).

I believe some conservatives are voting for Maxime Bernier of the PPC, which is an anti-Islam, anti-immigration party but it’s very small and has no chance of winning. Dividing the vote only guarantees Trudeau another term.

No one thought Trump would win. Scheer will not win because he is not principled and he has not got backbone. The conservatives need to shift to Bernier who is both principled and has backbone AND is the party with the truly conservative principles. With Scheer, we will not get much different than Trudeau!!! That is why I no longer am supporting the CPC.

Why does every world leader have to do the bidding of Israel and the Likud party?

Scheer’s election as party leader proves the Liberals have taken over the conservatives from within the party. Since when has a quality of leadership been to support a Prime minister who creates divisiveness with Canada’s trade partners?
Scheer lost when he declare he would supports Trudeau in Trudeau’s battle with Trump.
Scheer has not even objected to Trudeau allowing non-citizens to vote in the coming election – proof of citixenship is not required as of June 13th in Canada.

Scheer is such a disappointment. He would have had my vote if he hadn’t back tracked on immigration.

Here we go again with spineless conservatives. Afraid of being labeled waycist and successfool. You should come out WHACKING.

Berating that phag and waycist Truedodo. Show the people his SINS!! His betrayal, his HATRED of your country and white people, also the boy’s mommy problems. Don’t be afraid.

And even if you lose the people will keep this in mind and that’s even a greater damage to the little boy. When your country fails they’ll remember what you said.

Need help? Call 1-800 UCK TRUEDODO.

Scheer certainly looks like a spineless snowflake. Perhaps,the Canadians need another 5 years of Iman Trudeau? By that time, Canada will be a ruin and perhaps someone will rise up and take the country back.

What Conservative Climate Plan? I pay attention and noticed the occasional use of the word “climate” from time to time from Scheer, but where is the Plan?

Why is he not prominent in news articles every single day? Where the hell is Scheer? I am currently a Member, but he and his handlers are really starting to piss me off. This election is Scheer’s to lose.

Scheer had damn well better start attacking, start insulting, start getting under Trudeau’s thin skin or he will be a major reason for the destruction of Canada. Nobody gives a damn that he grew up in a certain house and had a happy childhood, we want to know how the Conservatives are going to try to salvage Canada and repair the damage caused by Trudeau.

If he’s trying to win the liberal vote then why is he running as a conservative? What a dumb strategy!
