On Monday, February 8th, CPC National Campaign Manager Fred DeLorey sent an email asking the question, “Who is Erin O’Toole?”
Robert Alexander answers Mr. DeLorey’s question in today’s guest commentary.
Dear Fred,
Who is Erin O’Toole?
Someone I can’t see myself voting for, that’s who. That man is neither my idea of a leader nor of a modern Conservative.
I agree Derek Sloan was probably not a good fit for the party. I can see that. His departure COULD have been handled respectfully, or at least civilly, but it wasn’t. It was obviously not enough simply to part ways with a sitting MP, but for O’Toole to attempt to destroy him in the process.
Those actions are despicable, and simply serve to reinforce what I have heard about O’Toole’s behaviour in Parliament. He’ll stab you in the back if given half a chance.
Aside from the distasteful actions, where are the Conservative policies? Where is even the slightest passing concern for our rapidly eroding civil liberties? Where are the policies to restore liberties and rights?
Is this one of those brave policies? Making a video about how much I love Canada and poutine?
Seriously?
Are these the great win-back-our-country and liberty ideas coming out of the Conservative Party?
Seriously?
We’re doomed…
Why are Conservative MPs not pounding their desks in the House in outrage over the egregious violations of basic rights and due process for citizens returning to Canada?
Locked up in a COVID quarantine concentration camp, not permitted to talk to a lawyer, not permitted to contact family, family members separated from each other, taken to a secret location?
There is NO conceivable rational excuse for this, and it is outrageous to see this happening in Canada.
It must stop immediately and those making these Draconian decisions need, by election or recall, to be removed from office at the earliest opportunity.
Yes, I know Justin wants to be just like the dictators he openly admires, but I don’t want to live in that hell hole.
Why are the Conservatives not fighting for our BASIC LIBERTIES?
I certainly won’t vote for Justin, but I also can’t in good conscience see myself supporting O’Toole and his brand of semi-woke-leftism.
We need a fierce fearless leader with legendarily thick skin to start standing up for Canada and regular Canadians who simply want to live in harmony with their fellows, whoever they are, in a free Parliamentary democracy without the socialist bloat, not the totalitarian shitstorm Justin and pals have planned for us.
O’Toole is not that man.
God help us.

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”
— Benjamin Franklin
Mr Alexander doesn’t exactly inspire me either … Mr Sloan has the real ideas that Canada needs right now, otherwise we become just what Mr Soros and his cronies want, spineless serfs of the new world order (ie giving up our sovereignty to the UN) and no, Canada won’t be ‘first’. Let’s be frank, O’Toole and even Mr Harper are globalists, and let’s try to forget Mr (‘er what’s his name, ah, Scheer) who pathetically whipped the CPC caucus (on practically his first day as leader) to affirm The Turd’s commitment to the Paris Agreement (which in no way is in Canada’s best interests). Almost all of our politicians are bowing and remaining silent to that hidden governing body, the new world order (who have none of our true national interests at heart).
Our only hope is that God will grant the US military victory in their quest to deliver their country (and the entire world) back to ‘we the people’ and give us respite from what is essentially demonic takeover of our individual and national freedom and liberties.
Sound far fetched ? How else would you explain the tyrannical behaviours that our elected (and many non-elected) officials are presently exhibiting ?
It is difficult to do necessary mechanical work with defective ‘tooles.’
Spot on Robert. This present day Conservative Party does not represent my needs or beliefs and while I could never vote Lib, NDP or Green, O’Toole is placing me in a difficult vote position come next election. Even if Max’s PPC runs candidates I would likely be wasting my vote in my riding but it would send a message to O’Toole.
I voted for Leslyn Lewis and still believe she would have been a better leader.
We are already living under COMMUNIST DICTATOR TURDO LIBTARD DICTATES. Our NewsMedia only spins left. They push FEAR PORN on climate and COVID 19 CONSTANTLY and ENDLESSLY. covid internment camps, mask enforcement RCMP, Civilial disarmament via gun bans, and a trillion dollars, POOF gone and Erin Otoole Conservatives response = CRICKETS. They push back against liberal corruption by sucking up to lefty media that will NEVER like them. Otoole NEEDS to take a page from TRUMP if he wants to beat the LIBTARDS in the next election. So far, he is wishy washy like Andrew Scheer, Who I question , WAS HE WORKING FOR THE LIBERALS? The last federal election was lost to a pot smoking black face groper crook who boinked his own student back at point grey west. WTF does turdo have to do to lose an election? eat a charred but living human infant he roasted upon an open tire fire? would THAT end his political career? Would that be too much drama for Canadians, finally?
Although there are aspects of Mr. Alexander’s commentary that I accept and can somewhat agree with, I must state that to question the status quo without offering some substantial alternative is of less value than saying nothing. To trash the CPC and its elected leader and offer no solution does little except to perhaps cause other CPC members/supporters to consider moving away from the Party. Time to offer solutions: not just criticisms. It is clear to all that want to see that either get behind the Party and its leader that have a chance of defeating the current government or we’ll all get 4 more years of what we have seen for the last 5+ following the next election. Even Mr. Alexander doesn’t seem to want that.
I don’t agree with the comment about Derek Sloan. I think Sloan is the perfect embodiment of the type of true staunchly conservative leader that this country needs. I know I definitely will not vote Conservative again as long as The Tool is at the helm (or doing a poor job of trying to be), nor will I renew my CPC membership. Wasted vote or not, I’ll be voting PPC when the time comes. It’s just so hard to imagine that things are where they’re at, with a blatant criminal “leading” our country (I use the term loosely) and the majority of Canadians with their heads up their asses, seemingly oblivious to it all, and believing the lies that the mainstream media constantly spews. I think the middle/upper class are the worst, compacent in their comfortable lives and not ever being affected enough to care. I see it firsthand all the time from talking to them and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief as I hear comments such as “I don’t think Turdeau’s done too bad a job” or “What makes you say he’s a criminal”? I’m like “Where the f#@k have you been for the past several years???” Jeezus, things are frigging scary! And all this talk, and petitions, and comments… They all add up to nothing. If people don’t wake up soon and take back what’s theirs it’s going to be too late. It’s probably already too late… Those who are foolish enough to give up their arms just because the largest criminal organization in the country says they have to deserve what’s coming to them.
The reason the Liberals might rule forever; Conservatives can’t unite behind anyone.
Is O’Toole perfect? No. Is he close? No. Do I like everything he says or does? No.
Is O’Toole better than Trudeau? Yes. By a very, very long shot.
Is O’Toole better than Singh? Yes. By a long shot.
Is O’Toole better than Paul? Yes. By a long shot.
Is O’Toole better than Bernier? Yes….because Bernier split the party in the worst way possible, proving himself vindictive, vicious, and untrustworthy. And has NO chance of winning. He can only keep Trudeau in power.
You don’t get your own way all the time unless you resurrect the Divine Right of kings…….for yourself as king.
Democracy means voting for the best of the worst. And that is O’Toole and the Conservative Party.
If Trudeau gets another majority, there will not be enough of Canada left to stick back together in four years.
So, hold your nose tight if you must, but vote united, or let the country go to Hell. That is your choice, as I see it.
Robert Colpitts’ comment is spot-on!
Sending your vote any other direction simply is a waste.
Wake up Conservatives and unite – or all will be lost.
Smarten-up! Be part of a solution – do not contribute to the problem.
If you fail to vote – you only have yourself to blame for Canada’s problems due to its continuing idiotic dictator., which will surely be re-elected unless we all do our part.
If you need to make repairs and all you have is a defective “Toole” well, that may be better than nothing as long as you are very very careful.. Certainly Sloan would have made a much better leader, but alas, that was not to be. We don’t vote, or vote for someone else at great risk. As Robert states, allowing the ‘little one’ or Singh to become PM over another four years, would be the absolute end of Canada as we knew it.
I agree, most Canadians do not know what is going on in our country. I was sitting on a beach last summer and heard one person remark,” I like Trudeau, he gives me money. Nobody else gives me money. I replied she should get a job and someone would give her money every two weeks. Went right over her head.

one solution > when Mr. O’Toole starts ramping up the TV ads, he must have a variety of current and prospective MPs for the given electoral districts he is pitching at, beside him in those ads, and offering their own voice during the ads and a contact site for the TV viewers to consider for follow-up and election choices.
The Battle is shaping up… if Mr. O’Toole is an ex Military person as he rests his laurels upon, he should start thinking strategy and tactics and wit and prove himself.
Yes, ex military he is, apparently a navigator ! You might look at The Rebel’s latest blurb on him, how he has just removed MP Pierre Pollievre from his very effective post as finance critic. I won’t attempt to explain it here, Ezra Levant does it very pointedly and, I believe, effectively …
Mr O’Toole isn’t a future disaster, he’s a train wreck in real time, right now !
Yep, I want The Turd out of there also, but it would appear it’ll only happen due to self inflicted wounds, not because of CPC leadership savvy.
I suspect that O’Toole is a Liberal Plant.
