Trump humper about to be Conservative leader in Canada?

I see you have Australia in your location. Read up on Khadija Gbla. She came to Australia 15 years ago with her family when she was approx 10 years old as a refugee due to a civil war in her homeland. She was a victim of FGM when she was 9 years old in Sierra Leone because apparently it's just done without much thought there due to a lack of education and thinking that it's the "right thing to do".

She is now an award-winning human rights campaigner who has set up her own charity called NO FGM Australia to help educate women and girls here. I for one am thrilled she was granted entry and is now an Australian citizen in my Country and applaud her for her courage and determination.

If you had your way she wouldn't be here to begin with. I could never support that.

That's a fair point, and good for her. The question boils down to whether we're willing to lose the good ones to keep out the bad ones. For as much good as she's doing, is it worth having her if it means also allowing future subversives and terrorists in.
 


I think Trudeau is worried about her. He cited her most recently in his town hall tour. He used her as an excuse for breaking his promise.


"Speaking at a town hall event in Yellowknife, the prime minister says he turned his back on the promise — his words — because he feared proceeding would foster political discord and instability.

Trudeau appeared to be expanding on remarks he made Thursday when he cited Tory leadership candidate Kellie Leitch as an example of someone who ought not be given too much sway in Parliament.
Leitch, an Ontario MP, has proposed screening would-be immigrants and refugees for “anti-Canadian values,” an idea that has been compared to those championed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“It is because I felt it was not in the best interests of our country and of our future that I turned my back on that promise,” Trudeau said Friday when asked by a person in the crowd about why he abandoned the plan."

“I know people will be disappointed, yep,” he continued as boos echoed from the crowd."

Conservatives should consider it a victory if first-past-the-post is kept.


I'm not for electoral reforms.

Kelly Leitch's response to Trudeau was bang-on. Two-thirds of Canadians support screening for Canadian values -


Two-thirds of Canadians want prospective immigrants to be screened for “anti-Canadian” values, a new poll reveals, lending to idea stirring controversy in political circles.

It's not Leitch who's "fringe." It's Trudeau and his elitist friends.

That's total bull****.

He abandoned ER because:

A: He was never really serious about it in the first place; he used it to steal Green and NDP/progressive votes.

B: He did the political calculus and realized (or believed) electoral form wouldn't serve the political fortunes of the Liberals (though I think if it were purely this, runoff voting would have been the way to go; that way he gets to deliver on a promise and secure a system that's advantageous to his party).

C: His big donors didn't support it (and he met with plenty in the run up to the announcement).

And for no other reason. There was consensus at every level, and the only way he conceivably could make the argument that there wasn't (not that this by itself is sufficient cause) is if he took the results of his absurd, and deliberately skewed MyDemocracy.ca survey as gospel (which he apparently did).


Just a heads up- The TO Star is commonly referred to as the Red Star due to its far left leanings. Not always but more than enough far left attitudes.
At times, would make Bernie S look like a Conservative

Totally inaccurate.

Toronto Star is by Canadian standards left of centre... which is still well to the right of Bernie (who is more left than everyone in Canadian politics barring some fringe parties and the Greens; that may change with new NDP leadership though).
