Social media starting to 'tear down' Canada's democracy, O'Toole warns in final Commons address
O'Toole, who will soon retire from politics, believes the country's best days are ahead -- if MPs avoid playing into divisive politics

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.
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 bet the main concern is splitting the conservative vote now that there's a far right party. They've had a convenient monopoly on the right while the left vote is split between Liberal and NDP which allows them to get in without the popular vote. The Conservatives are going to fight the PPC as hard as they fight voter reform.
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.
