It was a shame to see Brock leave, he was one of the few politicians in Canada with a head on his shoulders. Called it as he seen it and didn’t hold back when he did.
Ish. I raised a pile of money for him but he left us in a jam by not announcing earlier. He owes his job to Phil. I actually laugh when they refer to Larry Brock and the former MP endorsed Dave Carrol. It should say Phil McColeman and the current MP. He also dragged his feet on the endorsement and did it kicking and screaming.
I will never understand parties who over-ride riding association nominations. All politics is local, a point national executives and party leaders would do well to remember.
With Dominion Voting Machines software that can be tampered with, and foreign interference from China, the EU, and the U.S Democrats all in favour of the Liberal party - the Conservatives will never ever win another election in Canada until these issues are dealt with. We are already a one party state.
Eventually carney will be understood as a deceiver. But the propaganda from MSM is formidable. I’m not sure how it can be overcome. I’m saddened by the description of the nomination process in Brant. As Canada is ground down by the Carney regime, it could be that self inflicted wounds by the conservatives won’t help.
I have massive respect for Mr Brock. I did attend a “jail not bail” rally in Pickering last year (?) and I was taken aback by the strident nature of Mr Brock’s address and the group chanting as part of it.
Dig in and survive. My advice. Must suck to live in Toronto. Poor Mr Lilley
We did not see much campaigning by Pierre in the recent three byelections and the results speak to that. I sure hope Pierre is on the hustings of the upcoming byelections.
It doesn't matter what happens with the byelection; PM Carney is safely ensconced as leader for as long as he would like. Mr Poilievre isn't likeable enough to get elected. Canadian have been frightened by President Trump, and enough of us now believe that we have to have Mark Carney as our leader to save Canada (for the record, I'm not among this group).
One would think that Polievre would have learned a lesson from the last general election in appointing candidates instead of following a proper nomination process. Personally I think he needs to step down as Leader of the opposition as he’s just not capturing the imagination of the voting public. I’ve supported him for a long time but he’s not cutting it anymore.
So unless Carney calls the by-elections today, the news posited by Ryan because he has an inside track with some Liberal MPs that I saw reposted all over the place would appear to be false. That Carney was going to call the by-elections this week. Those MPs may actually have believed but it is not byeond the realm of possibility that they were fed that to feed to Ryan so Pierre would make the mistake of naming a candidate in Brant instead of having a nomination contest because of the urgency(which is horseshit of course but I digress). The byelections could be as late as January 25th-even later if the campaign is longer than 35 days. Poor Kevin may have to trudge around the riding for 4 months.
Given Carney's current popularity, I expect the LPC to take four of the byelections. I'd still like to know why Larry Brock resigned to take a lower paid less influential job.
The pay is more. From there you can conclude why he left. I will leave it at that. But look at some of the issues he has had in the past and you might be able to figure it out.

If any of them really believed in democracy, they would outlaw parachuting candidates over the local EDA's head.
I couldn't agree more.

Don’t forget Pete Hoekstra and his Centurion Project. The Americans want to interfere in our elections as well.
According to Elections Canada, they do not use Dominion voting machines or any other type of voting machine. This is an American election issue.
You don’t think it’s an issue for the Albertans that had their data compromised?
Prove that please?

When Mr. Brock addresses a crowd, he commands the attention of all.

Only way Brant stayed blue is if it was Dave vs Joy. Not Pierre vs Mark.

We had a slim chance to keep the riding if Pierre would have kept his nose out of it. You can only control what you can control.
Great post.
Nor am I.
But your conclusions are stellar.

I was one of his biggest supporters until he poked his nose in our riding(Brant). No more.
Good coverage of the Brantford riding, Brian.
I will not read or hear anything approaching this take in any other media.
If the Conservatives lose Brantford, Mr. Poilievre should retire, or at least resign the leadership.
Sharpen the knives and hoist the skull and cross bones; there’s danger in these here waters.
Not if. It's over.

lol. And Eby calls an election.

A run for the leadership?
As Hunter S. Thompson once slurred “There’s buzzards circling above us.”

Rumour had it that Ryan was one of the guys Pierre was trying to parachute in. Kevin was definitely not the first choice.
Did you get my tag on X
Yep. I am actually holding my powder about all the shit that went down.
hmmm
