O’Toole says Poilievre needs to moderate positions to compete with Carney
The former Conservative leader urged the party to 'ignore the culture war issues, ignore the floor crossings, and just focus on the long-term prosperity of Canadians.'

European #fascism drew heavily on the symbolism, techniques, and goals of the #USA's rightwing. #FintanOToole eloquently punctures the myth that fascism is a European concept misapplied to American politics.

#oToole is well past his peak, but this is is an important framing of #Trump and #MAGA.

"If we want to understand why democracy is in such trouble, the careers of Blair and Mandelson are exemplary: greed and cynicism feeding off each other." — Fintan O'Toole.

#OToole's article is marred by excessive praise for the massively-flawed #GordonBrown. But O'Toole is right about the sheer avarice of #TonyBlair and #PeterMandelson

#ChairmanHarper chooses his #Stooges well. Brent was no #Scheer, no #OToole and would never be a #Pierre.
“Brent Rathgeber is a Canadian lawyer and former Member of Parliament. He was elected as a Conservative in 2008 and 2011. On June 5, 2013, he resigned from the Conservative caucus to sit as an Independent in protest over the government's lack of support for transparency and accountability. He lives in Edmonton.”
@dbeggs13 Yes, I remember #OToole and the sudden appearance of overnight pecs on his person.

What's funny is they also tried re-introducing #ErinOToole a hundred times over as well, most certainly including the faux buff look. It didn't work. Crappy policy/obvious dishonesty isn't a good look, photoshop/man-girdles or not

Funnier still: PM #Trudeau rolls out of bed in the morning looking better than his opponents ever did on their very best day, not that it should matter in our political leaders. Executing good policy is the New Sexy

"The Canadian media needs to call out Mr. Poilievre over this absurdity. The entire “Chinese interference” reporting is an embarrassment; [note that some media] Toronto Star, CBC and others, didn’t swallow the bait."
But, so much of this story smacks of “Get Trudeau.”
