an interesting article by Evan scrimshaw. who was introduced to me by a friend who reads him faithfully. However, when mr scrimshaw described Scott Brisson from the Annapolis valley in Novascotia...as his idea of a moderate...you lost me. I thought he was nothing more than a self serving politician who realized the Conservatives were homophobic and thus his political career was nowhere with them...possibly even losing his nomination. But he seemed to support Conservative Harper type economic policy. Plus when he was a federal Liberal minister...of supply and services or some other minor post....he privatised many public facilities, including the Sinclair Centre in Vancouver, something the Trudeau and Sinclair families opposed..along with anyone with common sense. The federal government spent a lot of money restoring the Sinclair Centre.....I used to work there...even internal stairways were gorgeously restored, Now its privately owned..likely worth a bundle for resale or use as collateral, and none of that goes to the taxpayers who footed the initial bill and Im sure still had to pay for the restoration costs over and above any sale price.. Selling it lost revenue and a beautiful public building. . that doesnt make him moderate in my view...but kind of stupid. Privatisation rarely does anything except reduce public services quality and hand taxpayer money to the private sector. . look at the UK versus public services on the european continent
As to Mulcair being moderate...well he came across as moderate as he knew an awful lot from his
years in politics.but on the environment and many social issues..he fit well into social democratic politics.He as much as Layton helped create a viable ndp in Quebec..and what did his own party do...
dumped their first leader from Quebec who was a quebecois. and picked mr shallow or short of
any policy jagmeet Singh, who also showed up at Sikh banquets with giant posters of air India types...when he was deputy premier of Ontario no less. what a fool. He wanted an independent Khalistan. The nationalist Sikh party in the Punjab fight for more autonomy for the Punjab state..as they know that anything threatening separation for the Punjab would lead to a bloodbath in India. Not nice but thats what would likely happen. thanks for that wise position mr Singh. Not.
Here for the Aitchison reference! The guy's CPC leadership race announcement video was him getting out of a pick-up truck and saying something generic like "let's go". Great candidate for Moderates Devoid of Substance. He's got the most important shadow cabinet post at the moment and all he can manage is the occasional retweet of Pollievre's housing points and random refrains about NIMBYs... but you're right of course he wouldn't call out Doug Ford because it's not politically expedient and that would actually require him to take a concrete policy stance.
Erin O’Toole ? Any vague & uneasy ‘respect I had for him was only due to his Military Service..
Watching him Suck Ass 4 Poilievre & By Proxy - thereby Stephen Harper’s + Ray Novak’s & Jenni Byrne’s too .. with his rabid & mealy mouth Contradiction of David Johnston’s chrisp & clear recollection of their Meeting. This only because Pierre Poilievre & Andrew Scheer sought better Profit by Weaponizing the initial Inquiry Stage.. so by that point O’Toole - akin to Chong - showed what empty sacks of shit they actually are.. mere ‘shadows.. emptymen .. in comparison to BROKEN t-shirt man Pierre Poilievre .. an Apex Malignant Narcissist if I ever saw one - & so help me will swear on a stack of the DSM - 5 Mood Disorder Differential Diagnostic Algorithm ! !
I think the term moderate is overrated. O’Toole may be considered by some as a moderate, he is first and foremost dishonest, weak and a superficial thinker. And when it comes to the CPC of today, anybody with a hint of moderation is suspect and will not go very far.
It is indeed stunning how a self serving testimony at the inquiry is regarded as statesman like. Whether you work for one of the national newspapers or make your money here on substack, there is money to be made by portraying former failed leaders as victims and the current government as colluding with foreign entities.
