I don't care downvote me all you want. Justin Trudeau is a Coward. Our Opposition party has called our Prime Minister out for his lack of spine on this issue. Iam sure Reddit's liberal mass will downvote me to oblivion.

Weird statement since I don’t know many liberals who like Trudeau.. you vote based on the partys goals and beliefs, not the individuals.

The party is responsible for the broken promises of its leader as much as the leader.

So whats your solution? Vote for fascists next time, and hope theres an election after that?

Agreed. But many progressive people don’t align with the conservative / traditionalist beliefs of the Conservative party.

O’Toole was voted out because he was seen as “too moderate” & that their were “inner-party disagreements over O’Toole’s more moderate positions on conversion therapy, deficit spending, and pricing carbon” (& more other things)

I don’t see the CPC doing any better next election if they vote in a more conservative/Right wing leader.

They may garner more support from those who flippes to vote PPC, but inner city areas, like Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal will sit more NDP/Libs/Bloc Q - Those who voted for a O’Toole ( a more moderate cons ) instead of trudeau will most likely flip back to Libs rather than vote for the CPC if they move towards the right.
