Its easy to see why O'Toole lost.

[dandufour]

Kudos to him for supporting poilievre and the conservative party and not throwing Pierre under the bus. I was expecting worse.

[matti]

I’m glad he’s gone. He totalled pulled a bait and switch. Just listening to how out of touch he is with conservative values.

[GordBrown-uihu]

Thanks for your service. As usual, you're doing the right thing.

[SAL-seki]

Unfortunately he is too liberal and his message to Poilievre is too liberal

[duanesbuhler]

Clicked on video, then realized I don’t care what O’Tool thinks.

[petermachacek]

Calling this guy a conservative is like calling me Japanese!

[flyhigh]

Amazing he said
"As a former leader of the party
I think it's important to step back to let the new leader do his job without interference"

Yet Andrew sits next to Pierre
"day after day"

Is he saying Andrew is in the way and should leave as well

Interesting point he was attempting to make

I'll miss Erin O'Toole. He's proved to be a great statesman, and I have zero doubt we'd be in a better economic position had he won the 2021 federal election (Not to mention we'd be making better moves against the Beijing regime). I was very proud to have supported him and the platform he and his team put forward in that campaign. Hope he enjoys his retirement from politics and gets to spend more time with his family and friends! Bonne Chance!

Why is a proven failed party leader asked for advice?

[mikefoehr]

O Toole is better than Jagmeat...but just barely

[AndrewM]

O'toole is the absolute definition of weakness. Im so glad he's out and he got replaced by someone with a spine.

[jimidcanada]

Don't use polls to politic.
Lead don't follow.

[MagicMeowmix]

The closest I ever got to voting conservative. He'll be missed

[brandonliberty]

Well you shouldn’t of flip flop! See ya!

[TurningoffyourGaslights]

Flip-flop O'Tool, the Liberal 5th columnist

[maritimer]

Well, Canadians rejected him so it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks now ! Dose it?

[primmakinsofis]

Erin "The Toothless Tool" O'Toole.

[TroyYoung-jtgg]

Both parties are disappointing CCJ administration sucks

[vacantstairs]

Pollievre pandering to conspiracy theorists.. oops I mean "addressing concerns"
