Please give us an alternative to all 3 main parties that the media will give coverage to. That will be allowed in debates. Is this our man?
Much respect sir! 👍🇨🇦

[blackghost]

Wow, a politician with integrity, mad max the albertan from quebec gets my vote

[quebecflat]

Found your own party Maxime ! We'll vote for you !

[quickdrawmcgraw]

Go get em Max. Real Canadians are right behind you. Scheer is nothing more than another Trudeau.

[concernedparent]

It's about time a politician calls out this ridiculous multiculturalism/diversity garbage. Canadians were never asked if they wanted to be replaced by the third world. Enough is Enough.

Our Conservative party doesn’t fight liberalism enough. They are pretty much liberal lite

[LucVNO]

Dont get cocky CTV, those upvotes are for Bernie the Boss. Not you.

[rogerbontemps]

Stop saying this will help Trudeau. It is true it will... But who cares considering Scheer = Trudeau... The conservative party must kick Scheer out or diseappear

[angienatoyn]

Max should name his party the RC party. Real Conservative party.

[LucVNO]

Diversity is our rulers strength. Divide and conquer. Unity is our strength.

[concernedparent]

This is a god send. Bernier has my vote and everyone I can convince as well.

[truthshare]

WOW! A politician who makes sense. I'm in note CTV, you cannot fool the majority of Canadians!

[kathymacdonald]

The Conservatives picked the wrong guy with Andrew Scheer. Sadly he either doesn't know that Canadians are suffering or else he doesn't care about the well being of the Majority of Canadians. I hope Bernier runs as an independent or libertarian.

[newfieman]

Good the conservative party is weak and unable to hand the fight ahead. You got my vote Max! All the best!

[jessiplourde]

I’m metis and I say there is nothing racist or intolerant about asking where this diversity cult is going and what they’re limits are. Can’t everyone see how fast our demographic is changing?

[jcBirds]

"you can't kick me out, I quit!"

[kipwilliam]

Most will support Max, I hope every true Conservatives leaves the party because Scheer has no hope in hell winning over voters. Nobody will vote a clown with a creepy grin & Scheer is far from being a true conservative. Canada needs a strong leader that has proven leadership skills, someone like Max that would be globally respected.

[steveaustin]

He's right. Sadly Scheer was a poor choice as he's just to vanilla. A politician not a leader.

[donnamarshall]

Sorry you quit. You were the only one telling the truth and not candy coating our ongoing crisis.

[goiroluo]

Too good to be true! After so many dark years, Canadian find the leader!
