I would like to see Rona Ambrose or Pierre Polivere as leader

When journalists start to think, it is no more journalism. Just report when the next leader is elected. What the party should avoid is none of their business.

[MrTortureandtorment]

They should have elected Maxime Bernier in the first place. We will see who the next leader is soon.

A weasel in a starched shirt could replace Andrew Scheer

[snippycutwell]

how about Relic from the Beachcombers?

[ryano]

Corruption plain and simple, he should be charged.

[drochon]

The bigger question is who will replace Trudeau ?

[tubedude]

since when did Johnny Galecki  become a CBC news anchorman?

[stuartspence]

Young guy gets a chance to be on national TV, gets asked a simple question. Gives a non-answer. Buddy, next time try to have a little more courage and personality.

I have some old gym socks. Similar personality to him

Wow .
Incumbent gets nannies on taxpayer dime? 
And not ok for Mr. Scheer to look after his children?
Sounds like 2 faces ... again....
No wonder Canadians are tuning out the rhetoric bubble
and "tuning back in"...

We can do better than all this.

Another follower of the Brian Mulroney lesson is Corrupción.

If they just stop behaving like the US Republican Party more people would probably give the cons a chance. Blackface will only hurt feelings but conservative arrogance is destructive.

AND THIS GUY WAS A STONE 'S THROWN AWAY FROM BEING THE PM OF CANADA! IMAGINE HIM WITH HIS FINGERS ON THE BUTTON. WE CANUCK DODGED A BULLET, EH?

[christinadadson]

I don't know ... but you should have kept MAX. We want an old man with some backbone.

Cbc should suggest Greta Thurnburg for con leadership

Toronto wont vote conservative until the archaic party has a method to help the tech industry. We've seen double digit increases in almost all tech specific sectors. We saw double digit losses while harper was in power. Hopefully they can find someone who helps western canada and someone who's focus isn't just the oil sands.
