Erin O'Toole claims he has support to remain Conservative leader as caucus meets

After being defeated in the polls, questions linger over whether Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole will stay put as his caucus meets for the first time since the federal election. O'Toole is adamant he has enough support to remain at the helm.

"This is not about a Sword of Damocles hanging over my head — we're united as a team," said O'Toole regarding questions on his leadership.

"This is about having a fair and transparent process that a team must have when it respects one another."

But as Mike Le Couteur reports, O'Toole's fellow party MPs are either staying mum or demanding answers.

No. Replace him with a conservative. Two Trudeaus is three too many.

[caijack]

the party lost and their leaders must go. everyone knows that except for Mr.O'Toole.

He sounds like Trudeau, more and more every day! They both have to go, we need leadership, not career politicians.

Not choosing to be divisive earned O'Toole my respect. It shows character and integrity and focus on National Unity in crazy times we are in. He knew it will cost him politically but stuck to it. This alone is enough for me. Dividing Canadian is the most destructive thing ever. Nothing is comparable. No other issue has the same importance. When a leader decides that his way to win is by dividing his nation by pitting me against my neighbor that is it for me.

So he has confidence in staying put...like a huge beer fart at a wedding banquet. Stickin' around no matter what.

Remember the words fair and transparent lol

Thank you, anti vaxxers. For making the choice clear for Canadians to vote ABC in the last election. There are dozens of reasons (smear campaigns) Cons gave us not to vote Lib. But a multitude of reasons(covid dawdling and dithering) for NOT to vote Con.

I wish would have said something about Kenney but he reminds me of the military good Ole boys club.

JWR is available.
Desperate times for Cons party.

I think he can do the job. He need more confidence. He have to developed a thick skin to conquered the negatively. Let's pray and asked God to give him the strength so He can overpowered Justin Trudeau. He need time to find his path. God took seven days and seven nights to build his world. All power goes to Erin O'Toole. God bless and guide you mister O'Toole, you can do it!!!

Ponzi in-y group leader... we still respect you...

In the words of my friend from New Brunsick:
"O toole is my dream minister. He isnt Trudeau"
