Tory infighting could impact O'Toole's popularity – can Trudeau take advantage? | TREND LINE

Did you miss last week's Trend Line?

After Erin O'Toole's election as Tory leader, the party was in a statistical tie with the Liberals, but new polling shows that the Conservatives have lost significant support in the last few months.

Michael and Nik talk about what has happened, is Tory infighting starting to have an impact on the party's broader support?

The last month has seen former leader Andrew Scheer back in the headlines because of a hiring scandal and a high-profile MP taking a shot at Manitoba's conservative premier.

Michael and Nik also look into the sinking popularity of some of Canada's premiers - are they dragging down the national parties?

Bunch of clowns, both sides. Hard to believe we can't better candidates than what's presented other than tweedism at work.

Same thinly vieled message. "I have the answer". Not.

Hello citizens. My name is Erin O'Toole

O'Toole's idiotic insistence that impossible to predict vaccination logistics be explained is not doing anything for the healthcare professionals.

The conservatives will not get my vote. True conservatives are anti-lockdown and pro-life, Erin O’Toole is neither.

That thumbnail said it all, They are one in the same.

It makes me angry. Erin O’Tool AND Jagmeet Singh have been campaigning instead of trying to solve the issues at hand. Liberals aren’t perfect, and as a Manitoban I have to point out we have Conservative leadership. Pallister is at least cooperating with Ottawa, so it’s insulting to watch O’Tool undermine and stall any and all efforts to keep things steady. I don’t think O’Tool realizes if he personally gains popularity at the cost of party municipal and provincial level support... he won’t win the next election.
