Two questions arise in light of Patrick Brown’s dramatic resignation after still unproven allegations of sexual misconduct made against him:
Who will be the new leader and how will he or she be selected? And, will the PCs continue drifting left of centre, ignoring grassroots members as was the case under Brown?
Thousands of social, fiscal and democratic conservatives have abandoned the party, and can you blame them?
It began with his support for a Trudeau-style carbon tax despite campaigning against one, and then he flip-flopped on the Liberals’ sex-ed curriculum.
Then came allegations of fraud and ballot box stuffing at nomination meetings to ensure PC Party insiders and friends won, as opposed to candidates favoured by the grassroots.
Perhaps driven by fear and paranoia, the PCs have conducted legalistic vendettas against members who rock the boat or ask uncomfortable questions, like the witch-hunt against Jim Karahalios, who headed the “Axe the Carbon Tax” and “Take Back Our PC Party" campaigns.
Hope abounds when it comes to regime change, but will the status quo change? If not, talk about a missed opportunity.
Over 15 years, the governing Liberals led by a very unpopular premier, have excelled at scandals and multi-billion dollar boondoggles.
The PCs should be offering a viable alternative to the electorate – not marketing themselves as “Liberal-Lite.”
Clear the lot of them out and start over.
So is my dog!
I kinda like Johnny Horton… I like what his songs represent and I detest what Canadians have de-evolved into from our ancestors who were pioneers and settlers who carved a nation, a great nation from the wilderness. Let’s not make it easy for them who would give it away at our expense.!!!
Yes Flat Earth…It’s the spirit of the words and truth that must be heard and repeated if necessary…
Thanks for understanding the repeated posts….

Guess what..?? I don’t give a sh!t anymore!!
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two-three, with a-one-two-three)
We looked down a river
(Hut-two)
And we see’d the British come
(Three-four)
And there must have been a hundred of’em
(Hut-two)
Beatin’ on the drums
(Three-four)
They stepped so high
(Hut-two)
And they made their bugles ring
(Three-four)
We stood by our cotton bales
(Hut-two)
And didn’t say a thing
(Two-three-four)
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take ‘em by surprise
(One-hut, two-three-four)
If we didn’t fire our muskets
(One-hut, two-three-four)
‘Till we looked ’em in the eye
(One-hut, two-three-four)
We held our fire
(Hut, two-three-four)
’Till we see’d their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave ’em – well we
Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(One-hup-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(Hup-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where the rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ’em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
We fired our cannon ’til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briars
(Hup-one-two)
And they ran through the brambles
(One-two-three-four)
And they ran through the bushes
(Hup-two)
Where the rabbit couldn’t go
(Hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast
(Hup-two)
That the hounds couldn’t catch ’em
(One-two-three-four)
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Sound off, three-four
Hut-two-three-four
Hut-two-three-four.
First thing they can do is dump the Progressive moniker and become a true Conservative party.
Paul Mccullough said: “conservatives need to spend the $10 to join the party for a year & get their vote for leader in”
Unfortunately, Liberals and NDP have a history of unethical behavior insofar as encouraging their supporters to join opposing parties to rig leadership votes"
One suspects this is what happened at the Federal level……………
I’m glad to hear Brown has stepped down. Not because of the allegations but because the Ontario PC’s need a leader that connects with the right of center PC’s. Brown was a Liberal in every sense of the word. I would not have wasted my time voting for him.
Scheer either needs to step down or grow a pair if he’s going to defeat The Clown Prince. He’s too much like a Lieberal for my liking. With all the sh_t Trudeau has done and been caught at this is his time to grab Trudeau by the throat and let him know his days are numbered. No more Mr. Nice Guy, take Trudeau out any way you can.
Paul Taylor…I’m with you on this one Brother..

There are two kinds of Liberals, the misguided buffoons who vote for them and the degenerates who stand for election. The latter are either complete idiots or Traitors to their Country, the wannabe slime, just like the imbecile who thinks that he is a leader but is in fact a Mother F…..g Idiot. If or when he dies, I will make a special trip to his Grave and spit on it.
Keith Barnes…Yep….
