O- the tool . is going to remove Sloan from caucus. Is it justified?
If you have the right to vote you have the right to donate lol.
Just my opinion .
It is what it is

From what I see, not for the reason given anyway.
The Party accepted an individual as a card carrying voting member after he was vetted, and he did vote in the leadership race last year. Supposedly, he voted for Duncan as his leadership choice, but that I hear only second-hand. Sloan accepted a donation from that member back in August of last year, of which 10% of the total was gladly accepted by The Party for their own federal coffers.
It is well known there has been a falling out between The Party and Sloan for well over a year, so if they want to boot him they will. This however cannot be justified as the right reason to remove him, IMHO.
John
I agree with that synopsis. I guess they are trying to remove the rot, before it spreads and costs them at the poles.
Off topic. We were talking about Sloan. Why no comment on the subject at hand? Somehow , some way, it must always be turned around to critique the libs.
O'toole will be better than PM Justlied silly socks but duh'Toole is just letting the media lead him around like a dumb puppy again. Say and do what will make them happy, he knows he can't beat them without alot of effort and the media.. well I wouldn't be surprised if they had other real conservatives they want to remove too.
In the Liberal camp, interfere with the A.G. and RCMP... just resign for a month and get hired back (Butts),
huge ethical scandal, just resign and we will find you a job in the UN (Morneau)
get caught and found guilty 5 times (also blocking other investigations) and you can still not answer questions and show of silly socks. (Justlied Trudeau)...
I wonder how many ANTIFA, Communists, convicted terrorists, ISIL members etc. contributed to the Liberal's ... oh wait, the media doesn't want to talk about that. Alghabra has made pro terrorist (anti-Semitic groups) statements etc and they have him as an MP. The Conservatives are held to a different standard by far, the Liberals seem to be expected to be corrupt and have people under criminal investigation run with no issues!
O'Toole is sending a member to the furnace as a message to everyone else in caucus. Racism in any form won't be tolerated.........period. That,my friends,is called l-e-a-d-e-r-s-h-i-p.
Justin doesn't want to talk about the money he received from the illegal casino group .
Maybe since they have been found to corrupt they can give back that money to our debt.
Or nothing about We scam why is it no other volunteers were paid before Justin Trudeau was running for pm.
It's a volunteer for a charity not a business
They should be giving money to the charity not taking hundreds of thousands dollars from it.

Yup another hijacked thread , not staying on topic. It was a simple question. Every single thread somehow gets turned into the same old , same old. Some replies don't even mention the original question.
This is a Sloan/ O'Toole thread, keep it on topic please. Deflections are for hockey, not this thread.
John
When you want to highlight the lows of the cons, expect the same in return for your federal heros.
Curious why you didn't post the same type of thread about the removal of JWR, Butts and Morneau when those events took place?
I take it accepting a 160.00 donation of 1.3 million from 1300 donations is much worse than a billion dollar sponsorship scandal or interfering in a criminal case?
Then start your own thread. Don't change the focus on, every. single. one.
Yes I think Sloan should be kicked out. You quite often see Conservatives kicking out bad blood, but not the Liberals, if Trudeau was to do the same he would have to kick himserlf out. There is no debate about that. Trudeau is a criminal that is a fact.
So for me ERIN is trying to deflect from his own misstep and his speech at Ryerson where he managed to upset the vast majority of Canadians with his remark about residential schools being set up to "educate" the aboriginal population.
Clearly Mr O'Toole is way out of step with what Canadians want to hear from a potential Prime Minister. Mucking up mud to score a few political points work's well with the BASE but not the population. If he had any political savvy he would know there has been lots of press and documentaries about the residential schools terrible abuse of the first nations people.
Mr Sloan is just another terrible example of bad judgement by the voters in my cottage area who were supportive of Trump and decided to take a sip of his cool aid.
Sloan is a homophobe, a bigot and a general all-around creep. O'Toole wants to present a credible alternative to the current government and expand his support into those areas necessary to win an election so getting rid of Sloan and is the right decision. Accepting a donation from a neo-Nazi is as good excuse as any to dump Sloan.
Yep, and pointing out the fact Duh,Toole is being ridiculous and comparing it to real corruption and unethical behaviour in other parties seems unpopular in the usual accomplices. O'Toole is just being led around and for the media to spend the effort they are in this it seems dedicated to attack Conservatives and trying to silence people they can. The hypocrisy is off the scale!
Fishermccann, what does Indian education and Donald Trump have to do with Sloan?
Or is it acceptable to change the focus from the radical left and unacceptable from the right?
Don't see you complaining about trolling leftist posters changing the focus of Sloan to bash O'toole and Trump?
So here is a fair comment on this topic by a National Post columnist

Quite the pedigree on the donator Mr Fromm, no wonder Erin is trying to put some distance from him and the party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_F...e_supremacist)
Speaking of pedigree,I've never heard Chrysta freeland come out to denounce her maternal grandfather for being a Nazi collaborator during the second world War but hey that doesn't surprise me as liberals like to keep skeletons in the closet as much as possible. I'm sure if she was asked about it would be the typical liberal response deflect and defer and in no way directly answer the question because a liberal that can give a honest answer is nearly extinct.
T304 please try to stay on topic or start your own thread.
Back to Sloan....
Sloan first ran for the party in 2019. Sloan's homophobia, misogyny, bigotry and other extreme views would have been no secret nevertheless Andrew Scheer and his team let Sloan stand as a candidate. It is encouraging to have a new leader who won't tolerate Sloan or people like him.
This firing is political optics, the CPC took $13.00 from that fee, so they are just as guilty..but apparently blameless...
I have been telling you this for years - CPC/Libs are the wings of the same bird. You all have been trained to vote against something, or a pretty color. Frequently on the campaign trails, I would ask that question - great your voting XXXX - please tell me one policy of the party you are voting for...95% can't name a single policy of who they are voting for, and most just I have to rid of XXXX. Now is not the time to split the vote, vote have to stick together, maybe next time...45 yrs you have hoped/voted for promised change...
It is called identity politics for a reason - because it makes you a single issue voter, based on your demographics. Sadly, we are locked into this cycle and is exactly why O' Toole is doing this as plays to far left ideolog's and activists (two big demographics). This is the new norm and those who continued to swayed by these of actions - will continue to be swayed to vote for them.
If it was, which is isn't, he and his buddy would have been suspended years ago for repeated and multiple infractions.
There is a rule however that one could say is in violation of rule'2:' as the intent of it by the poster was to be intentional provocative, considering the OP's well know political leanings.
just saying :)Quote:
: 2. Controversial, religious orwill be removed without warning.Quote:
political threads deemed inappropriate or needlessly provocative
Would -could,every political post be considered under that rule? From both political sides viewpoint, or just one?
Given how often some people will chirp about Harper/Cons whenever JT/Liberals do something.......................................Li ke being caught with a known terrorist while in India ( just saying). Talk about the pot calling the kettle black
It is refreshing to see someone get the boot, whether it's little more than optics ahead of a much speculated on 2021 election.
I asked if removing Sloan was justified . Bad question?

X2. O'Toole is very media savvy knowing full well that allowing Sloan to stay on paints a huge target on the party as alt right KKK members. The leftist,bought-and-paid-for Liberal main stream media propaganda machine would have a hay day. This effectively takes the wind right out of their sails. Well played,Mr. O'Toole,well played.
A media savvy political leader would never go and announce that he believed "residential schools" were set up to educate aboriginal people and were a good thing. So he has managed to shot himself in the foot and now will have to wear his remarks into the next election campaign.
So he has got rid of one racist and now looks like he is a racist himself, why do you guy's keep voting in a three legged donkey to run in a thorough breed race.

There's a classic example of giving the media ammunition to use against oneself by making a comment that could be easily misconstrued and turned against you that required a clarification which was acceptable to the Council of the Grand Chiefs and the Reconciliation Commission. That was a good lesson for all Conservatives. Unfortunately,the only person that didn't get with the program was Sloan,so,out he went.
[QUOTE=Gilroy;1142207] he managed to upset the vast majority of Canadians with his remark about residential schools being set up to "educate" the aboriginal population.]
Unfortunately he suffered from speaking the truth, as did others if the record of the recorded history of residential schools holds any merit. Not only politicians of the time were in favor of these schools but elders and tribal chiefs also thought the schools would be good for their children as it would give them opportunities in the new emerging world. Unfortunately these schools quickly turned into sweat shops due to a lack of funding and because educators of the day knew little or cared little about native culture. Once the schools operations were handed over in their entirety to religious sects did they truly become the horror show we know of today.
So in effect, people like O'Toole are speaking accurately based on actual history while his critics are really the clueless ones.
Very well put Sawbill......the 'intent' of the intervention was valid and encouraged by one and all at the time. The problem was the execution of the program and using the Church to run it.
And Indigenous children remain left behind to this day:
It's just a topic were not allowed to speak off openly...Quote:
In Canada, 52.2% of children in foster care are Indigenous, but account for only 7.7% of the child population according to Census 2016. This means 14,970 out of 28,665 foster children in private homes under the age of 15 are Indigenous.
Results from the 2011 National Household Survey also show that 38% of Indigenous children in Canada live in poverty, compared to 7% for non-Indigenous children.
[QUOTE=sawbill;1143488]Well I must disagree the only clueless one here is O'Toole trying to score a few political points by pointing out the schools were still being opened under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. If we go by your argument then Trudeau should get CREDIT for continuing the schools?
Sloan is a separate infesting sore for the Conservative party and is apart from the self inflicted wound O'Toole gave himself for the residential schools remark. The continual underlying theme haunting the Conservative party is one of being seen a racist or in worse case scenario's as white supremist, people VOTED FOR SLOAN.
[QUOTE=Gilroy;1143549]Just so we are all on the same page.
O'Toole is clueless for trying to score points for pointing out schools were opened by PET.
JT is all that and meets that high bar for trying to score points by blaming Harper for everything, whether accurate or not..except maybe opening schools
Man, I wish we had emojis here. Different rules for different folks
/wide eyed shock
/smile
I have yet to know a politician that doesn't play those games. But for whatever reason, Liberals pharts smell like roses and they can use wedge issues, attack ads, try to score cheap political points, whatever and get passes. But when cons do it...
