Well.....who’s it gonna be ?
Peter MacKay was an obvious initial front-runner, but has a reputation as a Red Tory.
Erin O’Toole seems to be on par with him at this point. Haven’t read much about him but I liked what I saw in an early campaign ad.
Too bad Rona Ambrose is out, she was very capable and well respected.
John Baird would be worthy also.
A "red tory" may be a necessary evil to win the election. The leader sells the party to the voting body so a milder point of view may be beneficial to the party's success.
I'm leaning toward O'Toole but I still need to do some research, I recently renewed my membership.
I like Leslyn Lewis. Will she win. Doubt it but unless I can be convinced otherwise she has my vote

And is a nationalist not a globalist.
And she recognizes the importance of the family
She speaks a lot of truth.

I'm really glad you guys reminded me of her. I've been bombarded with emails from a few other candidates I think I only received one from her campaign quite a while ago so I guess I overlooked it.
She certainly has piqued my interest !!Quote:

Use to hear quite a bit from Erin O'toole, but he's been quite as of late. Must be gearing up for a run at the leadership. I'm a fan of his...
All you need is one stupid thing to come out of his mouth and Justin will have all your guns within 4 years.Quote:

I don’t understand why OToole’s campaign chair Walid Soliman said he liked Islamic banking and when criticized about it got Jim Karahalios removed from the leadership race.
He is even suing a reporter about the problem.
That is why I don’t like OToole.

I don’t know about Lewis guys. She is certainly well educated but does she have enough LIFE experience ?
I see many degrees and she is not all that old, has she spent enough time in the REAL WORLD ?
Granted, she doesn’t need to have much real world experience to exceed our current PM.
Black, Female, Conservative....she's already won :-)
Canadian have already shown us, you don't get elected based on merits....
For many people a leaders stance on abortion is very important. More important than guns for a lot of voters.Quote:

Being black and female is not a clear win. We also need a leader that will have the guts to make change and not just a face.Quote:

I don't agree with this statement. I love and care about my guns too, but reasonable people will not put decisions about guns in the top 5 most important topics concerning Canada. What is understood is that by getting a conservative gov't elected, our rights as gun owners will no longer be in jeopardy.....Quote:

Pro-Life, No Hidden Agenda
DR. LESLYN LEWIS·SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2020·READING TIME: 2 MINUTESPublic
Ever hear that Conservatives have “a hidden agenda”?
It is by far the most common attack made by liberal media elites against Conservatives.
And the most frustrating thing is that it works - especially against people like me who are pro-life.
It’s time to take that weapon away by being absolutely crystal clear on abortion.
As Conservative Leader I will:
Ban the misogynistic practice of sex-selective abortion;
Criminalize coerced abortions;
Increase funding for pregnancy centres; and
End funding for international abortions.
That’s it. Nothing hidden about it.
These are clear proposals that will not only result in fewer abortions, but are sensible pro-life policies that the majority of Canadians support.
When it comes to Private Members Bills (PMBs), under my leadership Members of Parliament will be able to put forward any bills that are important to them and/or their constituents - and everyone will be able to vote according to their conscience.
That’s democracy.
What do you think? Are you ready to fight an election *without* the Liberal spin of a hidden agenda working against us?
Click here to let me know what you think.
It’s two quick questions, but they’re the most important questions I’ve asked yet.
If you want to make sure I’m able to put forward a “no hidden agenda” platform in the next election campaign, I need your support. Click here to donate today.
Sincerely,
Leslyn Lewis, CPC Leadership Candidate

I like her a lot, that's why she gets my vote.....
Why OToole is hard to support. He is responsible for this.
Derek Sloan: Conservative. No Apology.
Richard,
One thing that should put us Conservatives head and shoulders above the Trudeau Liberals is our commitment to respect grassroots democracy.
This commitment must be demonstrated at every opportunity, especially in a leadership contest.
This is why I spoke out when Richard Décarie’s candidacy was in question a few months ago. In the end, the party’s Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) rejected Décarie’s candidacy and no reason was given. Cancel culture and political correctness? That’s my guess. This was a low moment for LEOC.
Another misguided policy of LEOC was the exorbitant $300,000 entrance fee. This was so high that it kept my caucus colleague Marilyn Gladu out of the race. Marilyn and I have very different views on many issues, but her voice should not have been excluded from this contest. Instead, LEOC’s exclusionary attitude resulted in another candidate being excluded. Shameful.
Well, today, another candidate’s fate is up in the air: Jim Karahalios.
A number of weeks ago, Jim Karahalios was denied the opportunity to run.
This, in spite of LEOC initially approving Jim’s entry into the race; in spite of Jim collecting the required 3000 signatures; and in spite of Jim raising the $300,000 entry fee.
Unlike the case of Richard Décarie, we know exactly why Jim Karahalios was evicted from the race. One of the other leadership candidates didn’t like the contents of Jim’s campaign communications, and he then filed a complaint against Jim’s campaign.
This complaint first led to a fine being levied against Jim’s campaign, and then, ultimately, to the disqualification of his candidacy altogether. This was a huge overstep on the part of the members of LEOC who were involved. They were wrong in their disqualification of Jim Karahalios.
Jim Karahalios has since gone to court to get reinstated as a candidate. True, it shouldn’t be up to a judge as to who should be the next CPC leader. But it shouldn’t be up to LEOC, either. It should be up to the members of the Conservative Party of Canada.
Should LEOC be censoring what candidates can and cannot say? No, they should not.
Let the members decide. This is why we have elections. Candidates say things and the voters make their evaluations, and then they vote. Sure, Jim made statements that some people didn’t like, and not everyone may agree with him. Indeed, Jim even attacked me at one point, but I didn’t go crying to the party that I didn’t like what Jim said.
Let Jim Karahalios run.
Put Jim Karahalios back onto the ballot.
Let the members decide.
As a Party, we should not partake in “cancel culture”. That is something the Liberals do. We have to be better than that. It is most unfortunate that, once again, LEOC let political correctness and left-wing cancel culture drive them to an anti-democratic decision.
If we really believe in grassroots democracy, where the party members, and not an appointed Red Tory elite, have the power, then I hope the court rules in Jim Karahalios’ favour.
Best wishes for every success today, Jim Karahalios.
Do you agree,
Sincerely,

How many immigrants from Muslim and other European countries wont vote for a female to rule the country? Seeing as multicultural we now are we also need to consider the large number of voters from areas like the GTA and Quebec. Makes no difference to me but I'm not so sure about the high density areas with many new Canadian votersQuote:

For Ms.Lewis there's a huge elephant in the room. She's never won an election and has zero parliamentary experience. Politics is a blood sport,no place for neophyte. Should she gain the CPC leadership,unless she's elected in a general election with a sweeping majority,the Liberals will eat her alive. I can't see that happening,especially,with an ultra leftist,openly hostile, liberal media ready to blow the least little faux pas or verbal misstep miles out of proportion.Quote:

Dear
My name is Leslyn Lewis, and I decided to run for Leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada because I saw fundamental freedoms in our country slipping away.
Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion...all have been under constant attack in the last several years.
I believe a real leader must be willing to speak to anyone with the courage to ask a question.
That’s why I intentionally chose Rebel News for the first media interview of my Leadership campaign.
I believe it’s wrong for those on the left AND the right to limit freedom of the press.
Canada is either a free country, or it will cease to be the Canada I know and love.
As Leader of the Conservative Party, I will end the discrimination against independent news outlets like Rebel News and True North.
As Prime Minister, I will personally invite Rebel News to my first press conference!
And I will withhold federal research money from universities who refuse to respect freedom of speech.
Canada needs a Conservative party ready to fight for true freedom in Canada.
I need your help to build that kind of party. TODAY is the deadline to sign up to vote in the leadership race is.
Please click here to register now!
Let’s fight for Canada together!
Sincerely,
Leslyn Lewis

Dear David,
I need to tell you a personal story.
I think when you know it you will understand why abortion is not a settled issue for me.
And I believe that even if you have a different opinion than me, you will understand my position a little better.
When I had just completed Law School and was starting my law career, articling on Bay street, I got pregnant.
From a career perspective this was the worst possible timing. Who would hire a law student walking around pregnant? How was I even going to study for and pass the bar exam?
The pressure to have an abortion was immense.
Friends went ahead and booked abortion consultations on my behalf.
People told me that I didn’t have a choice. It was my future, or my baby.
I need to be honest with you. In some sense they were right. For example, I was the only student not hired by the firm I was articling for, despite performing very well in my time there.
But I had something almost nobody else in my situation ever has: a supportive partner.
The most important person in my life stood by my side and helped me withstand the pressure.
And in the end, despite initial setbacks in my career, I have thrived, running my own law firm and getting incredible opportunities to teach in universities. And now I am running for leadership of our party.
My children have helped give me purpose and made me a better lawyer. They have shown me the power of choosing life.
And they are the reason I want to fight for all the women and girls who, like me, felt immense social social pressures to have an abortion.
I have been clear with my “No-Hidden Agenda” plan that:
I will fight for the vulnerable through banning the misogynistic practice of sex-selective abortions.
I will end abortion funding overseas and focus Canadian funding on actually helping women and girls overseas thrive.
I will criminalize coerced abortions.
And I will increase funding for pregnancy centres.
The last point is very important to me because I want women and girls all across Canada to have what I actually had: the support to choose life.
I want them to know that in this country you don’t have to choose between following your dreams, and having a family.
That’s what I’m fighting for.
And now you know why.
Sincerely,
PS: You can help me reach more Canadians with my vision for our party and for a Canada built on courage, compassion and common sense by making a donation today!

Leslyn certainly doesn’t look for political correctness just truth.

Some cultures/people voting for this countries leadership will not put a female in the leaders seat. Will it make a difference, nobody knows but we do know where the seats are won that seem to decide for the rest of the country.Quote:

I just keep coming back to the belief that the right candidate is the most qualified candidate. Right now, I don’t think that’s Lewis. And at the same time, I don’t like the idea that some will say “ well, it’s still a party of the old white guys”.....
Lesyln might not win in first vote but second she could be player. That counts

From Leslyn Lewis.
Seems like a decent position on legal guns Good enough for me
Dear
I want my children, my neighbours’ children and the children all across Canada to be safe from violence.
But I don’t appreciate when someone tries to use my concern for my children’s well-being to trick me into accepting bad policies.
The Liberal gun ban makes me angry not just because they are going after law-abiding firearms owners, but because they are preying on the fears of parents and concerned Canadians to get away with it.
If Justin Trudeau truly wanted to protect Canadians like me and my family, he would have accepted the Conservatives' long-standing policy of directing funds towards cracking down on smuggled firearms and gang violence.
In order to convince Canadians that there are thousands upon thousands of military-style firearms floating around Canada, the Liberals released a scarily long list of “1,500 assault-style weapons” that they will ban.
But in order to hit that big scary number, they had to list not only guns that have already been banned; they included cannons and an ever-changing list of “variations” of certain types of firearms.
Meaning that target shooters and duck hunters now trying to purchase legal rifles, have bought firearms that are perfectly legal one day, but then found themselves suddenly in possession of a prohibited firearm the next.
I love my kids, and I would do anything to protect them, but I am not afraid of sport shooters, duck hunters, or cannons. This is why I have promised to repeal this Liberal gun ban and reroute these resources to tackle firearm smuggling, invest in vulnerable youth, and fight gang violence.
I look forward to taking on Justin Trudeau in the next election and presenting my plan for common sense firearms laws that protect the rights of our law-abiding hunters and farmers while taking real measures to protect our families.
If you’re with me and want to see us take on the Liberals in the next election with a real common sense plan, please donate today to help me take the first step and become the Leader of our party.
