Maxime Bernier and the debate I hope doesn�t derail the CPC
What’s everybody else think about Maxime Bernier’s views in this week’s news ?
Myself, I agree with a lot of what he is saying. There IS a danger with extreme diversity, and this should not be equated with racism. I favour the American melting pot model of immigration but with OUR system of qualifications and points for selecting immigrants.
to those who come to work and prosper, come on in. To those who want to change Canada, no thanks.

Much ado about nothing. Maxine was unofficially offering his personal opinion. The Liberal bias in the main stream media was strong,there. Again and as usual,they try to make a mountain out of a molehill for "brownie points" from their Liberal Party masters.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Bernier should have been leader.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

For the entertainment value alone....maybe. The downside would be the fodder he would have given the media at every turn. He would be far worse than Trump.

I don’t think it can be dismissed as much ado about nothing, he’s put Scheer in an awkward spot.
If he disowns Bernier and his opinions, he risks alienating a significant portion of the Conservative base.
If he doesn’t issue a public rebuke of Bernier, it will dog him through the next election campaign and it will be a talking point for JT and the fun bunch.
I think Maxime has more support in this area than many realize. Especially in Quebec where the Cons need a lot more support to win next fall. Perhaps it’s a strategy.

The Feds, Star, CBC, G&M, CTV , Toronto City council all were doing backflips trying to discredit Ford and stop him. The left did the same in the US with Trump. Doesn't seem to work right now. I think Bernier would have carried Quebec and likely kicked Trudough to the simple little rich boys who don't need to work curb.

I was thinking the same, an unhappy Conservative with a big following in Quebec goes rogue. Not good.
I was optimistic that this debate would expose JT’s weakness when it came to Quebec but it appears to be hurting the Conservatives worse
