O'Toole Weakens The Conservative Party; Advice For Legault

Erin O' Toole is doing his best to confirm what I suspected he'd be: A tool.

And not a good tool but one of those cheap Made in China ones.

O' Toole has now fired two key members of the Conservative party. Two members that have shown to have guts and talent in Derek Sloan and Pierre Poilievre. The former being smeared as a 'racist' for allegedly accepting a donation from a known racist. Aside from the fact Sloan is married to someone who isn't white (I hate the fact that in 2021 we still have to defend people in this way), the donation was sent through the Conservative party so it got passed a few people. It was a classic error especially since the donor also didn't use his real name. O' Toole, to make it worse, didn't even have the dignity to fire Sloan face to face like a man. 

I own a business. I've had to fire people. It's the most difficult thing to do in most cases. I would never show contempt for someone by not giving them the honour of a sit down and explanation.

As for Poilievre, how is it a smart and wise move to get rid of the one talent in the party capable and willing to challenge the Liberals? Moreover, Poilievre seems to be quite informed, and is talented and articulate. Bad, bad move.

O' Toole isn't a leader and my instincts were proven right.

The Conservatives are officially dead to me.

Poilievre and Sloan should now consider joining the PPC.

Here's Legault's chance to break the cycle and extricate himself from the grips of the 'experts'. Cases are slowly inching up again in Quebec and the usual suspects are out crying wolf. Media and infectious disease doctors are now blaming the easing of restrictions. Not sure what they expect anymore? You can't keep people from working and mingling indefinitely. 

So there's the plain human factor in this.

Then there's the fact cases on their own mean nothing if people aren't going to the hospital. Transmissibility for its own sake isn't a reason to keep panicking. Hospitalizations keep dropping in Quebec. If we get to the point where we have cases and low hospitalizations then we know we're in the endemic phase. And with the R-value below one, things are actually good. So it would be nice this gets conveyed and contextualized so as to keep people calm. Fear mongering is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

So this is Legault's chance to regain true control and actually lead as opposed to govern from behind and rely on futile measures.

Put the experts in their place. If you don't, they're gong to hasten our psychological, social and economic demise.
