Erin O’Toole’s time as CPC leader is coming to an end
Erin O’Toole just missed the political opportunity of his lifetime. He had tens of thousands of disaffected, freedom-loving blue-collar Canadians show up on his doorstep, and he let them down. He wavered, flip-flopped and disrespected the truckers, meanwhile, many of his fellow Conservative MPs attended the rally and passionately defended these truckers and their freedom convoy. The writing was on the wall, and a group of MPs are finally trying to remove him as leader. Will he survive? Does he deserve to lead this party? On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice Malcolm breaks down ever...

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Conservative leader Erin O’Toole is a dead man walking. At publication time, thirty-five MPs have signed a letter asking for a caucus leadership review vote, possibly as soon as this Wednesday’s caucus meeting. According to the Globe and Mail, sources claim that they have at least 63 of 119 Conservative members who will vote O’Toole out. That is, if he doesn’t pull the trigger himself, and call a vote, or just call it quits. The Conservatives need to take a long hard look at themselves, what they stand for, who...

Where is Erin O’Toole?
Justin Trudeau is unravelling before our eyes. His rhetoric is increasingly angry and unhinged, and his policy ideas – including the insanely authoritarian suggestion of forced vaccination – are equal parts radical and delusional. This presents the perfect opportunity for the Leader of the Opposition – Conservative MP Erin O’Toole. O’Toole could be out there striking a different tone, showing a different path for Canadians and demonstrating a more moderate approach. But instead, Erin O’Toole seems to be absent from the federal scene. We didn’t hear any opposition from him over the latest lo...

Does Erin O'Toole need a mandate to stay on as Conservative leader? (feat. Sen. Denise Batters)
Conservative senator Denise Batters says her petition for a referendum on Erin O'Toole's leadership is about giving members – rather than simply caucus members – a say in the party's future. She joins True North's Andrew Lawton to explain why. Plus, Andrew says Erin O'Toole needs to defend his decisions in September's elections to members and conservative Canadians if he wants to remain the leader – but he hasn't done this.

Erin O’Toole alienates the Conservative base
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is attempting to quash dissent and silence his critics by booting Senator Denise Batters out of caucus, in response to her petition calling on the party to hold an early leadership review. While O’Toole’s sycophants are applauding him for this move, it’s clear this is a sign of weakness. Whether it’s O’Toole’s flip-flop on the carbon tax or treatment of pro-life caucus members, O’Toole has alienated so many members of the Conservative base. It’s no wonder he doesn’t want a leadership review. Things are not looking good for the...

Conservative leader Erin O’Toole and the elites running the party may be finally forced to face its base – and the Conservative base is not happy. This week, Conservative Senator Denise Batters launched a petition calling on Conservative members to review O’Toole’s leadership within the next six months, ahead of the party’s planned 2023 convention. According to Batters, O’Toole flip-flopped on core policies without input from members and caucus, and he lost the last election by every measure. In response, pro-O’Toole MPs and activists are desperately trying to defend the Conservative leader but are coming off incredibly...
