They are not unlike Trump.
They& #39;ve pushed racism, too (one of several, I don& #39;t feel like counting):

What about Calgary MP, Michelle Rempel showing up on FOX News, protesting the award (a decision made by the Supreme Court of Canada, I might add) to a man who was held at Gitmo, and tortured, and his guilt has never been proven? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHMt7T0eN54">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
@Garossino went to great lengths to debunk charges and allegations against Omar Khadr. To my knowledge, no one has taken her up on her challenge
Then there is unelected Senator Lynn Beyak, appointed by Harper: https://globalnews.ca/news/6595536/lynn-beyak-racist-letters-apology/">https://globalnews.ca/news/6595...
And Stephen Harper and his "old stock Canadian" comments. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/09/17/old-stock-canadians-harper-debate-economy_n_8156190.html">https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/09/1...
Not to forget Harper spends far too much time cheering on the likes of Trump and fellow dictators like Viktor Orban
What about Tory MP Michael Cooper? https://globalnews.ca/news/5343211/andrew-scheer-michael-cooper-justice-committee">https://globalnews.ca/news/5343...

Let us not forget another unelected Senator, brought aboard by Harper, who shit posts like Theo Fleury & Brett Wilson, despite that she was supposedly brought in for "sober second thought. I& #39;ve yet to see a sober post from Ms Batters. She does cozy up to racists, though.
We were lucky in October, Canada. We& #39;d be a dumpster fire if Scheer had been elected, too. Maybe not as bad as the US, but bad, nonetheless.
When the CPC is left with nothing other than two assholes as front-runners in their next leadership convention, it tells me the CPC is dead. If the party survives Canada is in bigger trouble than I thought.
Finished.
Finished.
