Interesting interview with Erin O’Toole. He seemed to be a throwback to socially and environmentally progressive Conservatives of previous decades.

He isn’t particularly candid, but the interview is still worth a listen.

    Judging him based on his personal opinions when he’s permitted them do NOT give an impression as to how he’d be as a PM for the precise reason he was so different and so party-line while leading the federal Blues: if he wasn’t permitted an opinion as a leader, he wouldn’t be permitted an opinion as a PM.

    The same, tired, pro-oil, anti-Canadian, republican shit we got when he led the party then, would have been the theme of him representing his party in the PM spot.

    Ultimately the blues don’t care whom their mouthpiece is, as long as he can say the lines while serving, and scapegoat out when the chickens come home to roost. Lather, rinse, repeat.
