OTTAWA -- Manitoba MP Candice Bergen is waking up with a new job today: unifying the Conservative caucus.

The party's former deputy leader was elected by her colleagues to serve as interim leader after a majority of MPs ousted Erin O'Toole from the top job.

Bergen faces a caucus that has spent weeks divided and angry over O'Toole's leadership since last year's election loss.

The party must also start preparing to pick a permanent leader.

It will be the third such race in the past five years.

Party president Rob Batherson told members that its national council will be appointing a leadership election organizing committee and will soon meet to discuss the issue.

People are already speculating about who will enter the race.

Tory finance critic and Ottawa-area MP Pierre Poilievre would be considered a strong contender if he decides to run.

Southwestern Ontario MP Marilyn Gladu, who put her name forward to lead the party on the interim basis, told reporters Wednesday she's also considering another leadership bid.

Rona Ambrose, who was a cabinet minister in former prime minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government and became interim leader after he stepped down, ruled out a run on Wednesday despite many members hoping she would enter the fray.

OToole is a CINO ( same as Rino). He was mimicking the virtue signaling Bramdeau and branding the Freedom Truckers as unclean and unwashed.

And O’Toole rejected Conservative Party public meetings with the Freedom Convoy and allowed no competative response to Trudeau’s calling the truckers racists, frivoulous, etc.

Thats when the revolt happened.The Freedom Convoy was the catalyst.

NOw the Conservative Party will attack the Liberals hammer and tongs.Watch it happen.

MP Candice Bergen could make it happen. She neeeds to make the conservative party go on the offensive against Trudeau over the Freedom Convoy mandate and lockdown issues. So far Sashkatchewan and British Columbia have backed off the mandates and lockdowns.Quebec has backed off taxing the unvaxed $5000.00 per person, Alberta could be next. Hopefully every province in Canada will restore the Charter Rights and Freedom of Canadians. The public of Canada is now 70% behind the Freedom Convoy.

She seemed to do pretty well in Parliament, demanding Trudeau apologize to the truckers.

Bergen is tough. She needs to lay the boots to Trudeau in public over his disrespect for Canada's freedom loving working class, blue color men and women Freedom Convoy. 70% of Canadians support the Freedom Convoy.

Bergen has the right stuff:

A Canadian Margaret Thatcher seems almost too much to hope for.

Oh, I’m just waiting for the MSM to dig up the Hollyweird Candice Bergen to get a sound-bite from her denouncing the “Neo-Nazi KKKanadian Politician”, who shares her name. :P

Won't ever happen in the 4 Atlantic Provinces, they're all government-controlled robots, really nice people but they will accept-without-question whatever FedGov tells them to believe or do

I could see them continuing the Covid restrictions for another 10-20 years, willingly

(sorry, I know because I grew up there)

[Candor7]

You may be right but i live in the AP, And I know Premier Higgs ( “Conswervative”)of NB has opted for freedom before and said so re VAX and LOCKDOWNS, and he took a lot of flack from the commie left.

We’ll see. This is not over. There are some very angry people out there and they are spreading quickly.We will see how far it goes.

[canuck_conservative]

OK, not literally everyone, but a big majority

I was talking with my best buddy a few weeks ago, he’s still there, he’s convinced that India is deliberately suppressing their Covid counts ... when I tell him about Ivermectin working, he spits out the “FDA says it’s useless horse paste” comment and refuses to believe it

there’s a LOT of too-trusting-in-Government people like that in the 4 AP’s

[Candor7]

there’s a LOT of too-trusting-in-Government people like that in the 4 AP’s>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed.

let them die.

I have enough IVM to see me and my family through way out in the country next to the wilderness..

I don’t really care much what they do. We just got ready and prepared to save our selves despite the government.We avoid all of them and their hospitals like the plague they are.
