Andrew Scheer (and the Conservatives more broadly) got a lot of support in Western Canada this election but he has trouble turning it to the far higher number of seats in Québec
Quote:
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer got an earful from failed Quebec Tory candidates at a meeting in Montreal Monday — with some calling on him to step aside to allow someone else to lead the party into the next election.
Scheer has been on a listening tour of sorts since he came up short in the last election, which saw Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals secure a second mandate. Scheer is fighting to keep his job ahead of a scheduled leadership review vote at the party's next convention in April.
"Andrew Scheer isn't the man for the job. He lost the moral authority with his candidates, with Quebecers," said Maikel Mikhael, who ran for the party in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. He spoke to Radio-Canada, CBC's French-language arm, outside the meeting.
"He cannot win the next election in Quebec, I will not get involved in the riding if he stays," said François Desrochers, the party's former candidate in Mirabel.
Marie-Claire Fournier ran for the party in Thérèse-De Blainville, placing a distant third behind the Bloc Québécois and Liberal candidates. She said she also wants Scheer to resign.
"The sooner we move on, the sooner we will be ready for the next election," she said.
Fournier said it's unlikely the Liberal government will last four years and the party needs to position itself, with a new leader, before another election is called. Failure to act would result in another disappointing result in Quebec, she said.
Scheer has faced a poor reception from Conservative Quebecers in particular.
At the outset of the campaign, the party looked well-positioned to pick up seats in the province — but two shaky performances by Scheer in the French-language debates badly damaged his party's fortunes.
Scheer has fired his chief of staff, Marc-André Leclerc, who also was his chief adviser on Quebec issues. His director of communications, Brock Harrison, was also fired in a staff shake-up last Saturday.
One former caucus member, Quebec Sen. Jean-Guy Dagenais, left the national Conservative caucus last week, citing Scheer's position on social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. He argued Scheer's social conservatism torpedoed the party's fortunes in Quebec.
Quote:
During the campaign, Scheer said he would defend the rights of all Canadians — but some noted LGBTQ Conservatives have since accused Scheer of being "stuck in the past" on issues that have long been settled.
Dagenais also said Scheer attached a "low importance" to Quebec and he could no longer sit as a member of his caucus as a result.
"We have wasted a unique opportunity and the result will be the same the next time, if the current leader and those who advise him remain in office, as is the case at this time," Dagenais said in a statement.
While some failed Quebec candidates had a decidedly negative opinion of Scheer's leadership, others said they were prepared to give him a second chance.
Yves Lévesque, the former mayor of Trois-Rivières and a star candidate for the Conservative Party in the last election, said Scheer showed Monday he was ready to learn from past mistakes. (Lévesque lost to the Bloc candidate, coming in third.)
"He listened a lot, he understood the message, and it will be up to him to adjust his message," Lévesque said.
Scheer avoided reporters outside the event Monday and left without answering questions.

Actually my intention was complete sarcasm. But many young Asians are upwardly mobile so some will no doubt be attracted to the GOP. But despite their rising income they are still minorities and most appreciate the sentiments on that subject by the dems. There is also the weird statistical relationship that more income pushes you right and more education to the left.

The Progressive Conservative government of Manitoba started a new ad campaign in Québec yesterday attempting to convince muslims to move West to our province
and Québec was not too pleased with our premier for having done it https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/manitoba-quebec-religious-symbols-ads-1.5376628
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-manitoba-bill-21-reaction-1.5377426
Quote:
As a political spat plays out between Manitoba and Quebec over Bill 21, some Muslim women affected by the province's ban on religious symbols say they are tempted by the offer to move to the Prairie province.
Seeba Chaachouh, a third-year law student at Montreal's McGill University, says she felt her options shrink after the legislation was passed into law earlier this year. She said the Manitoba government's ad campaign attempting to lure Quebecers is more than gamesmanship.
Relocating is something she will seriously consider upon graduation.
"If this persists, and as a result of this there are more hate crimes against me and my people, then why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I go somewhere where I feel welcome?" said Chaachouh, who wears a hijab.
"I know that if I go there, they will look at my skills rather than what I am wearing on my head."
The ad campaign launched Thursday is aimed at Quebecers who feel limited by the province's secularism law, which prohibits public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols. These include the hijab, skullcap and turban.
In a nod to Bill 21, the ad lists 21 reasons why Manitoba is an appealing place to move, ranging from its diverse population to its plethora of provincial parks.
There isn't, in fact, much history of movement between the two provinces. In 2018, for example, only 341 people moved from Quebec to Manitoba (and 799 went the other way).

and "tabarnak" (literally translated to tabernacle) is considered more of a swear than merde (literally translated to shit; not "poop" or "crap")
doing factory work and swearing with coworkers while being unable to speak any further French was a hilarious good time

As a very poor student of French in college, I find it much easier to understand the language spoken by anyone other than people from France, like people from Quebec, Viet Nam or Africa.

For real tho, think it is a good way for Manitoba to raise concerns over what Québec is doing without treading on their toes too much, and recognizing their freedom to govern differently at a provincial level
even tho the Québec premier complained that Manitoba should be letting Québec citizens focus on Québec affairs
also for reference the Winnipeg newspaper provided a translation from the French ad:

personal critique tho this is the same PC government that shut down hospitals and nursing staff so putting an ad out in Québec calling for new nurses feels somewhat like a backstab to Manitoba citizens

When you think about it, Pride parades are just like St. Patrick's parades but with less leprechauns and gold, and more rainbows
Quote:
Newly appointed deputy Conservative party leader Leona Alleslev is taking heat and has apologized for equating marching in Pride parades with St. Patrick's Day parades.
In an interview with CBC Radio's The House, Alleslev was asked about Conservative Leader Andrew's Scheer's struggle to quell questions about his personal beliefs on same-sex marriage during the election campaign.
The Liberals had resurfaced a video from 2005, when Scheer spoke in the House of Commons against it. Scheer is also the only federal party leader who has not marched in a Pride parade.
"I think that that's obviously his choice and we live in a country where that's his choice," Alleslev told host Chris Hall. "Have we asked anybody if they marched in a St. Patrick's Day parade?"
The backlash on social media was fierce after the interview aired, with many criticizing her choice of comparison.
Conservative insiders expressed their distaste for the comment.
Jamie Ellerton, who ran Scheer's road campaign, and Melissa Lantsman, who helped the party during the election, recently wrote a scathing opinion article in the Globe and Mail, warning the Conservatives would be eternally relegated to second place if they couldn't move past their current stance on social issues.
The two retweeted Alleslev's comments. Lantsman wrote "Hope it's all worth it, Leona Alleslev," while Ellerton posted a dozen examples of Scheer attending festivals with various ethnic and religious groups.
Quote:
Rachel Curran, who served as former prime minister Stephen Harper's director of policy, said it was "one of the ugliest and most offensive things I've heard in a long time."
It wasn't just Conservatives weighing in. Liberals and New Democrats poked fun at Alleslev.
"Even if you choose to ignore the baffling analogical reasoning, Trudeau has actually marched in St. Patrick's Day parades..." read a tweet from Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith.
NDP MP Charlie Angus added some historical context, saying "150 years ago, it would be fitting to ask a Conservative leader why he refused to march in a St. Patrick's Day parade."
Writer Jesse Hawken added to that point "This comparison would work if there was still widespread and institutional discrimination against the Irish in Canada."
And the new minister of Indigenous Services cracked a joke.
Quote:
Alleslev tweeted out an apology on Saturday afternoon.
"I would like to sincerely apologize for a comment I made on CBC's The House. Pride parades represent a wonderful celebration of the LGBTQ community and are an important symbol in the fight for LGBTQ rights," she said.
"I have always stood unequivocally in support of LGBTQ rights and will continue to do so in my role as Deputy Leader and as a parliamentarian. I did not intend to make erroneous and hurtful comparisons — I apologize unreservedly."
Alleslev was appointed deputy leader earlier this week. She was elected in 2015 as a Liberal MP, but crossed the floor to the Conservative side last fall citing issues with the Trudeau government's handling of key files.

Quote:
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday called young Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg a "brat" after she expressed concern about the slayings of indigenous Brazilians in the Amazon.
Bolsonaro questioned the coverage news media have given Thunberg, 16, who on Sunday tweeted a link to a story about the murder of two indigenous people in Brazil's Maranhao state.
"Greta said that the Indians died because they were defending the Amazon," Bolsonaro told a group of journalists. "It's impressive that the press is giving space to a brat like that," he added, using the Portuguese word "pirralha."
Following Bolsonaro's comments, Thunberg changed the bio on her Twitter profile to say "Pirralha."
Thunberg became a symbol for youth demanding radical change to confront climate change when she sparked global school strikes.
Her comments about the deaths of the indigenous people came as the UN was hosting its international climate change conference, where Brazil's environmental policies have been the subject of criticism. Deforestation of its Amazon region rose nearly 30 per cent in the 12 months through July.
"Indigenous people are being literally murdered for trying to protect the forrest from illegal deforestation," she tweeted. "Over and over again. It is shameful that the world remains silent about this."
Quote:
The remark by Bolsonaro — and Thunberg's reaction — caught the attention of Brazilian environmental activists at the COP25 climate talks in Madrid.
Gabriela Baesse, 27, said that the exchange showed the Brazilian president "doesn't understand the youth."
Marina Silva, a centre-left politician and former environment minister under Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's administration, said Bolsonaro's move was "incoherent" with his leadership position.
"He should not worry about fighting Greta because she showed solidarity with the indigenous that were murdered," Silva said. "He should fight the criminals that murdered the indigenous instead of fighting Greta."
The comment by Bolsonaro, who has frequently expressed his admiration for his U.S. counterpart, follows Donald Trump's sarcastic dig at Thunberg in September.
Trump responded to a video of Thunberg discussing suffering people, dying ecosystems and looming mass extinction, saying, "She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!"

Hey, if anyone is interested, I found this blog piece about the guy who operates the Education4Libs twitter account.
https://www.theseventhdegree.net/news/2018/10/28/the-troubled-life-of-twitters-rising-king-of-bullshit
For a long time I was uncertain whether or not E4L is satire or something, but it turns out that he’s for real. Also, I learned that he photoshops his profile pics to square up his jawline, haha. It’s an interesting story though, and the author links to another blog entry where he discusses his methodology for the one linked above.
