Right now, it's all about sowing the seeds of doubt and showing that old stock Conservatives have never changed and will never change.

Sad, but true ...Brad Sallows said:… There are no disputes conducted civilly with gracious losers and winners anymore; there will be no golden bridges; no-one is allowed to accept defeat and move on without agreeing to apologize whenever so demanded. Concede nothing; compromise nothing; they will use your opposition to what they want now to destroy you if they can in the future ...
Remius said:The key to grow is to actually grow.
Remius said:Goodale voted for it in 2005 and has marched in pride parades since (not sure why this is a right of passage for politicians but whatever). Did Scheer vote for it in 2005 and has he marched? That is what they are trying to highlight. They are saying essentially he isn't marching so he hasn't changed.
It's a chink in the armour.
ModlrMike said:In his response on Tuesday, Scheer's spokesperson said that the Conservative leader "supports same-sex marriage as defined in law and as prime minister will, of course, uphold it."
Seems like growth to me.
So what! Trudeau et al didn't march in Caribanna. Does that mean he doesn't support Caribbean Canadians? Singh marched in a parade that glorified a terrorist. Does that mean he supports terrorism?
Marching means putting one foot in front of the other. No more, no less, unless you're looking to gain SJW points.
Haggis said:Not that he had to but Trudeau justboughtwon Montréal.
Good2Golf said:So long as the Grits can characterize Scheer as stealthily intolerant, and he chooses not to participate in an event more for his personal reasons than a strategically savvy purpose to de-power his opponents, they’ll be winning the ‘perception is reality game’...he could have entirely deflated their efforts by participating and it wouldn’t have cost him anything...would any of the Reform/Alliance/CPC voters really swing to Mad Max if Scheer had walked in the parade with the other National leaders? ??? Dying on a hill so far away from the front seems detached from the end goal...

Brad Sallows said:>Scheer now has to explain or not as to why he isn't marching.
Pride isn't an event to exclusively commemorate SSM. Some gay people don't want to be involved in it any more. Must they explain themselves, or have enough people explained enough times to enough other people that there are aspects which some do not care to be involved with or to witness?
Remius said:Doug Ford went to one. Hard to label him as intolerant to the LGBTQ community after that.
mariomike said:Having been mandated to work the Pride parade in Toronto, I agree that Doug's description of "buck naked men running down the middle of Yonge St." was pretty accurate.

I believe he did finally relent under pressure and participated in a much tamer Pride event up in Newmarket.
