Poilievre turns to Ontario PC to run federal Conservatives Mike Crase,
who has run the provincial PCs since 2018, has been hired to run the
party, the Star has learned.

Ottawa Bureau
Fri., Sept. 16, 2022
Hands on: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre addresses the
Conservative caucus for the first time as leader during a meeting in
Ottawa Sept. 12.
OTTAWA — The executive director of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative
party is making a leap to the federal level.
Mike Crase, who has run the PCs since 2018, has been hired to run the
Conservative party, the Star has learned.
It’s the latest staffing change made by Pierre Poilievre as he nears
the end of his first week as federal leader.
He’s also changing the entire board of the Conservative Fund, the
organization charged with raising and spending the party’s money.
The new chair of the board will be Robert Staley, a longtime Poilievre ally.
Among its new members is Tony Clement, a former MP and cabinet
minister, who also helped run Poilievre’s campaign.
When Clement made his own attempt at running for leadership of the
federal party in 2017, Crase was among his campaign organizers.
Crase became the executive director of the party after Patrick Brown
resigned the leadership in 2018. He stayed on as Doug Ford took over
the party and then led it to victory in two elections.
Crase isn’t expected to start in the job until after the Ontario PC
fall convention later in October.
He’s replacing Wayne Benson, who was hired by interim party leader
Candice Bergen in her own reorganization of party headquarters earlier
this year.
That Poilievre would replace him was expected. Staff in the party’s
headquarters were told during a call late Friday night by the party’s
president, Rob Batherson, sources told the Star.
Although Poilievre is slowly putting into place his team in the House
of Commons — he announced his deputy leaders and other members of his
inner circle earlier this week — getting the party apparatus, itself,
in fighting shape is seen by many to be more important.
After two general elections and three leadership races in five years,
there’s concern the party has fallen behind its rivals in areas such
as voter ID.
With Poilievre’s prowess in attracting hundreds of thousands of new
members to the party, keeping them engaged and motivated will be
crucial to continue the momentum for the next general election.

A reporter rudely clashed with Pierre Poilievre. What happened next
was the important part Canadian media just got a glimpse of what may
be in store for them, perhaps for years, writes Bruce Arthur.
Bruce Arthur
By Bruce Arthur
Columnist
Wed., Sept. 14, 2022
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks with reporters in the
foyer of the House of Commons, in Ottawa, Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022.
There were to be no questions. Those were the ground rules Pierre
Poilievre’s people communicated to the press on Tuesday, in the new
Conservative leader’s first media appearance in weeks. He’ll give a
statement, and you can watch.
Some media were grumpy. David Akin, chief political correspondent for
Global News, thought this was unacceptable. According to sources in
the room, Akin told Poilievre press secretary Anthony Koch, “We’re not
his f------ stenographers. And you can tell him that.”
Akin is known as the kind of reporter who shouts questions whether you
asked for them or not, though usually not in the middle of a
statement; he did not respond to a request for comment.
He barked at Poilievre as he spoke, asking if he would take questions
afterwards; Poilievre, rattled enough to revert to his instincts,
called Akin a Liberal heckler, even after Akin identified himself.
Akin kept on, and Poilievre agreed to take two questions in midstream.
Nobody came off particularly well.
OK, fine. Akin was overly combative, even if it got results; he would
later apologize for being “rude and disrespectful.” Poilievre seemed
to have been thrown off-balance. Media dustups happen all the time:
they just aren’t always broadcast live. Far-right websites such as The
Rebel and the True North Centre, or right-wing influencer Ontario
Proud, rushed to push out the video; all three, self-servingly, love
to say mainstream media is the enemy. That’s typical stuff.
But what happened after the brief tussle was the important part. Koch
tweeted that Akin had told him to tell Poilievre to “go f--- himself.”
And Poilievre’s fundraising email later that night claimed Akin, whom
the email identified by name, was hurling obscenities, and said, “The
media are no longer interested in even pretending to be unbiased. They
want us to lose.”
Not only was the incident used to smear the media and gin up anger,
the incident itself was misrepresented, and Akin himself — who has
worked for conservative outlets such as the National Post, Sun Media
and the Sun News Network, and whose outlet receives no government
funding, unlike newspapers — was branded an enemy. Fomenting anger at
the media is a lazy but effective trick to consolidate support and
blur reality: it’s used everywhere from conspiracy theorists to Donald
Trump to the people who sell miracle diets. (Here’s what THEY don’t
want YOU to know! Or, as the Poilievre email said, “This is what we’re
up against.”)
But Poilievre doing it this way, three days into his leadership, tells
you a lot. None of it is good.
Look, politicians have sparred with the media for as long as they’ve
both existed, though Stephen Harper’s time as PM was a notable
high-water mark. Harper fundraised off the media, too, and some emails
named specific writers.
Poilievre, though, is ratcheting up the noise in a more frenetic
environment. When Global News’s Rachel Gilmore recently asked him for
comment on his numerous photos with far-right anti-vaccine extremists,
Poilievre pushed out a statement with the introduction, “One of Global
News’ so-called journalists decided to smear me and thousands of other
Canadians because we criticized the federal government’s unscientific
and discriminatory vaccine mandates.” Gilmore, notably, has been a
high-profile target of The Rebel and the People’s Party of Canada,
including PPC Leader Maxime Bernier, who has explicitly called for
harassment of journalists. The harassment of female reporters in
particular, including female reporters of colour, has escalated this
year.
And Poilievre, of course, chased PPC and convoy votes in his
leadership triumph, and that group is explicitly, angrily anti-media.
Poilievre’s choice for House leader, former party leader Andrew
Scheer, spent his leadership farewell speech calling for Canadians to
read right-wing content mills, and said earlier this year,
“(Poilievre) is not going to listen to our enemies on the left. Our
enemies, the media.”
So this is probably how it’s going to go. Attacking the media is a
strategy to go with the promise of defunding the CBC and cancelling
the federal media subsidy. (There is plenty of conservative media in
Canada, by the way, and some of it takes the subsidy, too.) Poilievre,
meanwhile, won the leadership by reading the anger in his party better
than anybody else, and he might have to keep that emotional appeal
high for up to three long years. Which means we in the media aren’t
ready for what is coming for us.
It will be a challenge. You can absolutely call for better media
coverage. But media is in no way obligated to both-sides the truth,
and the Conservative party in particular has been guilty of pushing
imaginary problems to an increasingly angry base. If one politician is
less truthful than another and is covered honestly, it can look like
that politician is being attacked. If that politician declares media
an enemy, the temperature goes up.
All journalists can really do is avoid unnecessary fights, and do the
work. If you want to know why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t
heckled mid-statement, the short answer is that while the prime
minister often gives answers full of infuriatingly empty calories, he
has a track record of answering questions. The general lack of
transparency in his government is a real issue, but he shows up.
Meanwhile, in all their anti-media rhetoric, the Conservative party
never talks about the fundamental importance of a free press to a
functioning democracy. Seems like a tell.
Meanwhile, one of the questions Poilievre did eventually answer was
about Quebec MP Alain Rayes, the former deputy leader who left the
Conservative caucus in response to Poilievre’s ascension. The party
encouraged voters to call and demand Rayes’ resignation, and the MP’s
office is now being swamped with harassing calls.
Inventing enemies is a feature, as it turns out, rather than a bug.

Poilievre replaces top lawyer at Conservative Party
Michael Wilson, an ally of the new leader, replaces Arthur Hamilton
Pierre Poilievre has replaced the Conservative Party's top lawyer with his own pick, CBC News has learned, as he continues to shake up the party's upper echelons.
The party's legal counsel, Arthur Hamilton, has been replaced with Michael Wilson, a Poilievre ally and partner at the law firm Goodmans, according to sources. The sources were not authorized to speak publicly about the change.
It's the latest in a series of appointments by Poilievre that include an overhaul of the party's powerful fundraising arm and a reported change to a high-ranking leadership role.
Wilson, a partner in the dispute resolution group at Goodmans, helped out with Poilievre's leadership campaign. A Politico profile of the campaign names him as an Ontario field organizer. He previously worked as chief of staff to Ontario's attorney general.
His predecessor, Hamilton, a partner at Dentons, has a long history of representing the party, including during high-profile incidents during the Stephen Harper era, such as the 2011 robocalls affair.

The switch follows other recent behind-the-scenes changes. One of Poilievre's first moves upon becoming Conservative leader was to replace the head of the powerful Conservative Fund.
James Dodds, appointed to the party's fundraising arm by former leader Erin O'Toole, was replaced with lawyer Robert Staley, another Poilievre ally who has been with the party since the Harper period.
Former MP and cabinet minister Tony Clement was also appointed to the Fund's board.
Less than a week after winning the leadership, the Toronto Star reported Mike Crase, executive director of Ontario's Progressive Conservatives, would become executive director of the federal party.
A spokesperson for Poilievre's office said he would not comment on staffing matters.

He advises public and private companies, institutional clients and regulated parties on a wide range of disputes and proactive risk mitigation strategies to avoid compliance failings and protracted proceedings.
Clients facing complex disputes, contract and business tort litigation, financial institution and regulatory litigation, as well as administrative law and governance issues, choose Arthur because his approach extends beyond simply executing the steps required in the litigation process.

Known for his organizational acumen, Arthur's mandates routinely involve disputes with multiple parties, multiple issues and, in some instances, multiple decision-makers across numerous jurisdictions. Clients benefit from his ability to manage a large number of stakeholders on complex disputes, providing peace of mind that coordination and file management is a seamless experience.
Recent examples of Arthur's work include:
- Representing insurers and intermediaries in regulatory, administrative and disciplinary proceedings;
- Assisting insurance clients on market conduct investigations and hearings;
- Supporting companies during internal investigations, and representing them in court proceedings where asset freezes or preservation of real or personal property are required in advance of judgment;
- Advising clients on risks and potential liabilities arising from the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act;
- Representing companies in contractual disputes, oppression complaints and matters where a company's brand or reputation is under attack;

Conservative members pick MP Pierre Poilievre to be their new leader
CBC News special coverage on now
Conservative Party of Canada members have chosen Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre to be their new leader.
In the end, it wasn't much of a contest. Poilievre easily clinched victory with an impressive 68.15 per cent of the vote on the first ballot — a decisive result that positions the right-wing and populist politician to lead the party into the next general election.
The campaign was nasty at times. Poilievre squared off against his main opponent, former Quebec premier Jean Charest, in a fight for the leadership and the party's identity.
Poilievre accused Charest of being a closet Liberal, while Charest slammed his opponent in turn as a radical who has sought the support of criminals associated with the Freedom Convoy.
But, tonight, party members left little doubt about who they think is best positioned to lead them into the next general election. Charest got just 16.07 per cent of the points allocated in this preferential ballot election.
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis, the lone social conservative candidate in this race, took just 9.69 per cent of the points. Former Ontario MPP Roman Baber, a vocal critic of COVID restrictions, took 5.03 per cent, while MP Scott Aitchison, a former mayor in Ontario's cottage country, took about 1 per cent of the points.
Poilievre has upended Canadian politics with his firebrand style. He has promised to fire the Bank of Canada governor — a historically non-partisan position — and has accused him of failing to rein in inflation.
Poilievre has railed against COVID-19 restrictions and the federal government's vaccine mandate for travellers and public servants.
He's also branded himself as a fighter for the blue collar, working class — a man who will take on the elites and Liberals.
Below is an earlier version of this story.
The months-long Conservative leadership race will draw to a close in the next hour — bringing to an end a contest that has been marked by high drama and partisan infighting — but also a record-setting turnout.
To avoid a repeat of the last leadership election — when technical troubles delayed the final result until the early morning hours — the party started feeding the ballots through its counting machines earlier this week.
A team of party volunteers has been working around the clock to process the mountain of ballots cast for the five candidates in this race: Conservative MPs Scott Aitchison, Pierre Poilievre and Leslyn Lewis, former Quebec premier Jean Charest and former Ontario MPP Roman Baber.
A remarkable 417,987 ballots were to be counted this week, according to party figures — an unprecedented number for a Canadian political party contest.
Campaign scrutineers — officials from each of the leadership campaigns — have been carefully watching the process unfold to ensure the election's integrity.
"We don't have to worry about problems with the voting machine so the results should come out smoothly," said Rob Batherson, the party's president.
"There will be a button pressed and poof, we'll see the tabulation."
At each round of tabulation, the party will be announcing the number of points received by each candidate. First results are expected around 7:30 p.m. ET.
CBCNews.ca is carrying the leadership election event live, with special coverage also on CBC radio, television and Gem. Here's how to watch and follow results.
Deadlocked with the Liberals
The new leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition will take the reins of a party that is eager to unseat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and end his nearly seven-year-old government — which has been beset by problems in recent months like ongoing airport chaos, passport processing delays, a backlogged immigration system and sky-high inflation.
Despite those issues, recent federal polling suggests the Liberals and the Conservatives are still running neck-and-neck.
And it may be years before the new Tory leader gets the chance to take on Trudeau in a general election because the confidence-and-supply agreement the prime minister signed with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh earlier this year could ensure the Liberals remain in power until the planned 2025 campaign.

Instead, the first task for the new leader is likely to be keeping the party from fracturing after a campaign that frequently got nasty.
The two front-runners, Poilievre and Charest, have traded barbs since this contest began in March.
Poilievre has accused Charest of being a closet Liberal, while Charest has slammed his opponent in turn as a radical who has sought the support of criminals associated with the Freedom Convoy.
Both candidates have framed the election as a fight for the party's identity — with the more moderate Charest on one side and the solidly right-wing and populist Poilievre on the other.

Batherson said bitter leadership campaigns are nothing new. He said he expects people will rally around the new leader to take on the common enemy: Trudeau.
"One thing I've heard from grassroots Conservative members from coast to coast to coast is a strong resolve to come out of this weekend united. There's a strong resolve to support the new leader and make the case for change," Batherson said.
"When the leader's elected, our attention has to change to election readiness."
WATCH: Former CPC leader Andrew Scheer on leadership race
While national polling suggests the currently leaderless Tories are in a dead heat with the Liberals — and there are questions about a possible split within the party itself — the Conservative Party's base is clearly energized.
A leadership campaign like no other
The five leadership contenders collectively sold an eye-popping number of memberships. Poilievre's campaign has claimed it sold in excess of 300,000 cards during this race.
From the 678,702 members who were deemed eligible to vote, the party received 437,854 ballots by the Tuesday deadline — a respectable 65 per cent turnout.
That means hundreds of thousands of Canadians were willing to spend $15 for an annual membership — and went through the sometimes cumbersome process of photocopying an acceptable ID and mailing it and their ballot back to party headquarters — to have their say in this leadership race.
These numbers are unmatched in Canadian political history.
More than twice as many votes were cast in this election than in the 2020 contest — another hotly contested leadership election that featured two former senior cabinet ministers and two well-organized newcomers.
It's more than four times the number of votes cast in the 2004 contest that elected former prime minister Stephen Harper to the party's top job.
It's also significantly more than the roughly 103,000 votes that were cast in the Liberal leadership contest of 2014, which saw Trudeau crowned party chief.

Kory Teneycke is an ex-staffer in Harper's office and Ontario Premier Doug Ford's former campaign manager.
He said tonight's event will be like a coronation because Poilievre sold so many of the new memberships.
"It won't be a dramatic event," Teneycke said.
"Obviously the people won't be sitting, waiting to see what the outcome will be. They'll be waiting to see how Pierre Poilievre positions himself and the party."

Join the Rebel News crew from across the country and in Ottawa to find
out who will be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
After seven months of campaigning, we'll finally learn who will be
crowned the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
Rebel News has been hot on the campaign trail since the beginning when
outgoing leader Erin O'Toole made his exit, chased off for his refusal
to support the Freedom Convoy.
We've had a good look at each candidate and asked them questions you
would never hear from the mainstream media (even if they sometimes
refused to answer).
Who will come out on top?
Ezra Levant and Sheila Gunn Reid will have the announcement LIVE on
this page during our leadership results watch party tonight.
The livestream starts at 5:30 p.m. ET.
Leslyn Lewis, Jean Charest, Pierre Poilievre, Scott Aitchison, and
Roman Baber are all in the running.
Will the winner have what it takes to win back the confidence of the
CPC's despondent base and challenge Justin Trudeau in a future
election?
Let us know what you think by sounding off in the live chat or
submitting a “Rumble Rant” to have your comments and questions read on
the air.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Pierre Poilievre and the anti-elite populism that won the day
Jean Charest's message of moderate conservatism failed to resonate in party leadership contest
During his campaign for the leadership, Poilievre promised to make "Canada the freest country on Earth" by limiting the reach of government.
It was a theme lifted straight out of that 2,500-word essay he wrote while a 20-year-old student at the University of Calgary.
"The most important guardian of our living standards is freedom," he wrote. The government's job, he argued, "is constantly to find ways to remove itself from obstructing such freedoms."
Poilievre echoed that theme during his campaign in part by promising to repeal Bill C-11, which he said would give the CRTC too much authority to regulate online content and restrict freedom of speech.
Poilievre also said he would ban all future vaccine mandates related to work and travel — a message that aligned his campaign with the stated goals of the trucker protests in Ottawa and across the country earlier this year.
Christopher Cochrane, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Toronto, said that while he was surprised Poilievre chose to align himself so closely with the messages of the trucker protests, it doesn't appear to have damaged him in the race for the Conservative leadership.
"From a strategic standpoint, it's almost as if they saw a greater threat in the People's Party than they did in losing the progressive element of their party to the Liberals," he said of Poilievre's campaign strategy.
"There's absolutely nothing in his messaging that suggests he is anything other than a Conservative and those sorts of messages have advantages and disadvantages in the electoral context, but the classic advantage is that they appeal to the party base."
An 'unapologetic conservative'
In appealing to that party base, Poilievre has been fishing for votes among those who knew him as an early Harper Conservative first elected at the age of 24 under the banner of the merged Conservative Party.
"He was there when he was young and he was always perceived as somebody enthusiastic, charismatic, willing to fight and willing to engage on the level that was maybe abrasive. But they always liked this kind of combativeness in him," said Jean-Christophe Boucher, an associate professor of political science at the University of Calgary.
"He is a kind of unapologetic conservative … and somehow party members have found comfort in this kind of person because he's not somebody that's different. They know what he stands for. They actually respect that."
Born in Calgary to a 16-year-old single mother, Poilievre was adopted by francophone school teacher parents and raised in Calgary, where he found his political affiliations.
If today Poilievre is a known quantity in the party and the new favourite of its base, it may be because he spent much of his life swinging a sword for the conservative cause.
At the University of Calgary he led the campus Conservative club before working as an intern for Jason Kenney in the summer of 1999 and then performing policy work as a staffer for Canadian Alliance MP Stockwell Day from 2002 to 2004.
After winning a seat in the Ottawa-area riding of Nepean-Carleton in 2004 — knocking Liberal defence minister David Pratt out of his seat — Poilievre went on to re-election in 2006.
In the 39th Parliament, then-prime minister Stephen Harper appointed Poilievre parliamentary secretary to John Baird, president of the Treasury Board. The following year he was made parliamentary secretary to the prime minister.

cabinet shuffle at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on July 15, 2013. (The Canadian Press/Sean Kilpatrick)
Even as he rose through caucus ranks, that abrasive and combative behaviour Boucher mentioned did not always avoid the ire of Harper and the party he led.
In 2008, Poilievre was made to apologize after musing in a radio interview about whether Canada was "getting value for all of this money" spent on compensating Indigenous residential school survivors — an interview that aired the same day Harper was scheduled to apologize publicly for residential schools.
Such missteps did not derail Poilievre's career. Harper elevated him to cabinet in 2013, making him minister of state for democratic reform. In that role, Poilievre introduced the controversial Fair Elections Act, which had to be amended when critics claimed it would compromise Canadian democracy.
Poilievre was then made minister of Employment and Social Development in early 2015, gaining further executive experience.
Jean Charest's moderate message failed to resonate
"Poilievre is more credible than [leadership rivals] Roman Baber, Leslyn Lewis ... because he's a high-profile former cabinet member and he seems more conservative than Jean Charest, who literally campaigned on being a moderate," said Randy Besco, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto.
"Generally, the candidate that is the more conservative and also credible wins."
Political observers note that Erin O'Toole lost his grip on the Conservative leadership after he ran for it seeking votes from social conservatives, moved to the centre during the federal election and ended up with nothing to show for it.
Boucher said O'Toole's ouster, and the reasons behind it, framed the race to replace him as a search for an anti-O'Toole candidate — a race that left former Quebec premier Charest out of the picture.
"The reason why Conservatives really like Poilievre is that he's never changed since he first ran," Boucher said. "He has values that are clear-cut. He doesn't move between options and he's not O'Toole."
Experts say that — aside from offering a moderate message right after O'Toole tried doing the same thing and failed — Charest also suffered from voter fatigue. While he's experienced — he led the federal Progressive Conservatives, served in Brian Mulroney's cabinet and was premier of Quebec — people may have gotten tired of him.
"He is not yesterday's man. He's the day before yesterday's man," said Barry Cooper, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary.
"He's a very nice, charming man," Cooper said, adding a Charest-led Conservative Party would have experienced "a great diminishing of support ... certainly in Alberta and Saskatchewan and maybe in B.C., although that's a little hard to predict."
Boucher said that Charest's moderate Progressive Conservative message did not resonate in the West and the prevailing view west of Manitoba was that Conservatives lost the last election because O'Toole was not Conservative enough — a problem Charest could not solve.

"I was a bit surprised that Charest ran at all," said Cochrane. "It seems like a lost cause for a Progressive Conservative candidate to run in this election.
"In some respects it's admirable that he ran, to give that part of the party a strong voice in the leadership election. But I would be very surprised if he truly believed he had a chance [of] winning this from the get-go."
Poilievre won while promoting a very different populist message. He fanned public anger toward institutions like the Bank of Canada — accusing it of not acting quickly enough to curb inflation — toward the Liberal government's response to that inflation and toward Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's use of vaccine mandates to help manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
He also threw his weight behind cryptocurrency and stated several times that no ministers from a Poilievre government would be allowed to attend World Economic Forum meetings in Davos, Switzerland.
Poilievre's anti-elite message
The WEF hosts a conference in Davos every January where business leaders and politicians from around the world gather to exchange ideas.
Some Conservative MPs have been accused of spreading anti-WEF conspiracy theories claiming the WEF is really a cabal of global elites planning to remake society, eliminate private property and impose an authoritarian global government.
Many participants in the trucker protests took that same view — Poilievre has not taken it that far. He paints the WEF as a gathering of elites and billionaires and says politicians should be focused on the needs of Canadians, not clinking glasses with the powerful at a posh ski resort.
Now that he's won the leadership with that anti-elite, populist message, some of his critics say he'll have to moderate his tone if he wants to make inroads in the next federal election outside the party's western base. Others are not so sure that's what he'll do.
"Poilieve's message on economic grievances actually runs a lot further than people think," Boucher said. "I don't think he's just going to be interesting for the Conservatives. I think some people on the left will actually buy this message of anti-elitism."
Poilievre may be able to attract disaffected voters from the left, Boucher said, by focusing a general election campaign "on the idea that the reason why inflation is there, the reason why you can't pay for your groceries and inflation rates are moving up, the reason why you are less well off is because of the elites."
