Specifically talking about the Aurora and Orlando shooting where in both cases the guns were legally owned and no priors. These situations make the non gun owners think we are all going to flip out at some point..
We need to support Maxime Bernier

Ohhhh ya... O'leary is out and Max is in baby!!!!! Mad Max for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a good option and is poised to gain more seats in Quebec than O'Leary would have, like it or not you need some seats in Quebec to handily get a majority.
I hope Bernier finds favor throughout Canada and becomes our next prime minister.

Agreed. It is nice to see a political candidate who has an actual platform, sticks by his principles, and doesn't just blindly promise a bunch of BS to get elected. At the same time, Max seems open to listening to new ideas and logical arguments.
Hopefully by 2019 most Canadians will be smart enough to see past the Trudeau liberals flim-flam. Four years of liberal debt and bureaucracy is enough.

Not a chance.
There are lots of words to describe Canadian voters.
Smart is NOT one of them.
The hairdo is good for at least one more majority.
Bernier will make a good leader of the opposition.
The most we can hope for is a Liberal minority and that's a long shot.

This or several other things could happen. Terrorist attack, Trump trade war, legalization of marijuana issues, are 3 other things off the top of my head that could cause issues for the liberals... we are in turbulent times and I'm not sure Justin will do as well when tested with a serious issue. A lot can happen in two years in this new fast paced world we live in.

The line has been drawn in the sand with the softwood lumber tariff.
Expect more on that front involving Canadian beef, pork, whatever exports.
O'Leary was the only cpc candidate with a snowballs chance of beating trudeau.
He was well known, popular and a financial guru.
Now he's out of the race and trudeau will be back in 2019.
You wanted bernier as leader and now you got him. Unfortunately not many non gun owners west of quebec agree with you.
Like the truism says "you have to be careful what you ask for".

Too bad harper went nuts to butts stubborn on pushing the nazi crap (c51 and suchlike) or he'd still be in.
He was the best pm we've had in a long time.
The economy was well on the way to recovery.
Now the national debt is ballooning out of all proportions to reality again.
The economy took a serious step backwards under trudeau.

If he fails to legalize marijuana, he's done. If he does it, we might be stuck with him for decades.

I don't know if Bernier can beat Justin in 2019, but he is Quebecois and that is a clear necessity to becoming the PM. O'Leary clearly had no chance of winning the next election b/c of Quebec. I agree with him on that...
Ugh, I despair about our nation's future with this incompetent twit as our PM + his band of regressive-leftists. Another term with him hiking our debt, hiking our taxes and fees, growing the size of govnt, etc will be truly disastrous. Not to mention the attack on our liberties. My daughter's future is looking more and more "indebted"...
Oh and then there's immigration. Did you hear about the Libs "streamlining" refugee applications? Yep, who needs security vetting for refugees from Pakistan, Syria and Eritrea? Only "racists" I suppose...

A lot of people including me are tired of the quebecois tail wagging the dog and would have expressed that opinion at the polls in 2019.
O'leary was from montreal but he wasn't a quebecois.
I wish o'leary had stuck to his guns so to speak and stayed in the race.
10 years under harper (a non quebecois pm) was refreshing.
Being a quebecois as a prerequisite to being pm?
No thanks.

Reality is reality. O'Leary doesn't speak French. Whether you or I like it or not, it has become quite clear that this is a prerequisite to becoming the PM and getting rid of the Liberals.
And I will correct myself: I should have said being a fluent French speaker is necessary...perhaps not being Quebecois.

I hope you're kidding. Being Quebecois in 2017 Canada is about like being black in 1960 USA. Second grade citizen with the same rights only on paper. If anything, being quebecois disqualifies Bernier in most elector's mind. Case in point: this thread.
There's gonna be a lot of gun owners voting against bernier because he is quebecois. A lot of people who would otherwise agree with him on policies will vote against him becuase "he's just another frog and we don't want another one". If you believe bernier can "deliver Quebec", you're gonna wake up the day after the elections with a huge headache. My prediction is that he will lose half the Quebec ridings that Harper got in 2015.
And FYI, even if the cons were to take all 40 ridings that are currently liberals, they'd still lose.
Bernier might be your favorite, but he's got a snowball's chance in hell.
From now , Bernier is the only way for the win .

See above. It starts with "And I will correct myself..."
Like being black in the 60's? Thanks for the laugh...
