Conservative leadership debate hosted after many voters have already submitted their ballots! https://canadianriley.com/conservative-leadership-debate-hosted-after-many-voters-have-already-submitted-their-ballots/ https://canadianriley.com/conservative-leadership-debate-hosted-after-many-voters-have-already-submitted-their-ballots/?noamp=mobile#respond Fri, 22 Jul 2022 05:36:01 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=1527 Conservative members have been receiving their voting ballots in the mail for the last few weeks. Many voters have already submitted their votes in the mail.

Problem is, another Conservative leadership debate has suddenly been planned for August. So what options are there for voters that already submitted their votes in the mail in July!?

Pierre Poilievre’s campaign responded that will not be attending, risking a $50,000 fine.

Jenni Byrne, a senior member of Poilievre’s team, released a scathing statement on Twitter explaining his decision after the party announced earlier in the day it would proceed with a debate in early August.

Conservative party rules spell out candidates must participate in official leadership debates or face an “automatic $50,000 penalty.”

“Participation is mandatory and no substitution will be permitted,” according to the rules.

Poilievre’s campaign goes on to attack fellow leadership candidate Jean Charest’s repeated calls for a third debate, saying the ex−Quebec premier couldn’t draw the same crowd sizes as Poilievre during the spring when candidates were selling memberships to supporters.

“That is why he wants another debate — to use Pierre’s popularity with members to bring out an audience he can’t get on his own.”

In response, Charest’s campaign accused Poilievre of preferring to craft messages on social media “than answer questions in real time.”

“Jean has NEVER shied away from answering tough questions,” it reads, adding it felt the format of the French−language debate held in Laval, Que., was constructive.

Leslyn Lewis, a social conservative MP from Ontario who is also in the running, said party members had a chance to see leadership candidates present their visions for the country in the two earlier debates, which remain online.

“I am not sure what value we are giving to members through a hastily schedule debate at this time,” she said in a statement.

Like Poilievre, Lewis underscored it’s an important stage of the race for candidates to meet members and says she has a jam−packed schedule of events.

“I have found that the concerns of everyday Canadians vary greatly from the high−level political questions we get asked during official debates,” she said.

Leslyn Lewis Defends Canadian Farmers They Keep Getting Attacked by this Liberal Government https://canadianriley.com/leslyn-lewis-defends-canadian-farmers-they-keep-getting-attacked-by-this-liberal-government/ https://canadianriley.com/leslyn-lewis-defends-canadian-farmers-they-keep-getting-attacked-by-this-liberal-government/?noamp=mobile#respond Tue, 21 Jun 2022 02:36:06 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=719 The cost of living has gone up for all Canadians. But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.

Leslyn Lewis said in the House of Commons today that Canadian farmers keep getting attached by this Liberal Government. “Canadian farmers have been feeding us for generations. They deserve our things, but instead they keep getting attacked by this liberal government.”

Watch the reporter’s face when she is corrected. Dr. Leslyn Lewis stands up for Canadian sovereignty against a state broadcaster (CBC) host who claims by signing the legally binding WHO Pandemic Treaty we’re not surrendering our rights to healthcare: “just a potential theory, it’s not born out of any fact”.

CBC reporter is unaware that WHO meetings have already begun when Lewis responds “I’m sounding the alarm. I’m letting people know exactly that there is a treaty that could potentially affect our health care sovereignty. Canada needs its own pandemic plan. We meet we have one for SARS, and we need to put one in place for future pandemics. We need to plan the stages of and how we’re going to react, the types of medication that will be approved. So all of those things need to be done by our our country, which cannot relinquish that responsibility to a global organizations like the WHO.”
