Please listen to the entire interview. As maddening as you will find it, to hear EO'T twist the facts - there is appropriate pushback from CBC's Jayme Poisson.

btw, I happen to think it's important to hear what he has to say, bec it will help to know what spin the CPC are planning to use during the next fed elexn. It's good to know what he's saying, so that we can dispute the misleading narrative(s) 🤷♀️

Bill C-10 segment cont'd:
CBC's Jayme Poisson asks: "Why not just fix this one part of the bill you don't like?"
O'Toole says "You can protect our culture w/o eroding people’s freedoms on the internet."
- & accuses Heritage Min of changing his mind, doesn't answer the Q

"We knew that vaccines weren't going to be here until late Spring, so don't these premiers have a great amt of responsibility for what is happening within their provinces - Dough Ford & Jason Kenney?"

O'Toole makes it sound like the only reason Ont and AB in trouble is bec of lack of steady vaccines in Jan and Feb. He ignores mentioning any other health measures that were/are needed, mentions UK & US vaccines. He will NOT attribute ANY responsibility to Ford and/or Kenney

Poisson pushes O'Toole to answer her repeated question of whether he'll campaign with Ford and Kenney. Sounds like he will, but he's somewhat evasive. Doesn't definitively answer, but also doesn't seem to rule it out.

Poisson asks what did he (O'Toole) say to Jansen about it. O'Toole calls it an academic debate. He tries to pivot by mentioning that she wasn't the only one who quoted the bible.
CBC's Poisson: "I think for many listening that wasn’t an academic debate, that was hurtful"

CBC's Jayme Poisson continue with her question to Mr. O'Toole on Sloan as follows, and I quote: "did you not call him out sooner, because you needed the social conservatives to vote for you to become leader?"

(this segment is where I commented at the top of this thread)
O'Toole "Well I take everyone at their word. If they say - no, that's not what I meant"
Jayme "well, what did he mean then?"
O'Toole pivots to saying there was a pattern of behaviour from Sloan.

CBC's Jayme Poisson asks Erin O'Toole repeatedly what did he think Derek Sloan meant. She asks: "what do you think he meant when he questioned her working for Canada or China? How did YOU take it?"
He never really answers.

*to clarify - he mentions that he ran as a leader who is pro-choice, in the midst of explaining why Sloan was ousted by the caucus. See the top of my thread, which includes links to articles questioning how pro-choice he really is.

O'Toole concludes w "We don't need leadership by photo-op or press release."
- anyone-else think this makes O'Toole seem out of touch. After all, that was specifically during the 2015 campaign. Not how PMJT governs, IMO

Regarding tweet 15/
I missed a couple of words* in CBC’s Jayme Poisson’s response to Erin O’Toole’s calling CPC MP Tamara Jansen's comments in the HoC “academic.”
Jayme Poisson said: “I think for many *people listening, that wasn’t an academic debate, that was *very hurtful.”

Regarding tweet 6/
- should have had added info read: (CPC don't like section of proposed Bill C-10, regulating "user generated content on the internet"), w/o specifically mentioning web giants
- & why won't they propose fixes, rather than campaign on appealing it, if it passes?
