ER Editor: Is globalist O’Toole merely the first head to roll because of the truckers? Will there be others?
********
On Day 11 of the #TruckersforFreedom Convoy, Erin O’Toole was ousted as CPC leader, Candice Bergen assumed interim leadership and the Ottawa Police considered calling in the military on peaceful, unarmed protestors.@Harry__Faulkner reports. #cdnpoli https://t.co/5hn6BCK7tJ

The premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney, a liberal masking as a conservative, who drew ire in the province over his hypocritical handling of the health mandates, might be facing the same problem as O’Toole according to Ezra Levant of Rebel News:
I’m told that Jason Kenney asked his angry MLAs to delay their announcement of the deal with the truckers, so that Kenney could announce it first, and not seen to be giving in to their demands.
That suggests he was about to be given the Erin O’Toole treatment.

Kenney may meet his fate over the problem at the Alberta / Montana border, where towing companies are refusing to comply with government orders to remove trucks. See this additional article from LifeSite News:

Clearly the trucker movement is beginning to shift the political landscape.

Canadian Conservatives oust leader O’Toole amid trucker protests
KENNEDY HALL for LIFESITE NEWS
Rumors had circulated that members of the CPC caucus were fed up with O’Toole after he has routinely embraced socially leftist ideals such as carbon taxes, abortion, and the destruction of the traditional family.

Rumors had circulated that members of the CPC caucus were fed up with O’Toole after he has routinely embraced socially leftist ideals such as carbon taxes, abortion, and the destruction of the traditional family.
On Monday, Bob Benzen, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Calgary Heritage, released a statement calling for a leadership review by the CPC caucus of Erin O’Toole.
“Mr. O’Toole campaigned in the leadership contest as a principled conservative voice that would unite the party. However, since Mr. O’Toole assumed the position of Leader, there have been numerous instances of flip-flops and questionable judgement on Mr. O’Toole’s part,” he wrote.
Today, I am calling for a caucus review of Erin O’Toole’s leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. See my full statement below. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/U8ssOMLfl8

Benzen concluded his statement by saying:
“I feel that the Conservative caucus has given Mr. O’Toole more than enough chances for a course correction to resolve the concerns of many of the grassroots members of our party. In consideration of Mr. O’Toole’s record as Leader, I believe a caucus leadership review is the only way to avoid a dangerous split in the Conservative Party that may not be repairable.”
Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) National President Jeff Gunnarson reacted to the news by saying,
“O’Toole has time and again betrayed the party’s socially conservative base with his support for abortion, LGBT ideology, oppressive lockdowns, and liberty-destroying passports for abortion-tainted vaccines. It’s about time this fake conservative was given the boot.”
Initially, O’Toole was skeptical about the Freedom Convoy movement, but after some of his MPs came out in favor, and after it was clear that the movement had overwhelming support across Canada, he reluctantly stated his support for the movement.
At that point, it was too late for some, as national conservative media had already pointed out that O’Toole’s leadership style had left the CPC divided.
Adam Zivo wrote in the National Post:
“Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole tried to be everything to everyone and in the process turned off a lot of people within his own party. Now his caucus is revolting against him … O’Toole only has himself to blame, as his leadership style has been lacklustre and unnecessarily divisive.”
Three days ago, O’Toole tweeted, “I’m not going anywhere,” only to be ousted days later.
Conservative pundit Keean Bexte responded to the news by tweeting, “HONK HONK HONK HONK…” in reference to the pressure of the Freedom Convoy on parliamentary politics.
