Summary
Aaron O'Toole was always a liberal. He was a liberal even when he was the Conservative Party Leader between 2020 and 2022. But for some reason, a gaggle of conservative networkers on social media are saying it's purity testing to say that O'sofle is a liberal, and that's why he's losing.

Hey guys, Wyatt here. I don't want to break anyone's heart by saying this, but former
00:00:05.720
Conservative Party leader Aaron O'Toole is a liberal. And he was a liberal even back
00:00:11.340
when he was the Conservative Party leader between 2020 and 2022. But for some reason,
00:00:17.820
there is a gaggle of conservative networkers on social media who are saying that it's purity
00:00:23.220
testing to say that Aaron O'Toole is a liberal. Well, these people are looking mighty silly today

00:00:29.800
after last afternoon an article came out from Global News
0.66
00:00:34.320
where Aaron O'Toole said that Pierre Polyev needs to moderate his positions,
00:00:42.560
No, that's not going to help Pierre Polyev win.
00:00:45.620
In fact, do you know how we know this would not help Pierre Polyev beat Mark Carney?
00:00:52.620
He tried it against the extremely unpopular Justin Trudeau in the 2021 election,
00:00:59.800
Yes, he won the popular vote, but he only got like 34% of the popular vote.
00:01:11.380
but it turns out people didn't want to replace Justin Trudeau with Justin Trudeau-lite.
00:01:16.560
They actually want someone who's going to propose bold change.
00:01:23.380
not because he was too hard on the culture war issues.
00:01:26.480
Pierre Polyev did quite well in 2025, and he fell short of winning.
00:01:30.360
I believe the gap between where he is and winning was him not having bold enough policies
00:01:38.520
If he ran on a massive tax cut, I think he would have won.
00:01:41.380
On other policies like immigration, if he ran on bigger reductions, I think he could
00:01:46.720
There are many other areas I think he needed to go harder, but the idea that somehow he's
00:01:52.100
too strong on culture war issues or he emphasizes them too much and that's why he's losing is
00:01:57.160
ludicrous and anyone saying that oh my goodness you're purity testing Aaron O'Toole by saying
00:02:01.740
he's a liberal they're delusional he's a liberal he was always a liberal he betrayed the base
00:02:06.820
constantly as leader he said he was going to get rid of the carbon tax and then replaced
00:02:10.460
his promise to get rid of the carbon tax with his own carbon tax where you didn't even get a rebate
00:02:15.100
you had to spend it up with your O'Toole bucks on like solar panels and whatnot he said he was
00:02:20.100
going to get rid of the firearms ban and then he reversed his position on that later it was his

00:02:25.600
strategy was asinine and people like fred delori trying to give peer poly of advice on cbc's power

00:02:32.160
and politics when he was erin o'toole's campaign manager in 2021 is also silly was fred delori
0.93
00:02:39.100
good at one point sure probably was fred delori when he's campaign manager is not as good as fred
00:02:45.660
Deloria is just communications director. Maybe he has a gift for communications. But is the guy
00:02:50.780
helping set the policy as well? No. Aaron O'Toole is a liberal. I'm not sure what Fred Deloria is,
