Are Canada's Conservatives on the brink of collapse?

Conservatives split on whether convoy protest should stay or vacate Parliament Hill

Other Tories have stressed the need to uphold law and order, which is a value generally endorsed by Conservative supporters.

“It is time for the protesters to end the blockade in Ottawa,” Ontario MP Michael Chong told the House of Commons during an emergency debate on the matter late Monday.

“Canadians do not have the right to harm other people or to interfere with the freedoms of their fellow citizens.”

Calgary MP Greg McLean said earlier in the week on social media that he too feels the “Ottawa blockades” must end. He also wrote that he didn’t intend to minimize the situation in a previous statement where he compared it to a winter carnival.

Since the convoy rolled into town two weeks ago, the Conservatives have begun searching for a new leader. Erin O’Toole, who struggled to articulate a clear position on the protest in one of his last acts as leader, was ousted by fellow MPs last week in a vote of 73 to 45.

IMHO, no imminent collapse, but the Cons look seriously fractured. Yay, vote splitting!

1. Meanwhile, the PPC, which holds no seats in Parliament, is effectively running Canada. Nt

5. Nonsense. Please don't be ridiculous in trying to overuse hyperbole. . . nt

2. Anything that splits the Cons has my vote...

both federally and provincially. Alberta's next election is next year and Con Kenny's poll numbers are in the toilet and this is a very Conservative province with the exception of a 'left' oasis called Edmonton.

If an election were called here today, the NDP would win handily.

Here's the latest poll I could find from Alberta:

4. Your thesis has substance whereas the other "brink of collapse" thesis has none. . . . nt
