    Traitor and hypocrite what a snake flipped on everything he stood for when he took the leadership role



  2. Drew on November 12, 2021 at 8:14 pm

    His names Toole for a reason



  3. Rusty Rick on November 12, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    They banned nothing, people are allowed to keep those firearms so non-firearm owners you are being stumped full on. Just a show, enjoy!



  4. pewpew on November 12, 2021 at 8:18 pm

    This gun ban does nothing to protect Canadians. Criminals don’t care about gun laws and not a single legally acquired ar-15 or 50 cal rifle has ever been used in a mass shooting in Canada. Use your brain people.



  5. JIGGYMOTO on November 12, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    Thanks for clearing that up, bye. I thought you were the guy for me, turns out you’re not.



  6. dee bee on November 12, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    O’Tool you are a looser. Going from door to door asking people to vote Conservative.



  19. Yvonne Rediger - Canada on November 12, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    Pierre Poilievre should be leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.



  20. Relax Good on November 12, 2021 at 8:47 pm

    I trust the Conservative Party the least out of all the political parties.



  21. Reg Aubade on November 12, 2021 at 8:49 pm

    Everyone is a traitor. It’s disgusting.



  22. The Flat Rock on November 12, 2021 at 8:49 pm

    Tool is advised by children in their 20’s, early 30’s.



  23. Anmol Singh on November 12, 2021 at 8:49 pm

    Good, we dont need guns in Canada anymore. Hunting is thing of past.

  32. Quang Nguyen on November 12, 2021 at 8:58 pm

    Just for curious, I am not a Canadian but why do people in Prairies always vote for Conservatives?



  33. John H on November 12, 2021 at 9:00 pm

    He could have won if he would have had some cajones



  34. Bud Ponders on November 12, 2021 at 9:00 pm

  35. Franklin Fleming on November 12, 2021 at 9:01 pm

  39. jim on November 12, 2021 at 9:04 pm

    We all know when they make a new law the criminals will not break that new law. Just like politicians telling the truth.



  40. Jeff Zamos on November 12, 2021 at 9:05 pm

    and just like that the PPC got hundreds of more voters. I always knew you were a pancake O’Toole



  41. EastAfrican on November 12, 2021 at 9:06 pm

  46. Michael Kelly on November 12, 2021 at 9:09 pm

    Well I’ll be reversing my vote for the Conservatives. Trying to please everyone to please no one



  47. Sperg Nation on November 12, 2021 at 9:10 pm

    Any vote other than PPC is treason.



  48. Michael Kelly on November 12, 2021 at 9:11 pm

  49. J Crews on November 12, 2021 at 9:11 pm

    I’m so glad I live in America. Where there are millions that would be willing to escalate forcefully against a ban like canadas.



  50. Mike C on November 12, 2021 at 9:13 pm
