‘Lock Her Up’
Steven Blaney, who has called for restrictions on certain Muslim face coverings, and Brad Trost, who has made his own “lock her up” calls in reference to a female Canadian politician, are also evoking Trump.
Maxime Bernier, a libertarian pledging major policy overhauls who once resigned as foreign minister after leaving classified documents with his then-girlfriend, has criticized Leitch as a “karaoke version of Donald Trump.” Bernier -- targeted in Tuesday’s debate by Leitch, in a signal that he is a front-runner -- is among those who have steered clear of a Trump message. Others include former House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer, and former Harper cabinet ministers Erin O’Toole and Lisa Raitt.
Raitt has already emerged as O’Leary’s biggest critic. She has launched a StopKevinOLeary.com website to derail him, arguing “his past comments will keep Justin Trudeau in power.”
