No time for Erin O'Toole's 'culture war' surrender
Watch the latest Without Diminishment roundtable.
Why does it only count as a “culture war” when conservatives fight back?
In this latest Without Diminishment roundtable, host Alexander Brown, and guests Kate Marland, Cole Hogan, and Margareta Dovgal, dismantle Erin O’Toole’s latest advice that conservatives should moderate their positions, ignore culture war issues, and focus only on the safety of “long-term prosperity” to take on Mark Carney’s supposed centrism.
The panel explains exactly why this strategy is a proven loser, what O’Toole’s own record actually delivered, and where “go along to get along” moderation has already taken Canada — from Ontario’s failing status quo to the latest federal push for a ‘sovereign wealth fund’ built on more debt and greater centralized control over Alberta’s resources.
Now is the worst possible time for conservatives, for any on the non-left, to abandon the cultural battlefield. Abdicating the fight does not make it disappear — it simply hands more ground to the other side.
The culture war matters. Surrendering it has consequences. Watch now.

I don’t really care about culture wars, or values. I support gay marriage, multiculturalism and the women’s right to abortion right along with accountability, fiscal responsibility, and leadership based on one’s proven track record of being knowledgeable and knowing how to lead. So based on those principles, what does that make me? I’m more interested in kicking out those who have irreparably harmed Canadians during their time in Office (helloooo British Columbia), than I am in preserving this nonsense about "culture “. This is such a distraction. And this type of discussion does little to appease the hoards of young people fleeing this country because our leaders have turned their backs on them. Our forefathers would be disgusted with all of us. When you have a tone deaf Federal Government which spends 4 times of its budget on Boomers+ than on young people, maybe focus on that, rather than on this bullshit narrative about preserving whatever it is that’s dividing us into oblivion. It’s just so boring. Do better.
