Everything I hear about this guy, since he left the leadership, makes me really regret that the party didn't give him more of a shot. I think we could have done far worse than him as PM.
Judging him based on his personal opinions when he's permitted them do NOT give an impression as to how he'd be as a PM for the precise reason he was so different and so party-line while leading the federal Blues: if he wasn't permitted an opinion as a leader, he wouldn't be permitted an opinion as a PM.
The same, tired, pro-oil, anti-Canadian, republican shit we got when he led the party then, would have been the theme of him representing his party in the PM spot.
Ultimately the blues don't care whom their mouthpiece is, as long as he can say the lines while serving, and scapegoat out when the chickens come home to roost. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Agreed. He seemed pretty middle of the road.
It's too bad the Conservatives ousted him. It seems like folks who did him in are pretty far from mainstream Canada, but maybe Poilievre&co are more of what Canadians want right now.
As long as Poilievre is in charge the Conservatives will never gain power. Farther right is not how you win.
