It's finally official: Kevin O'Leary will run to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

After months of flirting with the idea, he picked the morning after the French leadership debate and used a video on his Facebook page to declare his candidacy.

I always figured he leaned Conservative, from what he says, I bet he is something of a libertarian.

Does “conservative” in Canada equate to conservative here?

Can’t wait for the time he’ll be able to say to Trudeau, “You’re dead to me.”

Heh, but Kevin calls ‘em like he sees ‘em! :-) In today’s world, that can be refreshing. I mean, can it be any worse?
