What’s most fascinating about this election is the contrast between a decent, mature and serious leader like O’Toole and the “boys” who now head the Liberal and NDP parties.

This “Recovery Plan” is not dumbed down. This is not platitudes. This is not screed or scripture, nor immoderate in any way. This is not talking points written out by consultants in block letters. It’s detailed and complete....

What’s also unique about this “launch” is that it is the approach taken by a man who served in the military and understands that both superiors and men under command require and appreciate carefully drawn plans based on meeting shared goals.

Yes conservative voting but not really conservative in ideology. Not as it once was. I just believe Canada is more liberal than it has ever been.
