Interesting juxtaposition. Do they go with a total newcomer or an old hand who seems to put personal ambition above policy and party. The old hand probably seems to many, like "one of us" and thus a more likely winner. The problem is, will we get more Liberal light in Conservative wool if he does get in. If I were a CPC member I would opt for the newcomer, other things being equal. Traditional politics have run Canada into the ground over the decades to the point where the US president elect can troll the country and mock its pretensions to independence publicly.

That sad fact, that no one wants to face, is that Canada has been a colony nearly all of its history - first French, then British, then American or Anglo-American. Our main stream political parties along with the permanent state have been the local administrators of one empire or another. Trump just called attention the fact. ;-)

No. He is running again in 2025. This contest is to choose who will represent the Conservatives locally.

Further to this issue of Canada's independence, it worth noting that almost all the political parties, both main stream and opposition talk much about foreign policy. About the only thing mentioned here is our allegiance to our allies (masters). And hardly anyone seems to think that this is a bit strange. Definitely the mark of colonial mentality.

They never mention the actual party and it's growth overcoming. Sovereign Independent Peoples Party those who no longer fund follow or fuel the disfunctional redundant criminal parties currently fighting to rule a foriegn fallen country about to fall some more. Sometimes fixing ourselves fixes everything. Do better on your own and you will get there better of their sickness that creates you.
