Conservative Deja Vu
The Conservative party has done it again. They have chosen a leader who is unknown while spurning the more politically attractive candidate. They did this in 1979 with Joe Clark. We all know how that turned out.
The Liberals did it twice with Dion and Ignatieff. We all know how that worked out.
Canada has generally been governed from the left-centre to the centre historically. The choice of a leader farther to the right may not have been the best direction.
Scheer has been described as Harper with a smile. His choice can only be good news for the Liberals.
