Politics? Unfortunately he's too old to do much else. Cancel culture culled the Cherry. <br /><br />Of course the irony is lost on the woke crowd who miss the whole point that Canadians fought and died for the very freedom of speech that has now been effectively killed off in the name of inclusion. <br /><br />Sad and infuriating.

He'd make a better leader for the PPC than Max Bernier, frankly. And definitely he'd be a better party leader than Andrew Scheer is of the Tories.Will S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02714519301979594160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977100651062963844.post-82093469112193897272019-11-11T06:07:05.487-06:002019-11-11T06:07:05.487-06:00Nobody has ever won an election on fiscal conserva...<i> Nobody has ever won an election on fiscal conservatism alone. It has to be packaged with other, more appealing, policies. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were no exceptions to this rule.</i><br /><br />I don't know why social conservatives are so afraid to press hard for debates on abortion, same-sex marriage, and immigration. It's not as though all Canadians or even a significant portion of the population is on the same page on any of these files. The left and its media minions say they are slam dunk done deals, but since there has never been an open discussion with the general public, who knows? Many people have simply acquiesced because of the impotence and silence of our elected representatives to talk about anything our talking heads say is "divisive" or "controversial."<br /><br />One has to ask why killing babies, sterile sexuality, and dilution and balkanization of our local neighbourhoods are by default unifying and irrefutable propositions?<br /><br />The left is scared silly of opening these debates b/c they know these so-called gains are tenuous at best and vulnerable to the vagaries of public opinion. Each yielding is a power grab and reinforces the means by which to quiet dissent next time.<br /><br />What is needed is a conservative leader who will challenge the Wizard of Oz and expose the smoke and mirrors. Like you, my quibble with dimples is not that he is devoid of social conservative values. It's that he's behaving like a shih tzu when a pit bull fighter is required.Thomas Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162413436187942775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977100651062963844.post-84863411441770223122019-11-08T19:43:22.819-06:002019-11-08T19:43:22.819-06:00An interesting hypothesis but, in the end, it is s...An interesting hypothesis but, in the end, it is simply your opinion.
