I'm torn. I can definitely see this possibility, but I could also see it taking some of the steam out of the "Tories are extremists" Liberal attack. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:54 4
- I'd just use the line "this guy was almost the leader of your party Andrew" -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:55 3
  - yeah, that wouldn't work (exactly what NWBR is saying below!) -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 10:59
  - "But he isn't. In fact, he found his current beliefs didn't have a home in the party and left." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:57 1
    - Fair and valid if trying to pain Sheer/Tories as extreme right. But putting him on stage says - to the extreme right - "Here's the guy you want!" -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 11:21
yup, especially in Quebec where I think they were hoping for inroads there -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:53 3
- How do you figure? Bernier isn't exactly beloved in his native province? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:54 2
  - huh, I figured he'd be most popular there -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:55 1
    - Nope. His vein of staunch separation of powers and reduced government intervention makes him very polarizing and somewhat marginalized. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:59
