Kellie Leitch: Reality Tv and Leadership Race

kellie leitch: One of them is Kevin O'Leary, the celebrity businessman who was compared to Donald Trump when he started musing about joining the Conservative leadership race earlier this year, according to The Waterloo Record. On Monday, O'Leary was highly critical of Kellie Leitch for proposing a Canadian values test for potential immigrants and refugees. "I'm writing her off," O'Leary said Monday in an interview with The Canadian Press. "That is totally un-Canadian. The decision by Mac Kay now makes it possible for others who were waiting for his choice to prepare in earnest for their own potential bids. That is not how we work. His brash style, self-professed love for making money and appearances on reality TV drew comparisons to the U.S. Republican presidential nominee when O'Leary started grabbing headlines earlier this year by trashing the economic record of Alberta NDP Premier Rachel Notley, then saying he would like to become a Conservative prime minister and run government like a business. I wouldn't be here if that kind of mandate existed," said O'Leary, who is of Lebanese-Irish origin. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
