Leadership Candidates: Leadership and Party Base

leadership candidates: We're not quite that bad in Canada, according to The Chronicle Herald. But there no election in sight and won't be for a while. That what happening in the U.S. presidential campaign, where a preening braggart has told so many lies that he now gets praise for telling lies that are somewhat less untruthful than the lies he told before. But there are leadership campaigns in the Conservative Party and NDP. And like any family fight, leadership contests can sometimes do damage that takes years to repair. The progressive conservatives, kept in the shade under Stephen Harper, will favour leadership candidates who might broaden the party base of support. In the Conservative Party, which will choose its new leader next May, tensions are emerging on the boundaries between progressive conservatives, social conservatives and the party endemic Trumpist fringe.
