Supporters Two-Thirds: Leitch and Canadian Values

supporters two-thirds: Eighty-seven percent of Conservatives polled support this "common-sense approach," Leitch said Tuesday, citing a recent poll by Forum Research, according to Huffington Post Canada. Kellie Leitch speaks in the House of Commons on Oct. 21, 2013. "While the elites and most media harshly criticized even the mention of the discussion, you knew better," she wrote. In a second fundraising email since she announced her policy, Leitch told her supporters two-thirds of Canadians agree with her. Canadians should "not shy away" from their Canadian values, she told supporters and Conservative party members. "We should be proud to talk about these values," she said. "And I want to keep these types of important conversations going. What more, the senator added, Leitch, as a former cabinet minister charged with the status of women portfolio, should be more concerned about poverty, day care and policies that impact women rather than this values business. "What on earth is she talking about, does she even know what Canadian values are " Ruth suggested Leitch is being tactical and that her polling data is likely very clear. "There are probably those who would like that, you know it 'not in my backyard' stuff, 'I only want people like me.' Well, that not the way the world is, and it ungenerous of Canada, it bad for the economy, it great that there has been a protest within the party about it. But in order to keep talking, she said, her campaign needs more money. "This leadership contest has nine months to go, and we need resources to make that happen." Leitch asked for a tax-receiptable donation or help with making phone calls, selling memberships or campaigning on social media. "Together we will stand up to those who don't want to discuss Canadian values and whose politically correct elitism remains tone deaf to the views of most Canadians." "Together we will stand up to those who don't want to discuss Canadian values and whose politically correct elitism remains tone deaf to the views of most Canadians," she wrote. "With your support, we'll bring the voice of hardworking Canadians back to Parliament Hill." Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth told The Huffington Post Canada that Canadian values are ever-moving. "Nothing is ever stable in Canada, new generations, people from different countries bring different values all the time, it is one of the most wonderful gifts Canada has and to try to define it is ridiculous," she said.
