But each would encourage a bigger tent Conservative Party than was possible under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who came to politics through the hard-bitten Reform Party. They are former cabinet ministers, including the impressive Michael Chong, Lisa Raitt and Erin O'Toole, as well as Andrew Scheer, a former speaker of the House of Commons. Still, it's quite possible that none among these candidates will ever win. Rather than acknowledging their lack of knowledge, they simply flaunt it.
