Reality-Tv Star: Unilingual Businessman and Right Stuff

reality-tv star: The fact that he currently commands first or second place in the contest, depending on which poll you trust, and that so many Conservatives believe he has the right stuff to take on Justin Trudeau's Liberals should worry the country as much as the party, according to Hamilton Spectator. What are the Tories thinking With the election of a new leader at their May 27 convention, the Conservatives will be choosing the face of their party and its direction heading into the 2019 federal election. An abrasive, unilingual businessman turned reality-TV star who spends most of his time in the United States, has never held public office and is more of a gung-ho capitalist than a committed political conservative, O'Leary is completely unqualified for the job. The prerequisites for this position demand someone who can pitch a big tent with a welcome sign on it. That leader must also be a match for a prime minister who, at this point at least, is hugely popular. The next Conservative leader should be eager to reach across geographic, linguistic, ethnic and cultural divides and bring together Canadians of all backgrounds in an inclusive, forward-looking political movement.
