Honest? You'll need to look elsewhere if you want an honest leader. Proven track record? Not unless you consider a very late and over budget bridge in Barrhaven a success. It was delayed because he cancelled the Liberal planned bridge (whose idea it originally was to build) in order to put forward his own version. His politicking delayed the project a number of years and caused it to go over budget.
what do you base that on?
Worried much? That wouldn’t be democratic. Let’s do the whole thing properly and see who comes out at the end. It’s a long race for a reason.
I voted: Jean Charest
Electability will come into play at some point. The more extreme Poilievre becomes with his policy, and he's already out there, the more difficult it becomes for him to be a serious contender in a federal election. This is especially true if the Liberals elect a new leader.
