    Just read over his policies. There's not a lot of stuff there that I can disagree with. He seems like about as close to libertarian as we're going to find in a candidate with an actual chance of winning. I happily sent him a donation.

    Well, I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed, but this is the first time in my 42 years of life that I've felt the need to join a political party --- 5 year membership purchased and I'm going to try to get more active on that front. Thanks for the heads up, Farmboy!

    Yes. I've come to the conclusion that Bernier is my choice too, for a number of reasons.

    I wonder how electable he is in Quebec btw? If he was the head of the party?

    I've been on Mad Max's train since the get-go. His fiscal and social policies are genuine conservative, and I hope his francophone roots will resonate in La Belle Province.

    I'd love to see the Prohibited classes struck down, but I don't see us ever getting those sorts of reforms. I think his plans are sound, and would like to push for property rights going forward.

    Need to make sure we don't get saddled with O'Leary or one of the other Red Tory candidates out there...

    First time I've ever contributed to a campaign and this email got me to join the CPC again. He's the right guy for the job, no question. My only concern is this, is he TOO right for the average undecided canadian? Not sure. I like him though.

    Agreed, I was already leaning that way but this has decided it completely.

    This is the first time I've joined a political party but I think its time we all stand up.
