    Agreed. No chance in hell that the masses would vote him in over a liberal candidate.

    If you expect to find a BETTER candidate, who specifically has very generous views on gun ownership/control (Because thats what really matters here, it is a gun forum after all) then please, tell us who's the best chance at winning an election. Because if they can't win an election then their are as useless to us as Jack Layton was to the NDP last election.



    Last time I checked, job numbers weren't going down in this country. You need to lay off the....... Whatever the #### trump supporters are huffing, because you sound as stupid as one of them. Next up, alternative facts, and some bitching about voter fraud...
    Job numbers aren't going down? Full time positions being replaced with part time service and temp work. Also the main bitching about voter fraud was done by the Democrats after Trump won.

    I was referring to his Facebook posts about it being unfair to the West.

    His posts on Corporate Welfare and equalization are so hypocritical - he is trashing the Liberals for supporting Bombardier and his govt bailed out the auto sector.

    This man lies and will say anything to get your money and vote.

    The best Conservative MP running is Michael Chong - too bad he isn't going to win.

    Is it so odd that a politician would recognize that equalization could do more harm than good to his own province?

    I can't believe I haven't looked into Maxime's platform yet. I've always been a staunch libertarian and had to live with the fact that my preferred party can't seem to pull it together. Maxime's platform is quite amazing. He had me at "decentralizing and shrinking government"

    This is the first candidate I've seen put words around shrinking government.

    He wasn't running the party then.
    Please note, my opinion could be biased based on past and present employment

    Bernier would be an excellent choice.

    He has my vote. Hope he can beat out O'Leary though.. name recognition is huge in this race.
