against hate and intolerance. I think maybe 20% of Canadians could be labeled as passively racist/intolerant. Maybe another 1 to 2 might be hostile/violent in objecting to refugees/immigrants. Just my gut feeling, but they are the minority.

Hopefully she gets very little traction. There are a number of bad seeds in the mix. Still a pretty large field of candidates. Michael Chong would definitely be my pick, but I'm not overly optimistic about his chances.

O'Leary, due to his celebrity status, is the front runner (although the lack of French is going to hinder him). Andrew Scheer has a lot of support among other politicians.

So coverage is bound to ramp up over the next couple of months. Hopefully some of the deadwood starts to clear out soon.

I may tune in out of curiosity.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
-Sun Tzu
