John Robson: Baird has a bold plan to ... do what, exactly?

Concerned that the federal Tory leadership race might become a contest between one Red Tory retread insider from Eastern Canada, John Baird is pondering leaping into the fray. Bringing with him “true blue” beliefs that are, one gathers, firm but flexible.

Given generally dismal Tory results there, Quebec is one corner of the country where “I wish I had friends” isn’t the same as “I have friends” or “I have a plan to make friends.” So the plan would be? Still, let us clutch at straws. Whether he runs or not, how might this circle be squared? Baird added “I don’t think we win when we’re Liberal-lite. I think we need to be true blue.” Historically sound, from still-vaguely-Libertarian Harper to pink-slip-and-free-trade Mulroney , Diefenbaker’s barking High Tory and Bennett . But after they win, they govern as Liberal-lite, or heavy, and bomb.

Baird’s report to Andrew Scheer on the latter’s face-plant is confidential. But he told CTV “some of the social issues were definitely losers at the doorsteps.” Albatross! So does he agree with MacKay, setting the stage for a battle of titans over nothing?

To say he has a bold plan.

The old neverending Canadian game again 'voting another party to get rid of the one in power' because of a broken elections system. Well, Baird is likely the right candidate to remove Trudeau from the office, doesn't he? 😀

John Ivison: The Liberals have reached a crossroad with Alberta. What they do next could define themIf Frontier is turned down, someone is going to get the blame – and Kenney is worried it may be him Crossroads* In this age of environmental and climate concerns, I would hope that my government can think farther ahead that business. That's the job of governments, one they regularly fail at. Nothing the liberals do will be good enough for Alberta. The pettiness was on full display with the donut fiasco. Why should they even bother at this point?
