globepolitics She’d better and same with McKay. It’s not ok to run for the top job and then bail because you don’t like helping Canadians as a lowly MP or cabinet minister.
In the age of empty, emotion driven “identity politics” this is a good idea as she will be harder for CBC and CTV to demonize her...bonus is she is educated and bright..!!!!
She seemed to be the weakest in debates by far, constantly stumbling and stuttering and looking down at her paper trying to formulate a thought. I thought O’Toole deserved this win.
Good idea.
Not a leader in my town.... she will always use racism til its coming out of my ass...
I'm impressed by this young lady
I wish her well
That was easy to predict. A black woman doesn't stand a chance in the Conservative party.
Good job Madam 👍
Get day in Canada because of it.
Nothing in your article indicates her intent to run in the next election. Nothing.
