"Thankfully, the Liberals are now reversing their politically expedient position from the 2015 election to “never buy the F-35, because it doesn’t work, will never work, is too expensive and is not what the RCAF wants.” Those words, spoken by Justin Trudeau, have all been proven false and the inevitable decision to make the same choice as 17 other countries is welcome, but at what cost?"

The leading candidates to replace Erin O'Toole, should he lose his job

A useful article. Unfortunately it repeats the myth that #PeterMacKay was a Red Tory. In fact, he was a Blue, on the right of the old #PCParty. Pro-choice, but tough on crime, a hawk on foreign affairs, in favour of cutting government spending to balance the books.

I liked him 20 years ago, but I do not trust his judgement after the deal with #DavidOrchard .

That's right! One of the fun twists of the election is that there's an anti-Trudeau book coming out in the final weeks.

I seem to recall #PeterMacKay saying that that the sort of pressure #JodyWilsonRaybould was subjected to was reason to call in the RCMP.
