Hope for Canada?

 

I pity the UK its sad choice of prospective Conservative leaders. It feels like a tragedy that Boris Johnson, with his great political talents, so quickly flamed out. No argument; it was his own fault. He could not stay. But now the right has no one impressive to speak for them.

The US also has a problem. They have impressive figures on the right, notably Ron DeSantis, Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson, but Donald Trump dominates, and probably blocks anyone else from taking the nomination. Trump too is impressive, but also alienates a dangerous proportion of the electorate, and brings chaos in his wake, at a time when most Americans probably want competence and common sense to return.

By contrast, I feel we I Canada are suddenly, after a long drought, surprisingly lucky. We have Pierre Poilievre, Leslyn Lewis, and Maxime Bernier, all of whom seem both impressive and (relatively) honest.
