Bananapants

 

I think I have evidence that Leslyn Lewis follows this blog. Her response here to being accused of meeting with Christine Anderson is close to what I suggested ought to have been Pierre Poilievre's response to the charge when first raised.

What I suggested:

“Christine Anderson is a democratically elected representative of the German people. Not to entertain and to respect her shows contempt for the German people, our good friends and allies. It does not mean we agree with all her views. Cooperating with those with whom we sometimes disagree, on matters of agreement, is the lifeblood of democracy. It is the lifeblood of civil society. Much of the ill-will and suffering in Canada today is caused by a Prime Minister who refuses to even speak with those with whom he disagrees, who simply calls them names and slanders them, as ‘racists or ‘misogynists’ or ‘antisemites’ and the like. 

This man who danced around in blackface with his tongue out and a banana stuffed down his trousers.

We Conservatives do not want that kind of Canada, nor that kind of world. We respect people, the people of Germany and the people of Canada, and we welcome those who come here from abroad.”

Lewis Is In

 

Leslyn Lewis has entered the Conservative leadership race. I did not think she would, since she is fishing in the same pond as Pierre Poilievre, and he has a much better shot than she. But she adorns the race. She ran a strong third last time, coming from nowhere. Obviously an impressive campaigner.

Jean Charest is expected to declare tomorrow, and he is also an extremely impressive candidate. You could hardly get more highly qualified: former party leader, former cabinet minister, former deputy prime minister, former long-term premier of Quebec, fluently bilingual.

For the sake of a good race, I would also love to see Michael Chen come in.
