MRG says she spoke with Harper and it's not on. Now, the latest speculation has switched to CC. Also, some buzz that MRG herself is seriously considering it.
Clark would be an interesting addition to the race but she does come with risks -- à la political party financing. Clark has to seriously weigh that, as Charest did.
So, there are some natural political advantages to never having served as premier! MacKay must really appreciate that.
MRG would bring a spark to this race, provided she could resist going full-blown-preachy, a quality most recently resented, coming out of Scheer's mouth and before him, Harper. Ditto for Trudeau on the other side.
Right now, my candidate (MacKay) is off to a fine start. The Stellarton launch had great visuals and the speech was not only thoughtful but with a strong emphasis on party and national unity. MacKay's is a vision of a grand coalition of equals, across Canadian society. That's a message that will likely resonate and find wide appreciation in every part of Canada. Good on Peter.
