It will be interesting to see which way Canada turns. I hope they opt for security, sovereignty, and keeping Canada for Canadians rather than having it invaded by third-worlders.
I think the rash of Islamic illegals from the US have strengthened the hand of the nationalist wing.
Steven Blaney also has views of nationalism, but he’s overshadowed by Leitch and I expect he will drop to her for the second ballot (he’d likely get a top cabinet post under a future PM Leitch in 2019 if things go that way though).
How I would classify the candidates:
Compromise candidates: Andrew Scheer, Chris Alexander, Erin O’Toole
Libertarian: Maxime Bernier
Red Tories (think RINOs): Deepak Obhrai, Lisa Raitt, Michael Chong
Social conservatives: Brad Trost, Pierre Lemieux
Trump-ish nationalists: Kellie Leitch, Steven Blaney
Wildcard outsier: Kevin O’Leary
Fringe candidates: Andrew Saxton, Rick Peterson
