So the leadership race for the federal Conservative party is still going with a wide breadth of all the vaguely memorable and adequately dressed candidates that this country has to offer. While Kelly Leitch wasn’t at the last debate due to a possible break-in (which isn’t funny or deserved at all), she has gained notoriety for her pandering to “old stock” or “everyday” Canadians in a Trump-style approach. Perhaps her most famous policy proposal has been that immigrants should be screened for anti-Canadian values. Now the stickler is she hasn’t gotten very specific or provided any sort of draft, but the sentiments are there and easily understood. I mean, there are fundamental things that make Canadians ***Canadian. Regardless of our ethnicity, background, race, or class there are common standards that people across this great land all share — a smug and self-righteous sense of superiority to other Western nations disguised under a neighbourly and humble veneer, a love / hate relationship with an oversaturated coffee shop, and a grumbling resentment of Quebec. See, it wasn’t that hard at all. Kelly, if you’re reading this my lawyer says I’m technically a policy advisor. I invoice by email.
