I don’t think the Conservatives want to lose this riding. I think Dr Leitch would have an excellent chance. But, there are a couple of other local conservative party members who could do very well, including the current Alliston mayor, Mike MacEacheron.

With the budget vote ahead of the House, there is a real chance of an election sooner rather than later. Helena has nothing to fall back on, she is a former gift shop owner, (and look how well her husband has transitioned from politics to the real world). So of course she doesn’t want to get out of politics.

Such as Dr Kellie Leitch?

She is a poorly performing minister with a huge sense of self entitlement. The latest news is how she and Rahim laugh their heads off at all the funny things written in the media about them. I don’t think it’s funny to live in a riding that is the laughingstock of Ontario. Yesterday she decided to announce that for the past two months she hasn’t done any work (chosing to holiday in the Dominican, have her teeth fixed, and get her hair done for her appearance on the National- those highlights would have taken the better part of an entire day- whew, she works so hard for us!) because her doctor has ordered her to take it easy. Why this announcement all of a sudden? Because it’s clear the woman doesn’t do anything except in her own self interest. With the public eye upon her, her continued underperformance is showing. Imagine what she does when people aren’t watching! Let’s see, there’s giving the same badly written speech over and over again, or screwing up. It is also clear that she is just making this up as she goes along, which is not the first time that that’s happened.

To review a few items….at first, her husband never used her office, then he did, but only to store stuff. Then he never used her parliamentary emal address but then he did, but so what, it’s not like he got any benefit from it.

She assured herself that she could write a letter on behalf of Wright Tech industries because neither her or her family would profit in any way, but then she said on The National that she has no idea of her husband’s business dealings. But she knows with certainty that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. But when people in your family hurt you you don’t abandon them.

Bring on an election….this woman needs a serious wake up call. I don’t see the Conservatives lying down and letting her have this riding without a serious challenge. Sure, the riding association here has many of her supporters (read: family and friends and people who are thick as two bricks) but I think she’s finished in politics.
