This week two British Columbian's entered the race for Conservative Party leader, bringing the number of registered and declared candidates to thirteen, dropping from fourteen after Tony Clement reconsidered his bid and withdrew.
Thirteen is an awfully busy race and I think for even the most passionate and dedicated members of the party it will become increasingly difficult to see any clear differentiation between so many candidates.
The two British Columbians who declared this week are Andrew Saxton, the MP for North Vancouver from 2008 until 2015 and Venture capitalist Rick Petersen.
Watch as I provide some background on these candidates and also look at a few others in the field who stand out and would be considered front-runners.
Time will tell what happens before the May 27th election day but stay tuned to The Rebel for updates in what will be an exciting race.
Will a real conservative candidate please stand up.
I just don’t want a pretend Conservative. All the liberal lights can sit down right now.
I need to be able to scratch off climate change, mass immigration from Islamic countries and China, strong borders, smaller government, less nanny state interference, and some civilized restrictions on abortion. I want to hear one of them say they will stop with the special treatment of any group be it the Muslim or gay community. We need to get our resources to market and we need to stop hobbling our farmers.
We need a real conservative, please.
