Of the Tories, he's probably the most reasonable. Certainly head and shoulders better than Leitch, and worlds better than O'Leary. He actually might have the ability to bring the federal Conservative party back into rational territory after those 11 years under Harper.

I guess it's good that he's getting coverage at all when Leitch and O'Leary are out there Rob Ford/Donald Trump-ing the place up with wilder and wilder statements. If Chong ends up leader of the federal Conservatives, I will hold much less fear for the future of Canada.

... I still won't vote for them, though.
