Dear Editor:
Congratulations, Mr. Michael Chong, your Bill C-586, “The Reform Act”, was used for the first time to dump Mr. O’Toole as your leader.
He was given the impossible task of trying to walk on both sides of the street at the same time and he gambled his future as party leader during the last election.
How to appeal to the far right of the party while appearing to be in the center to the majority of Canadians to get elected? If he had won, all would have been forgiven by the far right; if he lost the potential leaders in waiting could quicken his departure.
It was sad to see all the photo-ops taken by people like Pierre Poilievre even before your party voted to officially boot him out. But I guess that tells us a lot about him?
Good luck to the next one accepting this impossible goal, gambling their political future. Anyone thinking about putting their hat in the ring should consider if they like having a head to put the hat on more than the position of power? I sincerely wish Mr. O’Toole and his family well in the future.
Thomas Althouse,
Fergus
