Unlike Trump and the direct vote for Prsident, O'Leary has to first be elected,  Seond he has to win the leadership race within the Conservative party.  Third, the Conservatives have to win the election.  None of these steps can be by-passed and none are "givens".  If the Conservatives can get rid of the Trumpite Leitch and other extremist candidates, O'Leary will also fall before he even steps up.  But this is no time for complacency or thinking that it won't happen.  Be very, very careful to make sure Canadians get off their butts and look beyond the gaggle of present candidates. And vote, folks, vote!
