Ibbotson is such a Conservative.  I agree with his comment they have elected Stephen Harper with a smile and a bit of charm. That may be enough. The article's big tent comments at the end are embarrassing.  Time will tell what Quebec voters think about Scheer.  How the progressive wing (what is left of it ) feels about Scheer's win is to be determined. I joined the PC's to vote for Chong. The result isn't unexpected but it is disappointing.
