"Kevin O’Leary doesn’t have a clue how the country he hopes to govern one day operates."

That may be.  And in a future column, Mr. Mason, please do "go on" with regard to "this man’s idiocies."  Wouldn't be a waste of my time to read it--and I assure you, not a waste of your time in listing them.  One of your readers might be Mr. O'Leary himself, so you'd not only be doing G&M reades a service, but perhaps the Conservative party AND--who knows?--the country as a whole.  In fact, I believe you have a DUTY to do so!

Re: Mr. O'Leary's blunt assessment of the Alberta government--well, what would you expect from a Conservative? The candidate might have chastised the federal Liberals for that wad of cash they blithely handed to AB a few months ago.  If I was premier of Saskatchewan or Manitoba, I'd rightfully squeal, "Hey!  We're suffering here, too.  Where's ours?" 

There's probably lots our PM still has to learn--plenty of G&M commenters would agree!  That's what advisers are for.
