   I have absolutely no doubt the Tory braintrust have their finger on the pulse   
   with their message about affordability and helping people get ahead. I just   
   wish Scheer could be    
   more at ease telling people he’s not bigoted toward gay people. Because the   
   lack of comfort is giving the Liberals the room they need to keep the   
   conversation on Trudeau’s one strength, and away from his many, many   
   weaknesses. A little candor from Scheer    
   on the topic would go a long way to introducing him to Canadians.

   The closest Harper ever got to owning dogs is Kenney and Scheer   
      
   New con slogan   
   “Time for you to get ahead”   
   or What lies on the road.A head?   
      
   Michael Coren: His religion says abortion is homicide and a ‘grave   
   sin.’ Can we believe Scheer when he says that, given the power to stop   
   it, he simply won’t do so?
