I've read (wincing and/or laughing, mostly) at the comments on this page, with many more to come, I'm sure (it's only 7:30 am on the wet coast).  I'll say this about Mr. O'Leary--he's ALREADY done this country a real service simply by announcing "I'm in."  Why?  

Because, FINALLY, somebody got millions of Canadians--not to mention the commenters on these pages--to  pay attention to something other than the Excited States of America, and somebody other than Trump.  I'd say that was OK.  

I also think our PM would feel terrific about the announcement right now.  Couldn't ask for a better diversion!

Seriously, though,  let's look at O'Leary's comments: 

"the potential of this country is absolutely immense. It’s just really mismanaged..."  Check.
"We're giving $12 billion to a country where they beat women with a stick. ... I'm not OK with that" Check.
 and, 
"“I don’t care what I said ten years ago. What matters is how are we going to fix this country.”  Check and double check.
