How about a bit of press on some of the more balanced CPC candidates like Lisa Raitt, rather than the usual free advertising for controversial platforms (the TV celebrity, the 'Canadian Values Test' or the libertarian)?   So far, Raitt's platform focuses on balanced budget and lower taxes but still improving health care and the innovation agenda, while preserving or advancing women's causes.  The hook in her platform is a 'taxpayer protection act' to protect Canadians from future Trudeau-like governments.  It does all sound a bit optimistic, but who wouldn't agree there is federal government waste that adds little value, which most Canadians would not even notice if it were reduced or eliminated?  I don't see anything in her platform that is not inclusive.
