I've not voted Liberal, never have and, as they continue on their current path, see no reason to ever mark my ballot for one of their candidates, no matter how eminently qualified they may be. That said, I too fear for the future of this party and the impact their unrelenting pursuit of power might have on the overall health of our democratic institutions. 

I get that all political parties, to some extent, parachute their perceived "star" candidates into ridings, somehow hoping this will improve their chances, but misguided in the belief they will add bench strength. The Liberals, though, appear to have perfected this tactic over the years, to the point one has to wonder if they've moved it beyond the exception and now making it more the rule. And if the grassroots of their support base continues losing the ability to pick a candidate of their choosing, someone from their communities, whose interests then once in office, do these parachute people represent? 

Yes "CANADA IS BACK"
