I agree that there is no place for a pure form of Libertarianism in Canada.    Bernier's main problem is that he has a lot of baggage.   Not just leaving sensitive papers at his girlfriend's house - he was part of a Govt that was the opposite of Libertarian and Bernier never made a peep.    Unless I'm mistaken, he fell right in line for Bill C-30, for the CPC's over-the-top anti marijauana stance, etc.      In fact, I did not know he fancied himself as a "Libertarian" until he launched his leadership bid.      

As for Scheer - his best chance to show Canadians what he's all about is NOW and what does the guy do?    He apes Harper.    Sending Kent and Rempel down to the States to cause trouble then days later saying (with a straight face) that the Rolling Stone's article is dangerous, and the juvenile jabs at Trudeau (which his core think are "clever").     Scheer is a mistake - the guy has never demonstrated a backbone or any leadership capabilities in 13 years as an MP and Speaker.
