Acid tests comment was terrible.............. but his background is not typical of most run of the mill politicians,.....he had a rather "cloister" youth attended private Catholic schools,  spent his entire adult life in the "conservative" movement and politics, never had much real life experience, never met a payroll or held a privaste enterprise job, was unable to complete any higher educations, once worked for the liberals in Saskatchewan, lives with his mother at age 49.
