  1. Peter Mackay stabbed the PCs in the back, his sellout to Harper is how the social conservatives took over the party.

    Hey Peter, we don’t believe anything you say, you have no principles and we’re going to remind the Canadian public if you try.

  2. Entitled, that’s Peter McKay is.
    If my memory serves me correctly, he ordered a search and rescue helicopter to extract him from a five star fishing camp. You or your comments are the last thing this country needs.

    1. @Kevin Beausoleil I agree with you. Don’t want to hear his thoughts, same goes for Brian Mulroney, he should have done time.

  3. Well with that admission you have pushed any interest in the conservative party completely off the table. You appear to all be cut from the same cloth.

  4. MacKay is salivating at the idea of becoming PM. His true nature was on display when he so viscously attacked Scheer just after the election. Most Canadians were turned off and taken aback by MacKay’s attack on Scheer. MacKay is now trying to be “Mr. Nice Guy” saying that he will support Scheer. Such nonsense! Canadians now know and understand MacKay.

  5. One has to wonder how a misfit like Trudeau got in again. It’s either stupidity on the part of the electorate or something else. Hmmm…

  6. Only the simple-minded would conclude that this means MacKay fully endorses Scheer’s leadership and that he doesn’t covet the job himself. Naturally MacKay doesn’t want to be remembered as the single person, apart from Scheer himself, most responsible for Andy’s demise as CPC leader. It would taint his leadership whenever it comes, so this helps him remove the spectre of being seen as the guy who stabbed his predecessor in the back.
