Fourth Conservative – you mean third, right? Also, you don’t have Proulx’s name in there but isn’t he running?

Anon – No, four Conservatives: Merv Tweed, Barry Devolin, Andrew Scheer and now Royal Galipeau. As for Proulx, I keep hearing reports that he plans to let his name stand, but as far as I know, he isn’t actively campaigning, and he accepted the deputy whip job just a week or two ago.

Oh, right, Kady. For some reason, I thought Devolin was Liberal. Is Belanger actively campaigning?

I believe Royal would do a better job than Peter Milliken, but I still like Andrew Scheer. Come to think of it, almost anyone would do better than Peter Milliken. We need fresh blood.
