I want a new breed of politician with vision.  I suspected Trudeau wasn't it and I was right.

You can't deny that Trump is a new breed of politician.

You're correct, and in some sense I want more of the same:

someone who is independent of left/right and challenges the status quo

Scheer is doing a fine job of spoiling it for Scheer on his own.

From what it sounds like, Scheer doesn't have a lot of vision or leadership.  Leaders aren't afraid to put their vision & convictions out there, I don't think the guy's convictions are electable & I think Scheer & the party know it.  I don't watch much TV news, but i don't see much of anything from this guy in online newsmedia, and when I do it usually doesn't grab me much.

He seems like a wet noodle flapping in the wind.

I love all these funded alt-right trolls posting on Facebook about revolution, yellow vests and so on, then promoting a guy who has been an MP since he was 25 !  :D

We need a millennial PM, who can look at things and ask "why" ?  Why do we have a massive bureaucracy ?  Why do we spend money on useless things that help people who are already wealthy ?  The status quo is stultifying.

Generation is irrelevant.  Look at Bernie Sanders, he seems almost straight off a college campus & is as anti-status quo as it gets.  Anyways, I think we just need good governance, nothing too right or left.  A lot of people seem to be looking for a revolution.  We just need a ridiculously sensible leader with strong ethics & the balls/ovaries to stand up for them.  Unfortunately I think sensible & ethical people are often too sensible & ethical to get into politics.  Rona Ambrose seemed pretty cool on the conservative end, too bad she didn't want to stay.  Too reasonable I imagine.

The PPC deliberately courting radical fringe groups.

Voskamp, a former PPC volunteer, was hired as a full-time employee to liaise with electoral district associations (EDA) and regional organizers across the country in February. (An EDA, or riding association, is registered with Elections Canada and helps organize local activities for a political party.)

Voskamp's message appears to clash with PPC Leader Maxime Bernier's public stance. Bernier, who founded the party last August after losing the Conservative party leadership race, has insisted his party does not welcome racists.

Despite Bernier's declarations, several former senior PPC members told HuffPost Canada that the leader and party executives have ignored internal concerns about the company the party is keeping.

Mark Zielke recently quit the PPC claiming disagreement with a strategy that "now appears to be pandering to a small group of anti-Islamists, extremists, racists, and conspiracy theorists."
