[edit] Leadership possibility section
From the current revision:
- Some have suspected that Prentice, along with MPs James Moore, Peter MacKay, Belinda Stronach and Chuck Strahl, was one of the five "unnamed" Conservative Party MPs that Harper rebuked in November 2004 for attempting to covertly start raising funds and support for a future CPC leadership race.
Who are "some?" Wikipedia reports political speculation of sufficiently high profile, but is not a gossip board. As tempting as that can be. See babble at Rabble, Freedominion, electionprediction or the Franksters board for that. :)
- neoconservative fiscal credentials
I'm not yet aware of his policy positions on anything besides SSM, but how appropriate is neoconservative? He made his name in the fairly fiscally neutral practice of law (or fiscally negative, if you're not a lawyer, tee hee), then he ran to succeed Joe Clark. The arguably neoconservative proposal that got the big spotlight in that leadership race was Scott Brison's, to disband ACOA and offer a lower tax rate in the Atlantic instead; he did go to Prentice, but soon enough would join the Liberals. So... what do we have showing Prentice's neoconservatism? Samaritan 22:20, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
