Ep. 7 - Perennial Outsiders

A small segment of Conservative supporters believes that foreign-born Canadians should not be allowed to hold elected office. This isn't possible legally or practically, but the Left exploits this sentiment to turn many voters against Conservatives. But no party is doing enough to ensure that all their candidates are capable people of demonstrable merit. THAT is what we should be focusing on, rather than the place of birth of the office-holder.
