  1. If you think McKay will save you from the liberals; think again. He is a more educated version of Trudeau.

    1. patricia roy can you just not vote conservative? They are just corrupt liars. Nothing to do with conserving, just lining pockets.

  2. Ugh. He shouldn’t have apologized for the tweet. It’s stupid and pointless but now it’s a “stinking albatross”

  3. So Peter MacKay agreed to an interview where his “handlers” dictated the terms to the journalists? Big strike against all of them. Except the journalist for ignoring their dictates.

    1. Is that any worse than being the PM and using more than half a billion dollars of the tax payers money to buy the MSM?

  4. The CPC is trying to find Mr Perfect to go against Trudeau’s imperfection, McKay is not him. 16k for a helicopter ride is a sign of a problem of judgement, and Mckay needs to find a new team, one that understands irony.

  5. Is mackay or his advisors running the show. So weird. Mackay had a decent response but should explain why its still up

  6. Politician’s owe it to civilian’s to have transparency in all things. The interviewer was in the right to ask him that question.
