Obviously I’m torn over which fellow-creature of the Alberta boonies I would prefer to see become the Liberal Party of Canada’s next leader. Both Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney seem determined to run for the Liberal leadership against the Liberals as we have known them. I give Freeland extra points for being the Liberal Brutus, which is also the reason she’s likely not to win the contest. But, for all that, her imminent volte-face against her own incremental increase to the federal capital-gains tax is … well, it’s A LOT to swallow.
