For a time, it looked like Canadian conservatives were headed down a similar path. Scheer's campaign slogan was Scheer excitement, and there was no doubt in the aftermath of his win supporters were vibrating with just that. He's the kind of person the whole team can rally around. He just hit the right balance of values and experience and he was a very genuine person, said supporter Leslie Whicher. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
