Middle Ground: Harper Legacy and Stephen Harper

middle ground: And that middle ground seems to be a very confined space in today's Canada, according to Hamilton Spectator. While the Tories resisted the populist tides sweeping much of the world, while they rejected far-right economics as well as far-right intolerance that would have rendered them both unpalatable and unelectable, they also said no to candidates who preached a more progressive brand of conservatism. But just barely. Out of this battle over the party's future, Scheer emerged from Saturday's leadership event in Toronto as the answered prayer of the party establishment and, all things considered, a reasonable compromise. He stands crowned as the rightful heir to Stephen Harper and will proudly carry on the Harper legacy. This is an achievement for which he deserves congratulations. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
