Agreed, and while Saint John may be quite conservative historically, we also have a history of supporting personality over party in many past instances. Parachuting in a candidate might insult the same conservative base, who can be wary of change and "outsiders" at times. Watch it be Pierre Poilievre
Also, does Bernard live in Ontario still? I thought he was CEO of Medavie now.
