Given that Dan Lett's and my laments on the lack of candidates in the current PC leadership race haven`t inspired any challengers to step up, I have decided to take the drastic step of officially unofficially declaring my candidacy for the leadership of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party.
(Of course given that I am now a resident of Ontario, have in no way shape or form any financial or organisational resources, or have the permission of my chief of staff (i.e. my better-half) to do this, it shouldn't be too much of a problem right?)
So let's get this thing started! Let's start building a legacy for this great province! Manitoba needs to do better and will only do so with a striving, healthy democracy!
As much as the NDP may now believe it is their natural right to govern this province, that it is okay to curry favour and cut the line for Jets tickets for their friends, together we can show them that one has to earn and respect the privilege to govern!
Together we can work confidently towards 2015 knowing that last fall 46% of Manitobans believed it was time for change and believed in our Party's vision.
We need to unleash and harness the power of Manitoba's diversified economy, bridge the divides between our rural, urban and northern communities, and transform our health care system to ensure that the growing needs of patients take precedence over those of bureaucrats.
Over the next few weeks, I will roll out policy issues that I hope, my esteemed opponent will engage in so that the Party can benefit from some grassroots debate on the future of this province. Together let's build a legacy for the party, a legacy for our province and a legacy for our children!

Easy there cowboy. Policy issues have no place in Manitoba politics. Only slogans. Might I suggest "Aim even HIGHER"?
