Support Peter MacKay for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada

Peter MacKay may run for CPC leadership.


“I haven’t ruled it out,” Mr. MacKay said, sipping Earl Grey tea in a boardroom at his firm’s Bay Street office overlooking Lake Ontario.
“But am I pining away, thinking about it and organizing and getting an apparatus in place? Uh, no. I’ve done that before,” he said, referring to his run for the Progressive Conservative leadership in 2003 before it merged with Mr. Harper’s Canadian Alliance to form the modern Conservative Party of Canada.
“It’s a tremendous commitment.”
These days, Mr. MacKay refers to himself as another type of PC – a “practical Conservative.”
When asked why he doesn’t just say no to a leadership run, Mr. MacKay answered: “I’m still interested and engaged in a lot of issues that I care about, and politics is a vehicle to bring about change. It sounds trite, but it’s true.”
