It's dispiriting how many column inches the Globe gives, in discussions of the Conservative leadership contest, to people who want to sink the Conservative party.  Analysts at this stage of a party's life should be dispassionate. If they were they would be forced to admit that, Kellie Leitch aside, very little talk among the candidates has been about Canadian values and everything connected to that subject.  The focus has been on the deficit, on taxation, and on foreign policy.  The Globe editorialized that only Michael Chong has argued for an inclusive politics, but in fact most candidates—especially O'Toole, Raitt, Saxton, and Alexander—have gone out of their way to disavow anything that smacks of being anti-immigrant or anti-Muslim, and in this respect are indistinguishable from politicians in the other parties. Most Conservatives do want to tread carefully where climate change is concerned, but that is because progressive talk is cheaper than progressive action.
