Peter MacKay is not a Harper Conservative.
His frontrunner position is therefore wishful thinking more than it is a done deal, which may be a good thing for those who want Harper’s brand of Conservatism to continue under new leadership.

To add insult to injury, two prominent French-language papers in Quebec — both owned by Quebecor’s mercurial separatist boss — Pierre-Karl Péladeau — ridiculed MacKay’s announcement of seeking the Conservative leadership by mocking his pisse pauvre French.
