And that is the question...Does He Want It.
For those Readers who have no clue who John Baird is, permit me to enlighten you.
Baird was the second senior Minister next only to Prime Minister Stephen Harper during the Conservative Government of Canada from 2005 to 2015.
Baird resigned his Ministry unexpectedly during the dying days of Harpers Administration for which I have never received an adequate explanation.
If it was just because Baird sensed the good Ship Harper was going down and simply got out when the going was good, he would not be too blemished should he decide to go for the Leadership of the Conservative Party in Ontario in the wake of the recent resignation of Patrick Brown.
And should he do so, he would win a landslide victory in the coming Ontario Election which by law must be held this Spring.
The Liberal Party, which ruined the economy of our Province over the course of its 14+ years in power, will be left as nothing but a rump.
There will be lots of interest in the coming Leadership Race, but when the dust settles it will be Baird who stands victorious.
That is of course, should he decide to run.
As I See It...
