I was a guest on the CBC's Power and Politics show yesterday to talk about Prime Minister Harper and conservatism.
Here's the video link. (Forward to the 24:35 mark to avoid non-Gerry related material)

Who cares?
Feed your ego and delusions of grandeur at someone else's expense.
It was painful watching the first 10 minutes of that video. I was justified in turning off the TV 5 years ago. The problem is that conservatives still openly fight for their lives in this country while often savagely attacked by the left. (real conservative)
I do not care about this but a Tory you are not..belongs to the Progressive Conservatives only they are Torys!
To all the Anonymous commenters ... please, don't be so hard on Mr. Nicholls. He apparently formed his ideas in the '80s and he's determined to stick with them, no matter what changing circumstances arise.
If it means sitting perennially in the opposition benches, so be it, thinks Mr. Nicholls. And that will surely guarantee conservative principles are implemented, right?

First 2 Anons redux: WAH WAH WAH! We can only snivel and whine before Gerry's superior reason.
Yawn.
Ideologues always sound adversarial and in this case helped the CBC promote the hidden agenda meme. Was that your intent, to do harm to the CPC?
