Though an election date for the new Conservative leader has been set as June 27, the race itself has yet to officially begin. He wants to draw them in with what he calls his vision for Canada, reflected in a policy document called "A Country for All," that sets out ideas in eight areas. The idea is a twist on universal basic income, a program that gives everyone the same amount regardless of how much they make, and one that's gained increasing popularity as a means to address income inequality.
"What works in downtown Toronto, doesn't work in Regina, doesn't work in Fort McMurray, doesn't work in St. John's," he says.A strong belief in a decentralized federal government goes back to his upbringing. "I have been through a lot of ups and downs, a couple of recessions, more successes than failures, but a few of those. I can bring that to the table."
