Erin O’Toole hopes his modesty and military background will help him unseat Justin Trudeau, Canada’s current prime minister
FIRED UP BY the film “Top Gun” when he was young, Erin O’Toole enrolled in Canada’s Royal Military College in hopes of becoming a fighter pilot. He did become airborne, but as a navigator on an “old, antiquated helicopter”. Rather than “Maverick”, the aviator portrayed by Tom Cruise, Mr O’Toole wound up as “Goose”, the radar-intercept officer, he joked to an interviewer.
The plan, hastily improvised to fight a snap election, is to assure Canadians that, although his personality is nothing like that of the entitled, gratingly woke Mr Trudeau , his policies are not all that different. Mr O’Toole won the Conservative leadership contest sounding like a populist; he rallied the party faithful to “take back Canada”. Now he comes across as a “red Tory”, fiscally prudent but liberal on social issues and supportive of the welfare state.
