Kevin O'Leary - Conservative leader?

Hi Everyone,

Here's the link to the interview with Kevin O'Leary from the CBC radio show As It Happens.

O'Leary shows us that he's a skilled interviewee, declaring that his lack of political experience is an advantage, and that, like Trump, he has the money to finance his leadership campaign.

What do you think of this man and his ideas?

Anti-Canadian Values?

Hi Everyone,

Here's the link to the Kellie Leitch interview about Canadian values. What do you think of her defense of her position -- and what do you think of the interviewer's questions?

One posted comment was:

"Good job nailing her to the wall with her comments and her attempt to dodge an honest answer."
NOTE: The idiom "nailing her to the wall" means to understand someone's real meaning (what they are really talking about).

Kids and Computers
