That might well be. But I think this was an early swing through Ontario, and he left a very poor impression on what his party was about. Evasive would probably be the best description of his talk. I wanted to know about this new party that was looking to make national waves. The campus was very curious. But most of the questions that were asked were brushed aside.
As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
