Many of the cabinet ministers also have the same background.
The only person in power in the Conservative party that I have any respect for is Peter Mackay.
As a "Tory", I am hoping that the Conservative party will eventually see the rise of the old school PC's back into control of the right side while the social conservatives leave. Until then, the only party that even comes close to my personal political view point are the Liberals (and they are too east oriented to actually represent me as a citizen).
So yes, what I said is true -- what is debateable or not is whether this affects the executive's policy.
