I think I may be in your boat entirely. I'm more left leaning that right (still pretty centered in that I despise aspects of both). I work on campus so his visit was discussed yesterday. I'm a little ignorant to his writing so I did some googling and found some articles that were actually fairly well though out.

He's said some pretty controversial things in the past I'm told. I'm interested in learning more about him.

edit - From wikipedia:

Levant was an active political organizer in the Reform Party, and guided the successful attempts by Rahim Jaffer and Rob Anders to win party nominations.

Levant worked with David Frum to organize the "Winds of Change" conference in Calgary, an early attempt to encourage the Reform Party of Canada and Progressive Conservative Party of Canada to merge so that a united rightwing party could defeat the Liberal Party of Canada in the subsequent election.

A close friend of Stockwell Day's son Logan, Levant proclaimed himself a "Stockaholic"

Well ... there's three reasons I'd have a hard time getting to like him.
