Note: I don't align myself with any party. My tendency in provincial elections is to vote PC, but I always vote along the lines of which politician closest aligns to my values.
I have similar sentiments. I won't go out and say that she is corrupt as of yet (small sample size), but the tendency seems to be there that Redford seems to be willing to do less than honest things to get her goals, whatever they may be, done. Her inability to win over crowds by being charismatic are just intensifying the views on her. The article notes that if these were allegations against Klein, he likely could have walked his way out of it.
I'm not sure Mar would have been a much better choice, and I'll give it more time, but Redford definitely needs to correct her public image quick. I can imagine Smith is telling her entire team to throw out any piece of dirt on Redford they can find now.
If this sort of gong show continues on for upwards towards a year, then I think it'd be good to call another leadership convention.
