He definitely sounds very patriotic and idealistic. His message also resonates a lot with what I believe is wrong with the U.S. and what is starting to happen in Canada. Take his "Now more than ever it’s time we rid this nation of elected officials whose only goal seem to be their own re-election and whose strategy seems to be not to rock the boat." statement and tell me that isn't what the Martin Liberals were doing before the last election.

I'd like to hear more about his principles and how he plans on it happening. Although I don't agree with some of his hidden leanings (bigger gov't, government should look after the people), I do think it's time for a shift towards that in the U.S. just to balance out the current trends.

Interesting for sure though.
