He has? Where? In the polls? I haven't seen those polls.

Did that explain his popularity on election night three years ago?

Your perception is a marked departure from mine.

Wait, don't you support the federal Conservatives?

Hypocrisy aside, is there a politician out there who doesn't want to improve their political position by having more allies?
