Mr. Wonderful has a plan to win back support for the Conservatives.
All 14 people vying to be leader of the federal Conservative Party were in Halifax for a debate Saturday.

Many of the candidates took the opportunity to take shots at Kevin O’Leary who joined them for the first time.

O’Leary seemed to take it in stride, even when his opponents chastised him for not seeking a seat in the house before the next general election.
“I think there’s really good people within caucus that can bark at Trudeau all day long, but that’s not valuable in getting back and expanding the base. I should spend my time here in Dalhousie, teaching classes. And believe me, I sell out when I show up here.”
O’Leary also answered accusations that his leadership bid wasn’t his sole focus.
“No, this is not a part-time job. When I saw what Trudeau’s plans were, I realized the guy’s off the rails. I mean, he is out of his mind. I will never let him bury my kids in debt for the rest of their careers, that will never happen.”
O’Leary says he plans on touring the country to steal support from the Liberals one voter at a time.
