Yes I think it is good since Harper early on realized that isolating the fringe right wingnuts in the party was required to achieve government and he did so quite successfully. Unfortunately some of the wingnuts are running in the leadership race and that is not a good thing for the CPC.

Rona Ambrose is cut from the same cloth as Harper and that is a good thing.  Unlike the vast majority of posters here I am informed and back up my positions with supporting evidence via research skills and techniques taught at law school and honed over 30 years of experience.

And no I am not Rona Ambrose (wrong gender to start with and a generation older), just a longtime Conservative who had his political philosophy shaped by that great Conservative Prime Minister and civil libertarian - John Diefenbaker.
