Stephen Harper – Why is this Man Still in the Lead?
I remember back in November of 2004 the headline on the cover of the Daily Mirror, the UK tabloid newspaper. It read “How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?” referring to the number of people who voted to re-elect George W. Bush.

Lacroix is a mergers and acquisitions lawyer (and Conservative party donator) with no management experience in radio or television production.
