This shark from Shark Tank is smarter than Trump, that's for sure.

Can O'Leary make Canada great again?

I think it will be interesting, but he can't speak French which would be a problem for him.

Fuck. Is this is Canada's Mr.T? Although "successful", the guy comes off as incredibly self-centred.

I like O'Leary as a commentator

I don't however like the idea of O'Leary running the Conservative party

The main problem with O'Leary is the same problem with Trump... they pretend to support capitalism, but they actually don't seem to understand the concept of what capitalism really is. It needs to be laissez-faire. Tariffs, taxes, incentives, favoritism, protectionism, lobbying... all don't exist in real capitalism. When you introduce all of that, you end up with super powerful corporations and monopolies.

I'll only be concerned if he actually gets anywhere, from my understanding it's fairly easy to enter at this level (I may be wrong).

That said, anyone even putting their name down as a possibility for running a country when they haven't had any prior experience in politics is a joke.

Ruining high level business gives me more confidence in your skills than being a PE teacher i.e. Justin.

that PE teacher has been exposed to and involved in the politics his whole life.
celebrities who know nothing about politics shouldn't run countries.

I know you meant to say "running", but what you wrote would be accurate as well.

Here's a good article on his business career:
