First, you say time to talk policies- yet you still bring up SNC-lavilin and nothing on the policy front.
Secondly, you may be right about leadnow, but Wideleft got you all the facts and evidence (quoted below)- yet you still plug your ears and cover your eyes screaming fake news. He did all the work for you, all you have to do is read the links.
If a leader surrounds himself with people who show they are willing to court, work with and aid racists- at best he is condoning racism at worse he is a racist.... and I can't have that in a leader.
If someone is cool with their leader being a racist, that's on them- if that is not a deal breaker, then those people should maybe look at their values.
