Derek Sloan - Probably the best in terms of conservative values but he has no chance of winning a federal election so I won't vote for him given this.

Leslyn Lewis - Optically, she has absolutely everything the left wants and would be quite an ironically entertaining leader. She has a masters in environmental studies, MBA in business and environment and has a PhD. She's a woman and black. The left would go crazy countering her. Unfortunately, she seems like she's a pretty weak politician and not very polished. I think she could learn the role and grow into it though. I'd say she is my first or second pick.

Peter MacKay - This guy reminds me too much like Scheer. He has no backbone. Constantly flips on things he says to appease leftists. He's not a new face and has demons in his closet. I think the people who'll vote conservative because of MacKay are already voting conservative so I don't think he brings anything to the table. He's perceived as being a part of the "old boys club" by some. I think in terms of conservative values, Peter seems to be willing to change anything to get elected. Too much of a politician and not what the conservatives need. MacKay is my third pick.

Erin O'Tool - I think Erin is up there with MacKay in terms of polish but comes with a cleaner slate. Erin seems more willing to stand up for conservative values than MacKay but also willing to compromise to get elected. I think his fat old white guy look is a detriment because he's pretty much the stereotypical conservative leader but it worked for Ford so maybe that's mostly irrelevant. Erin is probably my first pick but Lewis is a strong contender.
