VANCOUVER – During a dinner party held by a friend, local man David Casper openly scoffed at the notion that Kellie Leitch could ever win the Conservative party leadership, let alone a federal election.

“Don’t worry, this will all blow over,” said Casper, unknowingly repeating what he’d said about Trump last October. “Trust me, real Canadians would never vote for her.”

Casper, who holds a high-paying job in downtown Vancouver and believed Donald Trump would lose in the primaries, says that Leitch can’t win because she doesn’t appeal to anyone.

“Who’s even listening to her? Canadians don’t have deep-seated racial biases to manipulate,” said Casper, who, like millions of others, spent the night of Nov. 8th in stunned disbelief. “I mean, have you seen her immigration policies? Those will never work. We’re a nation of immigrants!”

At press time, the most recent polls had found Kellie Leitch ahead in the Conservative leadership race.
