OOC: I don't know if you knew this, but in Canada, no leader would ever call themselves a Social Conservative (and especially during an election campaign, and very especially so close to election day). It would seriously hurt the Tory's if their leader called himself a SoCon. Like really, I cannot overestimate just how much this would hurt Scheer if he actually did this. For some context, in 2004, various CPC candidates made SoCon statements and this seriously hurt the Party (and this was just candidates, not even the leader, if Harper had embraced Social Conservatism in 2004 it would have been a whole different ballgame). It was for this reason that Harper, despite being a very conservative person, decided to muzzle SoCons in the CPC Caucus after 2004. So yeah, safe to say this should backfire.

It isn't exactly good form to post on another player's campaign update to make commentary that could or could not sway the result. There's a reason why I don't do that.

Also, at least I took the time to make a speech.

oof

I do not grade based on player commentary. That said, Scheer's decision to embrace his socially conservative positions is a bold one and will impact the race.

(If people want a thread specifically for OOC commentary, might I suggest the sign-up thread?)

That sounds like a good idea.
