Scott Brison

Alright, I really want to know: What are the odds that Canada would elect an openly gay individual as it's Prime Minister?


He seems to think they're pretty good...

GREENWICH, N.S. (CP) - Scott Brison is taking another run at the leadership of a federal party, but this time it's the Liberals he wants to lead.

The Nova Scotia MP, who was once a Progressive Conservative, announced his ambition to lead the Liberal party on Sunday, describing himself as "a product of a Liberal Canada" in the late 1960s.

"I would not be where I am today without a Liberal Canada, shaped by Liberal ideas, based on Liberal values," he said during his announcement surrounded by supporters at a local inn.

"Liberal social investments helped give me a good start and the opportunity to compete and to succeed."

Well, if he did win the Liberal leadership and eventually the Prime Ministership, we could rest assured that the PM's residence would be exceptionally well decorated...
