OTTAWA — Conservative leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary says if he becomes prime minister he will do everything in his power to “coerce” provinces into adopting his preferred economic policies. You have to have the co-operation of the provinces, obviously,” he said, then accusing some provincial leaders of mismanagement. Everything in my power to help them make the correct economic decisions on behalf of the rest of Canada,” O’Leary said. He’d sit down with individual provincial leaders and ask them to “show me what you’ve got.”The Conservative Party’s existing policy favours decentralization. “I suggest they go back and study the Constitution,” O’Leary said of critics, saying he would pass legislation to deny asylum claim rights to people who cross the Canada-U.S. border illegally.
