(That is Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank)

SNIP............

Celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary will run for the leadership of the Conservative Party and plans to announce his candidacy Wednesday, CTV News has confirmed.

The campaign launch will come one day after the French-language leadership debate that 13 other leadership candidates are expected to participate in Tuesday evening in Moncton, N.B.

................

O’Leary joked that there are “three official languages” in Canada: English, French and “the language of jobs.” He said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will never speak the language of jobs.

O’Leary is currently facing scorn from fellow candidates and constitutional scholars after he told Solomon that he would consider reforming the Senate by selling seats to “accredited” people willing to pay “a hundred thousand or a couple hundred thousand each year.”
