Kevin O'Leary hints at possible run for Liberal Party leadership
Forget about the colour of #TheDress — is former Dragon's Den personality and businessman Kevin O'Leary red or blue?
In a television interview with Reshmi Nair on CBC News, O'Leary, who earlier talked about running for the federal Conservative Party leadership, said he does not rule out running for the Liberals.
"I don't think the old political brands will matter in the next election," O'Leary said, adding he is a member of the "Canadian tax payer party" and will speak on behalf of all Canadians.
"I can choose which party to actually run in because I think there will be a leadership race in the Liberal Party," he said.
O'Leary said he wants to change Canada's fiscal and economic policies because they are "broken and failing the taxpayer."
When asked by Nair whether he can do business in both official languages, long seen as a litmus test for aspiring prime ministers, O'Leary said he cannot.
"I was terrible in school in French. I failed every time I tried," he said, adding he spoke "the language of jobs."
"But I don't think that is going to matter," he said. "People tell me you can't win an election if you don't speak [French]. I think if you speak jobs and the economy you can win every election."
O'Leary also rebuffed comparisons of him and Donald Trump, the ex-reality TV star and businessman currently campaigning to be the Republican candidate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
"We both enjoy success in reality television," O'Leary said, "but that's where comparisons end. What Trump is doing in the United States has nothing to do with the challenges in Canada."
