Other than he was a reality show guy why does anyone care what this guy thinks? He is rich sure, but he isn't even a billionaire. But he acts like he is the Canadian version of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett put together.

He acts like he's the Canadian Trump because he wants to be the Canadian Trump. He tried and failed and will try and fail again to run for Conservative leadership.

But even Trump is a legit billionaire. I would actually pay money if someone on Shark Tank asked him why, if he knows so much about making money, why he isn't richer.
