People I admire, and why:

1. Donald Trump: His way with words. He paints artful metaphoric masterpieces with his great and unmatched word things.

2. Andrew Scheer: How he brings his depth of real-world experience to the political table. Also, the way he bends a Commandment.

3. Stephen Lecce: His humility is unmatched. It's never about him. He just toils away in the background. Never asking for the spotlight or attention.

4. Jason Kenney: No one has defended healthcare and education the way Jason has. Also, his passion for innovation and diversity.

5. Brett Wilson: Brett personifies "economic impartialness." 'Nuff said.

6. Boris Johnson: The world was hungry for a politician to come along who would prove you don't have to know how to use a comb to run a government.

7. Sam Oosterhoff: His passion for public education. Duh.

8. Lisa MacLeod: The consummate diplomat. The way she so deftfully employs the craft of wordsmithery and gentle persuasion to win our hearts and minds.

9. The MyPillow Guy: Gawd and comfy pillows. The world needs more of these.

10. Pierre Poilievre: He's just dreamy. Full stop.

11. Doug Ford: His thoroughness. The way he explores every facet of an issue; immersing himself in the deepest of consideration of pros and cons, before enacting any legislation.

12. Rex Murphy: The Everyday Joe of Unbiased Media. His love of syllables. A true Canadian treasure.
