Andrew Scheer, Leader of Conservative Party of Canada, delivers a keynote speech to attendees of the Alberta United Conservative Party Annual General Meeting in Calgary, Alta., Friday, Nov. 29, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Dave ChidleyConservative Leader Andrew Scheer used a speech in front of a sympathetic Alberta audience to defend his leadership following a bruising week of political criticisms.
The cheers for Mr. Scheer were not effusive, but he received strong applause as he attacked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and called for the repeal of unpopular federal energy policies. A few party members walked out of the room two minutes into his speech as a display of their displeasure with Mr. Scheer’s leadership.
“If we take the bait and start fighting amongst ourselves now, we are handing them the ultimate victory,” he said, warning that Mr. Trudeau will try to head back to the polls as quickly as possible to try to win a majority government back. “As leader of this party, it is incumbent on me to figure out what I and our party have to do to finish the job in the next election."He has faced calls to step down from both progressive and social conservatives. Conservative criticism about his leadership and election performance have been particularly loud in Ontario and Quebec. At a campaign postmortem in Ottawa on Thursday night, two more local campaign managers said Mr. Scheer should resign.

globepolitics Yes but Mr Scheer you're trying to lead with 20th century ideas in the 21st century; this isn't back to the future Andrew so step aside and let someone in this century to lead your party.

Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives' choices - Macleans.caPaul Wells: The party aims to build a winning coalition, keep the party united and infuriate Liberals. Only one person has done it in the last 30 years. Scheers, whole platfom is taking away Peoples Rights To CHOOSE. Scheer is even against The Act: Death With Dignity. Death With Dignity is not Suicide. It’s DEATH WITH COMPASSIONATE CARE. He's still Homophobic & Prejudice. Scheer needs to be replaced. I won't vote Conservative until this party makes a real platform on climate change. I don't care who their leader is. I also think people voting based on this is increasing for obvious reasons. They have many more problems than simply leadership.

Josephine Mathias: Until Scheer gives a straight answer, he won’t winComment Nation: The Tory leader didn’t want to talk about gay marriage. The Liberals were happy to talk about it for him When facing the media Trudeau lied about how many times he wore blackface, lied about groping a reporter, lied about and continues to lie about SNC, lied about his relationship with Aga Khan etc.. Difference is the media justifies, covers up for and never ever calls out Trudeau. Trudeau won and he hasn't given a straight answer or answer at all in over 4 yrs Or the answer you want regardless of the truth?
