Deputy Conservative Leader Leona Alleslev stepping down to 'engage more actively' in leadership race cdnpoli

OTTAWA -- The Conservative Party’s deputy leader is resigning from her post citing the need to "engage more actively" in the final stretch of the party’s leadership campaign.

Alleslev was appointed deputy leader by Andrew Scheer in November, 2019, about a year after causing a stir in the House of Commons when she crossed the floor, swapping her Liberal badge for a Tory one. The Ontario MP quickly adapted to her role under the opposition tent, grilling her former colleagues for their foreign affairs policy and most recently for their pandemic response.

"I think that there are certain obviously disgruntled people and I'm very disappointed in them, because if they really cared about the country and they really cared about the conservative movement, they would wait for the external review that we are investing in, to find out exactly where we can do better and what we did wrong," Alleslev said at the time.

She seems very reliable and trustworthy.

Scheer - an American cockholster. Time for 16th west to separate from welfare eastern Canada.

Also known as getting away from Andy before he destroys any political integrity I might have.

He looks like he is trying to remember which shoe goes on which foot. She just looks angry to be in the same picture, lol!!!!!

Whose the highest bidder?

Stepping down before the embarrassment of being replaced by the next leader?

One of the CPC triage criteria for its staff or candidates for MP and/or leadership is the ability to conjugate the verb lickspittle.

Planning to jump ship again?
