Deputy Conservative leader steps down from post, endorses MacKay

Leona Alleslev made the announcement on Twitter on Monday morning, as the party's four leadership candidates look to shore up last-minute support before the August 21 deadline for mail-in ballots.

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.

Conservatives are screwed!

The CPC is a mess. One. Big. Convoluted. Mess.

She was an odd choice for deputy leader anyway. What are the bookies saying? Are there any. I suspect MacKay has had it from the beginning.

No one cares

McCay dosnt do it for me.

Remember MacKay stabbed the PC’s (his own party) in the back in order to get a better position with Harper’s reform party, then he licked the blade. He’s Canada’s Benedict Arnold !

She wanted to campaign for a candidate so she did the ethical and principled thing and resigned her position. She ought to be lauded for that, as well as her loyalty to Scheer when many Conservatives weren't. Instead some are trying to vilify her. Sad.

terrible. MacKay is the worst choice.

I guess she's not too bright. McKay isn't even in the boards.

She’s placed her bet...

Quitting before she could get fired by Scheer’s successor. What a disastrous appointment that was.

Lewis!

We know now not to vote for MacKay. CBC likes him as well.

Liberals supporting Liberals.

Lol no.

Remember MacKay is the conservative that the media wants, he is not the conservative Canadians need. Pick O'Toole, Lewis, or Sloan.

So...she's a liberal thru and thru...Wexit is the only way forward.
