New Brunswick MP John Williamson is exploring a bid for leadership of the federal Conservatives, he said Wednesday.

Williamson's announcement emerged as many Tories are grappling with whom to support in the contest now that some high-powered candidates have left the field, including former interim leader Rona Ambrose and longtime Tory MP Pierre Poilievre.

Former Conservative cabinet ministers Peter MacKay and Erin O'Toole are the only declared contenders who've also met the first requirements for entry into the race -- a $25,000 payment and 1,000 signatures from party members representing 30 ridings across seven provinces or territories. "I think it's clear that Peter MacKay has sewn up the Red Tory bloc and there is a huge element of blue conservatives on the right which are looking for a candidate," he said.

He won't win. The CPC is too Western-centric at the moment for anyone from down East to win.

Trump crackdown on birth tourism could mean new waves of passport babies in CanadaAustralia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, Germany and South Africa have all altered their citizenship laws to discourage birth tourism, but not Canada. Taking advantage of our Liberal system is not the way it should be! Fine them heavily, like more than a million dollars per baby and all medical expenses not included! The million dollars is going to the agency who advertises and brings this wealthy crew to have their babies here. Also puts them up in birthing houses. Horrible!! Canadian law should prohibit this. And this has nothing to do with racism. Why does every headline have to be so fucking rude nationalInquirer
