Rona Ambrose: Party and Leitch

rona ambrose: By The Canadian Press Wed., Nov. 9, 2016 OTTAWA The leadership campaign of Conservative party hopeful Kellie Leitch is jumping on Donald Trump surprise U.S. victory to fire a shot at so-called Canadian elites, according to Toronto Star. On Facebook and in emails to supporters overnight, Leitch hailed Trump presidential victory as an exciting message that needs to be delivered in Canada as well. Leitch made the comments at the first debate for Conservative party leadership candidates Wednesday. Rona Ambrose, the interim leader of the Conservative party as it chooses a successor to Stephen Harper, issued a much more low-key message of congratulations to president-elect Trump. Our unique relationship has stood the test of nearly 150 years. The United States is, and will remain, Canada closest friend and ally, Ambrose said in a release. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
