Leadership Candidate: Justin Trudeau and Press Conference

leadership candidate: The appearance came the day before Raitt announced her website focused on drawing attention to the weaknesses of the highest-profile Conservative leadership candidate and the highest-profile potential candidate O'Leary is publicly considering joining the race and has launched an exploratory committee . If we want to bring Conservative ideas back to government in 2019, we need a leader who can beat Justin Trudeau, Raitt said at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday, referring to the next election year, according to CTV. Instead of talking about broken Liberal promises and foolish Liberal failures in 2019, we would be wasting time and energy on baiting and sensational antics with either O'Leary or with Leitch. Leitch appeared on Fox Business Tuesday, billed as the Canadian parliamentarian who wants the same immigration screening as Donald Trump. But, while Raitt framed the site as one about both Leitch and O'Leary, the URL -- Stop KevinOLeary -- makes it apparent the focus is more on one than the other. If principled and pragmatic Conservatives don't join together, we will see our party hijacked by the loudest voice in the room, who are really just aiming to boost their own profile. Equally, they are both trying to tap into negative populism, Raitt said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
