York Centre: Pc Candidate and Caucus Colleague

york centre: Though some have won their races, several high-profile Conservatives have not, according to The Waterloo Record. Oliver, the former MP for Eglinton-Lawrence, was vying to become the PC candidate for York Centre ahead of the June 2018 Ontario election, but was defeated Sunday by lawyer Roman Baber. Oliver was one of several former Conservative MPs who were defeated in 2015 and have been trying to secure provincial nominations, attempting to hitch their wagons to a party doing well in the polls, and one that is helmed by their former caucus colleague. Though his victory may have surprised political observers, Baber suggested it didn't come as a huge shock to himself. Baber said before the nomination race the riding association had only about 100 members, and his campaign signed up 1,314 new members. I think it was generally known that we've been working very hard at this and made significant outreach efforts around York Centre, so we're happy those efforts paid off, he said.
