Andrew Scheer: Scheer and Grassroots Members

andrew scheer: Just two weeks ago, Scheer pleaded with Alberta Tories that loyalty to the party meant loyalty to him personally, according to Rabble. Conservatives organizing to oust Scheer from the top job told me at the time that they expected to have him out before Christmas. Andrew Scheer pledging days earlier to fight to the bitter end to stay on as federal Conservative Leader fell on his sword Wednesday morning. I agreed that Scheer had little chance of surviving, but considered their prognostications of a pre-Christmas bloodletting wildly optimistic. Joining a large contingent of grassroots members and activists calling for his head was a respectable number of insiders who's careers are mostly as political operators. For not the first time, I was wrong. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
