Kamloops MP questions O’Leary’s leadership motives
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod says she’s disappointed for Kevin O’Leary’s supporters.
O’Leary was set to announce Wednesday he is dropping out of the leadership race and throwing his support behind Maxime Bernier.
McLeod says it doesn’t appear O’Leary was ever serious about running for the Conservative leadership.
“I’ve never been really sure why Kevin O’Leary was in this race. He was spending a siginificant amount of time down in the U.S., and was coming into Canada every now and then, not attending debates, unilingual. I can’t speculate in terms of his motivation, that was a puzzle to me,” said McLeod.
