Kamloops MP says anything can happen in CPC leadership vote
KAMLOOPS —The federal Conservative party will name a new leader Sunday evening (Aug. 23).
The vote is being held by postal ballot and will determine whether Leslyn Lewis, Peter Mackay, Erin O’Toole or Derek Sloan will replace Andrew Scheer as the leader of the party. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod says her support lies with Erin O’Toole.
“I think at this stage as we look at the recovery from the pandemic I’m not looking for flash, I’m looking for solid leadership,” she said. “I’m looking for someone who’s very thoughtful, so for me Erin (is) very much a leader, very much strategic, very much will have a focus on how we can appropriately move forward and he’ll be able to communicate that message.”
