Deputy Conservative Leader Leona Alleslev stepping down to 'engage more actively' in leadership race cdnpoli
OTTAWA -- The Conservative Party’s deputy leader is resigning from her post citing the need to "engage more actively" in the final stretch of the party’s leadership campaign.
Alleslev was appointed deputy leader by Andrew Scheer in November, 2019, about a year after causing a stir in the House of Commons when she crossed the floor, swapping her Liberal badge for a Tory one. The Ontario MP quickly adapted to her role under the opposition tent, grilling her former colleagues for their foreign affairs policy and most recently for their pandemic response.
"I think that there are certain obviously disgruntled people and I'm very disappointed in them, because if they really cared about the country and they really cared about the conservative movement, they would wait for the external review that we are investing in, to find out exactly where we can do better and what we did wrong," Alleslev said at the time.
