In a tweet Monday, Nadine Wellwood said she’s appealing her disqualification from running for Livingstone-Macleod and will continue campaigning.
The former People’s Party of Canada candidate says she was on her way to a meeting with the local candidate nomination committee when a senior government staffer called to tell her the party had already disqualified her.“The approval and support of grassroots members is important to me, and I would not be campaigning to represent the riding of Livingstone-Macleod without their efforts and encouragement,” Wellwood said in a statement.
She says she will continue to meet with constituents, host events and listen to the concerns of residents in the riding ahead of next spring’s election. Wellwood ran for the PPC in Banff-Airdrie in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections and heavily opposed COVID-19 public health measures.
