Andrew Scheer

Tom Parkin: The NDP leader said he’d never prop up a Conservative government. It was the right thing to do—and a play that will strengthen his hand.

Michael Coren: His religion says abortion is homicide and a ’grave sin.’ Can we believe Scheer when he says that, given the power to stop it, he simply won’t do so?

Andrew MacDougall: Red Tories look at Scheer and his comments on same-sex marriage and we can’t quite take the measure of the man. He can’t afford that.

Michael Coren: For the Conservative leader, a devout Roman Catholic, opposition to same-sex marriage is more about religion than politics

The head of Canada’s largest private-sector union says he’s not blindly loyal to any party, but he’ll spend as much money as possible to beat Andrew Scheer

Corey Mintz: Who has a bigger crush on Canada’s dairy farmers, Justin Trudeau or Andrew Scheer? Let’s compare their love letters to milk.

Scheer’s campaign manager won’t be distracted. The key to a Conservative victory lies in meticulous research and a tight script.

Tom Parkin: With two unpopular party leaders, expect the coming election campaign to be heavy on the overwrought rhetoric and negativity

Paul Wells: What Canadians would like to see from their leaders is not bulls in china shops, but grown-ups. On the Food Guide fight, they fail.

Jen Gerson: Liberals are once again using abortion rollbacks in the U.S. as pretext for dire warnings about Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives. Guess there’s more than one bad movie in town.
