The National Post reports that Andrew Scheer will support Pierre Poilievre for the Conservative leadership:
Former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer will support Pierre Poilievre’s bid for leadership. The announcement will be made on Friday evening during a rally in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Scheer was seen beside Poilievre as he was making his second promise as leadership candidate: repealing what he deems as “anti-energy and anti-pipeline legislation,” formally known as bills C-69 and C-48, and building “Canadian pipelines with Canadian workers.”
In addition to killing C-69 and C-48, Poilievre has said that he will scrap the carbon tax:
Speaking to media, Poilievre promised to replace them with new laws that would “protect the environment, consult First Nations and provide them with paychecks and give quick decisions on proposed energy projects,” should he be named leader and then elected Prime Minister.
Scheer's support for Poilievre indicates that he still doesn't understand why he lost his quest for the brass ring. And Poilievre's stand on the environment indicates that his vision doesn't extend beyond the Manitoba border.
It's tunnel vision. And it appears that the Conservatives can't find their way out of the tunnel.
