Scheer resigns but still has support among some Medicine Hat Conservatives
Medicine Hat, AB – The writing appeared to be on the wall for the future of Andrew Scheer as Conservative Party Leader but that didn’t take away from the surprise of his announcement on Thursday morning.
Local Conservatives were reticent to publicly call for the Saskatchewan MP to step down. And those who did speak on the record were steadfast in their support for Scheer, pointing out he was the only Conservative leadership candidate to visit the city in the lead up to the 2017 vote.
Speaking from Ottawa, Medicine Hat MP Glen Motz spoke highly of Scheer, saying while he lamented the Conservative Leader’s choice, he respected the reasons for making the call to step down.
