MISSISSAUGA, Ontario - Canadian Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, who has a chance of defeating Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the Oct. 21 election, is running as a fiscally prudent, minivan-driving dad whom Canadians can count on to rescue the country from the tax-and-spend Liberal leader.
That has given the normally mild-mannered Scheer reason to go on the attack. In an election debate on Monday, Scheer attacked Trudeau as a blackface-wearing “phony” and “fraud” who does not deserve to govern, drawing gasps from the live audience. Scheer, a 40-year-old father of five, says his vision for Canada’s future is fiscal prudence and free markets, plus backing for the struggling oil industry and a little help to households for cost-of-living increases.
“At the end of the day, the debate is always more government or less government,” Scheer told Reuters in a recent interview, saying his view was that the free market “has done untold good” throughout history. Asked why he had kept it to himself for so long, Scheer said in the interview: “The first time a reporter ever said: ‘Is he a dual citizen?’ I said: ‘Yes.’”
“This election is more about not voting the Liberal Party because honestly, I don’t really like what they did in the past four years,” first-time voter Vlad Gnatenko, 21, said at a Scheer rally outside Toronto.
