OTTAWA - Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says he's not going anywhere.
O'Toole was informed yesterday that at least 20 per cent of his MPs have submitted a letter to the party's caucus chair, calling for a leadership review. Alberta MP Garnett Genuis is one of the signatories and he says one-third of Tory MPs want O'Toole gone.
O'Toole released a statement on his Twitter page last night. He says the Conservatives can go in two different directions and his party members are unsure of which road to take.
"One is the road of Randy Hillier and Derek Sloan. It is angry, negative, and extreme. It is a dead-end; one that would see the party of Confederation become the NDP of the right. The other road is to better reflect the Canada of 2022. To recognize that conservatism is organic not static and that a winning message is one of inclusion, optimism, ideas and hope."
O'Toole says he is prepared to accept the result of the leadership vote, but adds the party members who signed the letter must accept it as well.
There are two roads open to the Conservative Party of Canada. One is the road of Randy Hillier and Derek Sloan. It is angry, negative, and extreme. It is a dead-end; one that would see the party of Confederation become the NDP of the right. 1/5
