OTTAWA—Linda Frum, one of the most high-profile Conservative women in the country, is resigning from the Senate, the Star has learned. In an interview, she said she informed Conservative party Leader Erin O’Toole a year ago that she intended to leave at the end of this summer. In an op-ed in the National Post in 2016, Frum argued that move was window-dressing, and the Senate needed an entirely new approach. On Friday, Harper lauded Frum as a thought leader in Canada’s conservative movement, and a principled and articulate parliamentarian. Frum is a director on the Conservative Fund, the powerful and arm’s-length organization that controls the party’s fundraising.
