In addition to letting go two of his top aides on the weekend, the contract for Hamish Marshall, Conservative campaign manager for 2019, has expired and there is no indication who will be in charge of the next one. Scheer headed to Montreal Monday night to face a group of 75 candidates and campaign managers unhappy that the Conservatives’ federal election campaign failed to break through in Quebec. Scheer is also expected to announce his House of Commons leadership team and his shadow cabinet of ministerial critics before he travels to the United Conservative Party Convention later in the week. A Quebec party insider, speaking only on condition of anonymity, said Quebec party members are angry and will vent their concerns to Scheer face to face. The Scheer campaign was seen as overly centralized and disconnected with on-the-ground realities in Quebec, he said.
