When Andrew Scheer was elected leader of the Conservative Party 18 months ago, I suggested it was a fair bet he would one day be prime minister. “Short of a meltdown,” I suggested the odds were with him — of 22 Conservative leaders since Confederation, 13 went on to become prime minister. If the Conservatives win, or even hold Justin Trudeau to a minority, Scheer’s position is assured. There are simply too many Conservatives, in and out of caucus, complaining that he is failing to show decisive, dynamic leadership. Would Scheer survive a leadership review if he loses the next election, I asked the second shadow cabinet member?
