Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says accusations that he panders to groups with hateful or intolerant messaging are unfounded. In his remarks to the Manning Centre networking conference on Saturday, Scheer said he "unequivocally" condemns hateful ideologies. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he didn't hear a portion of a question about the Clinton Foundation mentioning "pizzagate." However, now that the SNC-Lavalin affair is casting doubt onto Trudeau's character, it's easier for people to see "the real Andrew Scheer," he said. Scheer also shredded the new federal Liberal budget, calling it a multi-billion dollar attempt to distract from the ethical questions about the government.
