No one will accuse Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer of stepping in his Ontario counterpart’s limelight since the June 7 provincial election was called. Indeed, since Doug Ford was elected leader last March, Scheer has stuck to his federal knitting. Federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer speaks to reporters following a caucus meeting on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on May 23, 2018.

From the federal Conservatives’ perspective the latter might be worse than the former.
