Tories try to woo Quebecers away from Bloc, Liberal party with open letter to voters
OTTAWA — Conservative party leader Andrew Scheer is trying to take advantage of drama in the Bloc Quebecois as well as recent unfavourable headlines dogging the prime minister to woo Quebecers over to his party.
In a French-language letter published in La Presse on Tuesday, Scheer said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regularly demonstrates his incompetence at governing, while the Bloc is facing an existential crisis after 70 per cent of its members recently quit the caucus.
The Conservatives are a natural choice for Quebecers, he writes, because the party believes in low taxes, managing public dollars efficiently and respecting the jurisdiction of the provinces.
Scheer calls on “nationalists” and “federalists” in Quebec to take a closer look at the Tories.
