Two years ago now,
Andrew Scheer spent the final days of his campaign to lead the Conservative party brandishing his credentials as a fiscal and social conservative.
He would balance the budget quickly, within two years. He would give parents a tax writeoff if they send their children to private schools or do home schooling.
Now, as the Conservatives populate their election platform with major pieces of policy, those two commitments are missing in action from Scheer’s speeches.
They are front and centre for Liberals, however, as they relentlessly try to make the case that Andrew Scheer equals Doug Ford, with all the
unpopular cuts that the premier’s quest to balance the Ontario budget entails.
Scheer’s officials won’t say whether those promises from the leadership campaign still stand, and that only makes the Liberals’ case stronger.
