In this conversation, Ricochet columnist Andrew Mitrovica suggests that the new Tory Boss is a lot like the old Tory Boss and that, with Andrew Scheer’s elevation to the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, we can expect to see a continuation of Harper-era policies including soft bigotry and dog-whistle identity politics.
Plus, excerpts and analysis on recent pieces from Supriya Dwivedi, Barbara Kay and Michael Taube writing on Andrew Scheer for American conservative media outlet The National Review.
