Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is naming his shadow cabinet, including his predecessor Andrew Scheer as the party's infrastructure critic.

Former Conservative party leader Andrew Scheer praised the accomplishments of John. A Macdonald, adding it’s “so frustrating” to see images of Macdonald being torn down in Canada.

To succeed where Andrew Scheer failed, Erin O'Toole must take advantage of the significant political ammunition he has against the vulnerable Liberals, Roy Green says.

Erin O'Toole must placate the extreme elements in the Conservative Party while trying to steer the ship toward the more moderate views held by most Canadians, writes Bill Kelly.

O'Toole spent his first day on the job meeting with senior members of the party as he strives to refresh the Opposition Leader's Office and the party's front benches.

On Saskatchewan’s first ballot at the leadership convention, it was Leslyn Lewis who led all candidates with 554 of a possible 1,400 points.

O'Toole's first order of business was setting in motion staffing changes. That is likely to involve bringing in some of his campaign team to oversee operations and strategy on Parliament Hill, while others take up senior roles within the party.
