MacKay shares thoughts on Conservatives, terrorism and trade relations while in Red Deer
A long-serving Canadian politician spoke in Red Deer over the weekend.
Peter MacKay shared the stage at the Sheraton with this year’s citizens of the year, but also discussed a slate of national and international issues gripping the world right now.
Many eyes were locked on the Conservative Party of Canada’s leadership races for what seemed like an eternity, with MacKay describing it as ‘lengthy.’ The Nova Scotian was at last month’s convention where Andrew Scheer was elected.
“The process turned out to be much more exciting and competitive than many imagined. Andrew Scheer, having worked with him and knowing him personally, will do an excellent job,” he says. “We’re fortunate we see changes in a government without a shot fired and that’s something we should never take for granted.”
