I was just kidding.
Andrew Scheer
The continuity candidate
Age: 37
Position: MP for Regina-Qu’Appelle, Sask.
Andrew Scheer likely represents the clearest continuation of Stephen Harper’s legacy in this race: a western MP preaching the virtues of balanced budgets, free trade, vowing to undo Liberal climate change plans and keeping the Conservative family united.
Like Harper, Scheer was born in Ontario before moving west, studying history and politics at the University of Ottawa and the University of Regina.
The 37-year-old was first elected to the House of Commons in 2004, representing a mostly rural riding in Saskatchewan.
Unlike most of the other long-time MPs in this race, however, Scheer never served in Harper’s cabinet. Instead, he spent the Conservatives’ last mandate as the neutral Speaker of the House of Commons, playing the role of referee during the daily debates.
