Because the base and the members think he’s just fine.  Bernier came in 2nd remember...   crazy, nutbar, climate conspiracy Bernier was 0.1% away from leading the Cons.

I imagine JT hopes they keep him.

They should splinter the CPC apart again, one party called the PC Party the other called the Crazy Christian A$$holes Party.

Unfortunately their current leader fits into the latter.

ya, ya - weak Andy/campaign told a pack of lies & liberally spun misinformation throughout the campaign. If you actually accept his claim... that he began the process to renounce "just before the campaign started", given the typical 10-month period for the U.S. to complete that process, if Scheer would have won, Canada would have had a U.S. citizen as Prime Minister - for at least 8 months. But really, after initial repeated questioning why couldn't Scheer state whether or not he had, per U.S. requirement, filed taxes and registered for 'selective service'. And, as I'm aware, the one question he still hasn't answered: how for personal travel reasons, again per U.S. requirement, did he enter and leave the U.S. without presenting a valid U.S. passport?

registered for 'selective service'

Do you need to register if you suffer from bone spurs?

Only American citizens and immigrants between 18-25, living in the US are required to register for selective service. Scheer wasn't even born when conscription was discontinued in the US.

Not according to the Selective Service System Registration website:

DUAL NATIONALS

Dual nationals of the U.S. and another country are required to register, regardless of where they live, because they are U.S. citizens.

Almost all men age 18-25 who are U.S. citizens or are immigrants living in the U.S. are required to be registered with Selective Service. U.S. law calls for citizens to register within 30 days of turning 18 and immigrants to register within 30 days of arriving in the U.S.

Ambiguous.

However if he was required and didn't, it would be up to the US to make an issue of it when he crossed the border. Whether or not he registers or files US taxes is no concern of Canada.

No matter, from what I'm hearing it looks like Peter MacKay will be taking over from Scheer before long.

Not really. The sentence states:

Almost all men age 18-25
     - who are U.S. citizens
     - or are immigrants living in the U.S.


There is no comma after immigrants.

Still, it isn't Canada's concern.

MacKay enters the fray. 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mackay-scheer-conservative-leadership-1.5341633

The “stinking albatross of social conservatism around Scheer’s neck”. 

Is this the rebirth of the progressive conservatives?
