Dr. Leslyn Lewis: Leadership Candidate for Conservative Party

Published February 10, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Politics


Update 2020-02-10 17:28 hrs : Added donation form for Leslyn Lewis and instructions for returning to her campaign at bottom of page.


I stumbled upon Dr. Leslyn Lewis quite by accident.

The president of my Conservative EDA asked me to write an email to our members. He wanted to give them the opportunity to sign nomination papers for as many candidates as possible.

Why?

So we can have a leadership convention with more than two candidates on stage in June.

I discovered there are a lot of people who want to lead the Conservative Party, including Dr. Leslyn Lewis.

Most of them won’t stand a chance because of the high barrier to entry raised by the Conservative Party. (see Has the Conservative Party Forgotten its Grass-Roots Foundations? for my thoughts on this.)

What I discovered after visiting LeslynLewis.ca was an intelligent, hard-working woman who lives and breathes conservative principles. It’s refreshing.

Ms. Lewis is also the prototypical Canadian immigrant success story. She came here as a small child with her parents. They left everything behind to come to Canada in the hope of giving their children a better life.

They had nothing but willingness and their work ethic to guide them.

Now she’s a lawyer and educator running to lead the Conservative Party into the next federal election. She wants to be the next Prime Minister of Canada.

Hers is a great Canadian story – one I’ll be exploring in greater detail when I interview her for a newspaper article in about 10 days. Stay tuned for more on that.

She is insanely busy, as you can imagine, launching her campaign and putting together all the pieces a legitimate leadership bid requires.

I encourage all Conservative Party members to visit her website and follow her on Twitter and Facebook to learn more about this candidate.

If you believe as I do, we need a leadership convention with more than two men standing on stage, please download Leslyn Lewis’ nomination form, fill it out, sign it, and return it to her. (see the bottom of this page for links for every candidate in the race.)

Leslyn Lewis needs all the help she can get to achieve the signature and province counts required. She also needs donations. The $300,000 entry fee is a very big mountain to climb.

Sadly, the Conservative Party is determined to have a leadership coronation, not a leadership contest.

I’m committed to a leadership contest, not a coronation.

I hope you are too.

 


What do you think? Is the Party’s high barrier to entry a good or bad thing? Do candidates like Dr. Leslyn Lewis deserve a legitimate shot at leadership is the Party right to try and exclude them?

Let me know in the comments below.

 


How to Donate to Leslyn Lewis’ Campaign

To financially support Leslyn Lewis’ campaign, please download her “directed donation form” from the link below. When complete, please email the form to her campaign team at vote@leslynlewis.ca.

Download Leslyn Lewis Campaign Directed Donation Form

 

CAVEAT: This is not an endorsement. Since the Party announced their criteria for the contest I’ve pushed to ensure every candidate who wants to be on stage at the Leadership Convention will be. Our Party and our nation deserves to hear from as many quality candidates as possible, not just the ones CPC HQ says we should.

    The last cpc leadership was a joke . WAY TOO MANY IN IT . The party needs to pare down the hopeful , but just how they go about it is up for a discussion . I am not in favor of a $ value to weed out candidates , but would like to see the people chose , by signatures .
    I complained so many times about the last race , there was way to many involved and good candidates did not get enough time to get there message out in the debates . The other thing it was way too long a period , people lost interest .

      Agreed, Edward. The current financial barrier was imposed to stop all but the most politically connected could stand a chance. As I wrote in my earlier piece about the Conservative Party forgetting its grassroots foundation, CPC HQ wants a McKay coronation. If we’re lucky there will be two people on stage at the Leadership Convention – O’Toole and MacKay. Even Gladu will be hard-pressed to raise $300k by the deadline.

    I wonder…

    – What’s her position on civilian firearms ownership?

    – What’s her position on the current nonsensical Firearms Act?

    – Why the party leader isn’t chosen AFTER the election, by open ballots cast by Conservative MPs?

    – What the result might be if every Conservative Party supporter who is fed up with the Establishment Elite committing behind the scenes subterfuge during leadership contests and elections, instead put their time, effort and money behind the Libertarian Party?

      I’ve contacted her directly and offered my assistance to draft her firearms policy. She’s asked her policy folks to contact me and move that ball forward. When more occurs I’ll let you know, but that’s where it stands at the moment. Even without my input and based on what I’ve read from her both directly and on social media, my bet is her policy on guns will be good.

      re: Libertarian Party and disaffected Conservative members. In practical terms, the LPC is unelectable, just like PPC. Even if 50% of current CPC members joined and put their full effort behind LPC, it’s a generation before they gain enough traction to become Official Opposition – longer to form government. Speaking solely from a practical position, Canada can’t afford a generation of uninterrupted Liberal destruction.

        She doesn’t know her own stance on this?! *ROFL* Two points: 1) I don’t get what your hopeful assessment is based upon. 2) Politicians tend to excel in pronouncing one thing but then doing completely opposite.

          That’s not what I said. She has not rolled out her policy yet, so *I* don’t know what it is.

    Entry fee is most definitely a bad thing. Meaning that one who has that money at a stake better behave by doing what’s he’s supposed to. If he doesn’t have this amount then there always be groups of people ready “to help” in exchange of certain favors (lobbying).

    Now to this lady in particular… Looks like obama in a skirt. Basically people “voted for a change” and were screwed up like never before. A woman in power would have more leeway when things go wrong. I’ve seen companies managed by ladies and taken down the drains by them but the thing is that BOTH employees’ and board of director’s trust in them was surprisingly high. If a woman is appointed to do crisis management nobody will say a thing even when most draconian policies are enforced by her.

    Also, beware of vaguely sounding words like “compassion”, “courage” and “common sense”; this usually means they will keep pushing status quo agenda. Again, like obama did: he was saying right things but doing the opposite. I wouldn’t hand over my trust to her only to find out later I was screwed again. Common sense differs from one’s perspective: it’s one when you’re homeless and completely different when you’re in top 0.0001% of the population.

    Unless she is proposing to repeal 90% of laws and fire the associated bureaucrats and cut the associated taxes, she is no better than the BS status quo we have now and have had for the last 50 years.

      Your list looks like a good start, Dave. The list of government agencies is likewise in need of pruning. Hundreds of them could easily be disbanded as well, with no loss to society.

        yup you got that right about the agencies (without the laws, the agencies cease to exist). These govt bastards try to justify their existence by each year telling you what more you are not allowed to do, say, or think. The only solution is repeal, repeal, repeal. When are the Conservative Party MPs going to get that?

    I have already contributed to Dr Leslyn Lewis campaign. The only other Candidate Riat & I are 2nd place voting is Derek Sloan …. No One else EVEN deserves a 3rd of 4th place thought !!!!!!

    I need to contact with Dr Lewis campaign team re her Zooming & connection with the Membership so that She receives THE EXPOSURE & see her on Screen to solidify, strengthen, her Image , Her Very Positive stance/ positions so as to firm her Position so we as Canadians are again given Purpose, & life again that Trudeau has smothered us, deceived us, dishonoured us as Christains, Broken family & parental values over their confusion re gender identity & more so given, condone Legal Authority to society whereby Anything to do with Love, respect, compassion, & family relationship is Condemned. As well Leslyn’s & Derek’s positions need to Continually be revealed so to SHOW YOU Two’s Strong stance, suit way above the ‘ 2 left ies”…that are running as well for leadership.

    I feel, the in the last 4 weeks, She needs to ” As Derek Sloan ” is doing coming out very strong with lots of HIS Strong positions. Which I Know Leslyn is in favour as well. I as Her Number # 1 supporter.. Any encouraging her to REALLY START FIRING UP HER CAMPAIGN… To Solidify her Victory not only in the first ballot BUT Right through the HER VICTORY Win.. HER Presences am Emails, Etc is SO Necessary. Rita & I would continue to support you more so SO that your Presence is UNSTOPPABLE !!!!!

    You have ALL the desirable Needed agendas to How the Liberals & even O’Toole/ McKay echo. You And Derek are the only grassroots/ social Conservative Sound Choice.. Rita & I are only hope to see more going out to our Members of the Conservative Party who are Voting FOR YOUR Winning FINAL .. & leader of the Federal Conservative Party .. Hurray Dr Gerry Heymans
