(LifeSiteNews) – MP Dr. Leslyn Lewis officially announced Tuesday that she will be running for leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, saying people are “desperate” for hope and are calling for “unity.”
Lewis formally announced her run via Twitter, writing, “I’m running to lead our party and our country based on Hope, Unity and Compassion.”
Her Twitter post included a video clip of a speech she gave recently in the House of Commons. Her speech spoke of how Canadians, in the face of tyrannical government overreach at the hands of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his overuse of the Emergencies Act (EA), need hope now more than ever.
LifeSiteNews on Monday learned from a CPC insider that Lewis was planning on running once again for party leadership. Tuesday’s news confirms what the insider told LifeSiteNews.
On her official website, which was just launched, Lewis wrote that the “past two years have seen the Liberal government divide, discourage and refuse to listen to Canadians.”
“Sadly, we have seen a movement away from respect for our constitution and human freedoms like freedom of conscience, speech and religion,” she added.
