Scheer’s opponents cite several factors for the general queasiness. Some blame his leadership style, which funnelled downward to his lacklustre campaign. Others note his views on abortion and absence from Pride Parades as concerning. Further to the east, it was his lack of appeal amongst Quebec voters.
