Quebec MP Alain Reyes announced on Sept. 13 that he’s leaving the Conservative Party to sit as an Independent, saying his political vision doesn’t allow him to remain under the current direction of the party.
“I respect the choice made by members of the Conservative Party of Canada in the last leadership race. However, some of my political ideals, values and convictions are not compatible with the new path undertaken by our political formation,” said Reyes in a statement posted on Twitter.
