An independent Ontario legislator, who rose to prominence for speaking out against COVID-19 lockdowns, says he will run for Conservative leadership.

Roman Baber will launch his campaign Wednesday evening, and says he considers himself to be the underdog in the party’s contest, competing against well-known federal Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre and Leslyn Lewis.
