One of the three candidates Brad Trost announced on Twitter that he would support for leadership of the Conservative Party is Richard Décarie, a political aide under former Tory leader Stephen Harper while in opposition, who helped run Harper’s Quebec operations.

Trost, a former Saskatchewan MP and Conservative Party leadership candidate who had the support of the social conservatives, says he doesn’t want to name the other two because they haven’t yet announced their candidacy, but the reason he supports them and Décarie is that they’re “good communicators with strong principles.”
