O'Toole says he's disappointed with election loss, ducks questions about his future
CBC
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole said Tuesday he's disappointed with his party's performance in an election that returned his Liberal opponents to power with a large plurality of seats in the House of Commons.
Speaking to reporters at a hotel ballroom in Ottawa, O'Toole repeatedly evaded questions about what the party's poor showing could mean for his future as leader.
While O'Toole signalled in his concession speech last night that he'd like to stay on to fight another election, he pivoted to talking points about launching a review of the campaign's missteps when asked today about his place at the top.
O'Toole was asked if he's worried about internal pressure to oust him now.
"I'm the leader of the party that founded this great country and I'm proud of that," he replied.
Another reporter asked if he has the support of his caucus colleagues.
"We are already starting to look at what went right, what went wrong," O'Toole responded.
