Long-time conservative, government MP Eve Adams, joins opposition Liberals

A Conservative government MP and parliamentary secretary, Eve Adams, accompanied by the leader of the opposition Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau, announced she has left the Conservatives, and will be running for the Liberals in this year’s federal election.

At a Monday morning (February 9) press conference Adams said “I can no longer support mean-spirited leadership that divides people, instead of bringing them together…I want to work with someone who inspires, not with fear-mongerers and bullies.”
