A new political party in Ontario seeking to establish itself as a more conservative alternative to the ruling Progressive Conservatives has announced it has hired Donald Trump’s former advisor Roger Stone as a campaign advisor.
“Roger Stone, a man synonymous with successful conservative political campaigns in the United States, most famously Donald Trump’s 2016 upset victory, has signed on to work for the Ontario Party as their Senior Strategic Advisor,” said a statement issued by the party on April 25.
Ontario Party Leader Derek Sloan said in a statement the same day that Stone’s insights “as a seasoned veteran of hard-nosed politics” will be “invaluable” to the party’s campaign.
