Richard Décarie, a largely unknown former political aide to Stephen
Harper while he was in opposition, is attempting to carve out a niche as
the social conservative standard-bearer in the race to replace Andrew Scheer as Tory leader.
In an interview with CTV’s “Power Play”

oppose same-sex marriage, a position he said is shared by the “real
people” he meets.
