The man who helped reshape Newfoundland and Labrador’s political landscape has been hired to try to do the same in Ottawa.
Steve Outhouse, the co-chair of the PC campaign in the provincial election, has been lured to Ottawa by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to be the party’s next campaign manager.

Poilievre, who spent the weekend in Newfoundland and Labrador, says he and Outhouse share many of the same concerns, especially when it comes to affordability.
“The clincher for me is that I called Steve up and said ‘what do you think needs to happen for Canada?’ he said ‘well, I’ve got kids who can’t afford a home, and they want to have a family close to home, but they can’t afford it.'”
Outhouse is currently involved in Premier Tony Wakeham’s transition team.
