ALT I've had a few people reach out about Eugene Manning's NL Progressive Conservative leadership campaign as I was apart of the team. I just want to let you all know that I have stepped away. I agree with the Manning campaign on many issues, however, my political ideology and vision are different than theirs. I believe in being transparent and not having to defend my values for the company I or my close network keep. Therefore, I cannot support any association with the CPC as a queer man and as an advocate of 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. Pierre's recent remarks on Policy 713 in New Brunswick and his decision to pose for a picture with someone while wearing a "straight pride shirt" this past week in Calgary has helped lead me to this decision. I have been clear from day one that I am a moderate and not a member of the Conservative Party of Canada under Pierre Poilievre's leadership. Greg Smith July 13th 2023 St. John's NL
