O’Leary roasted by rivals but he calls it a “warm welcome”

by  • 

Kevin O’Leary says he feels he received a “warm welcome” in his first Conservative leadership debate, but that welcome came mostly in the form of attacks. It started early in the two-hour face-off during the first question on carbon emissions. Kellie Leitch took her first opportunity at the microphone to welcome O’Leary to the race — sarcastically. “First I’d like to welcome Kevin to the Conservative party and I’d like to welcome him back to Canada,” she said hinting to questions about his past donation to the Liberal party and the amount of time O’Leary spends in the United States. Courtesy CBC.
