Kellie Leitch, an apparent frontrunner in the Conservative Party's leadership race who was thrilled by Donald Trump's presidential victory, is ramping up her controversial campaign rhetoric but rejecting a stamp of approval from a known so-called "alt-right" group in Canada.On Friday, the Council of European Canadians published an article urging its followers to give her a chance.
