Kevin O’Leary called a number of leadership candidates before dropping out of the Conservative leadership race and endorsing Maxime Bernier.

One day after O’Leary pulled out of the race, the CBC reported that O’Leary met with Andrew Scheer before throwing his weight behind Bernier. But in addition to Scheer, O’Leary spoke with Kellie Leitch’s and Erin O’Toole’s respective campaigns.

Leitch’s campaign spokesman Michael Diamond confirmed that O’Leary was “definitely in touch with Kellie” and he recalls the phone conversation occurring roughly one week before O’Leary dropped out.

Diamond, who was not a part of the telephone conversation, said O’Leary was “fishing to see what her intention was.”

Diamond said Leitch made it clear that she’s going to be a candidate until all of the ballots are counted, adding that she’s “in it to win it.”

A source close to O’Toole’s campaign said, “O’Leary’s campaign called the O’Toole camp days before he suspended his campaign.”

“The O’Toole campaign advised them that O’Leary had no path to victory because his negatives were so incredibly high. Which I guess is why even Max called O’Leary a loser,” the source said.

O’Leary’s spokesman Ari Laskin confirmed that O’Leary was in touch with Scheer. Laskin has yet to confirm that O’Leary was in touch with other campaigns.

Other leadership camps, including those of Lisa Raitt, Michael Chong, Brad Trost, Chris Alexander and Rick Peterson, confirmed that they did not hear from O’Leary.

Andrew Saxton wrote in a press release in April that rival candidates “urged” him to drop out, but he could not be reached for a comment.
