ONTARIO PROUD ON FEDERAL SCENE

    A conservative political advocacy group that was instrumental in taking down the Liberals in Ontario is going national, aiming to do to Justin Trudeau what it did to Kathleen Wynne.

"We don't take orders from anyone," Ballingall said in an interview.
   He insisted Ontario Proud, which has sister organizations in British Columbia and Alberta, is pro-Conservative only to the extent that it is "the lesser of evils."
   "Obviously, we have our own proclivity for smaller government, more responsible government, for stronger national defence," he said.
   "So obviously that aligns more with the Conservatives but it's not like we're rah-rah pro-Conservative; we're just mostly (saying), 'We need to stop Justin Trudeau because he's bad for Canada.'"
