Celebrity businessman and reality TV star Kevin O'Leary will officially enter the Conservative leadership race on Wednesday.
The move will come just hours after the first French-language all-candidates debate ends in Quebec City — an event that O'Leary has been accused of dodging by not declaring his candidacy earlier.
The Montreal-born O'Leary told CJAD 800's Leslie Roberts last week that his French was definitely not up to snuff, but he pledged he would make an effort to learn it.
