OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer’s campaign for prime minister next year will get some star power from businessman Kevin O'Leary, the two said in Toronto Monday.

O‘Leary ran against Scheer for the Conservative party leadership before dropping out and backing Scheer’s main rival Maxime Bernier. But now O’Leary and Scheer have joined forces in hopes of defeating the Liberals in 2019.
