Patrick Brown disqualified from Conservative leadership race

Looks like they want to crown Pollivre the new leader. It says they choose a leader in September, but I think they have already chosen one. And to lose a fifth election in a row.

Smells shady af. The CPC really wants to ride the Pollieve train to another crushing defeat.

Brown alleges political corruption over Conservative leadership disqualification

It's very telling how the CPC says he wasn't following the rules, but won't say which rules.

The source was working with the Brown team. He's done.

From some early reports I saw, Brown was actually trying to recreate Jason Kenney's "curry in a hurry" success in reaching out to immigrants and racial minorities, which helped Stephen Harper win from 2006 to 2011. I don't know how successful that would have been in winning the leadership, given that so much of the membership seems to want to focus on the "angry base."

But according to this National Post article, Brown has a long history at all three levels of government of dodgy allegations:



Links are available at the article itself, which also mentions Brown being accused of sexual harassment. And then there's the fact that Michelle Rempel Garner, who made the news recently for decrying the venom both federal and Alberta provincial conservatives were throwing at each other, quit as co-chair of Brown's leadership campaign right before his campaign manager left too. Officially, Garner and the campaign manager left to consider a run for the Alberta UCP leadership, but her subsequent statements about the state of the conservative movement make me wonder what other reasons she might have had for quitting Brown's campaign.
