On February 2nd, 2022, Erin O’Toole was removed as Conservative Party leader by a vote of 73-45. On September 10th, 2022, the party will appointed his successor. Over seven months will have lapsed between the dates.
CAP has always wondered why such a long period of time was selected before choosing a new party leader. After witnessing media treatment of potential candidates, we have drawn a conclusion.
The purpose is to ruin the chances of Pierre Poilievre winning the nomination. Far ahead in the polls, Mr. Poilievre is the “people’s choice.” That’s fine, but the candidate has a huge problem on his hands. By undermining the Liberal status quo, Poilievre has made enemies of those who control Canadian politics.
Gosh that last bit sounds familiar.
