Only at the Star – Erin O’Toole promised to remake the Conservative party. So why are his MPs so white and male?
OTTAWA—Efforts by Erin O’Toole to show voters he is not running their grandfather’s Conservatives appear to have nonetheless resulted in a party that looks almost exactly as it has for generations.
Despite fielding what the Conservatives said was the most diverse slate of candidates in their party’s history, only one new MP from a racialized community was elected, and preliminary results suggest five racialized incumbents went down to defeat.
That leaves the Conservative caucus overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male.
And that’s also leaving many in the party absolutely furious.
I bet.
