A former Conservative is accusing party brass of blocking him from running to be nominated as a candidate in the next election.
Anthony Yacub, 24, said he believes the party made him ineligible for the nomination in order to run a “star” candidate in his riding, currently held by Liberal MP Jennifer O’Connell.
“it’s a real slap in the face to grassroots people,” he told CBC News. “What does it say to them? It basically says, ‘We don’t really care what you think.'”
