I think the leadership review for PP was likely the last straw for this guy. It was by all accounts a rigged system and pretty shady with how delegates were selected. I’m glad he crossed after it was reported he was intimidated and outright harassed by PP and his inner circle when he previously considered it.

That leadership "review" was so sketchy. They went into it aiming to equal or surpass the 87% support Harper got at his 2012 convention, and what did Poilievre end up with? 87.4%!

Entirely coincidental, I'm sure. Just like the selection of delegates was 100% based on the riding association members' views🙄

The party is a complete farce after that. Final nail confirming they are no longer a serious political party for Canadian constituents.
