A @CPC_HQ executive just gave me a glimpse behind the curtain. The party has been in turmoil for a year, divided between convoy conservatives & classic conservatives.
But the leadership race turned the rivalry into a calculated cheating exercise. They manipulated the process.
So egregious was the pro-Poilievre side that they sandbagged the other campaigns with trivial processes, impossible deadlines, and in Patrick Brown's case a trumped up charge that they refused to elaborate on.
They wanted Jodoin's name secret for a week longer. This is why Jean Charest's team hired her then fired her, because they had no idea she was the "whistleblower" b/c the upper brass wanted her anonymity in place so they could sewer Charest next.
