With the CPC in desperate need of leadership, yet it’s base at wits-end, it’s hard to see how the base stands united moving forward. Conservatives are too busy arguing over which candidate is not a liberal, as the threat of further division looms. We have two federal conservative parties and neither can take on the cult of Trudeau at the present time. While conservatives have a knack for rebranding every so often, the Liberal Party. Liberals only have one shade of red. While Trudeau is the author of many embarrassing mistakes, the party stands by his leadership, as a united front. Those who did not tow the company line faced disciplinary action were marginalized from party ranks, and eventually banished from caucus. Case in point, Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott.

This morning Justice Perell, on Jim Karahalios’ lawsuit against the Conservative Party of Canada, ruled in favour of Karahalios and invalidated his disqualification from the Conservative leadership race. Justice Parell wrote, “I declare that the DRAC Decision Of March 18, 2020, to disqualify Mr. Karahalios’ as a candidate for the Conservative Party leadership was invalid, and I set aside the [Dispute Resolution Appeals Committee] (DRAC) Decision.” Karahalios announced some of the details in a campaign email and on Twitter shortly after the decision was handed down in the morning. He reaffirmed his position that the CPC should not be deciding who should and should not be in the leadership race and that membership should determine who they want as a leader through a vote.
