Canadian newspaper confirms Pierre Poilievre and his campaign team paid $37,000 to eliminate his rival, Patrick Brown

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Canadian newspaper confirms Pierre Poilievre and his campaign team paid $37k to eliminate his rival, Patrick Brown.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative leadership campaign paid for the lawyer who helped a whistleblower bring down archrival Patrick Brown, the Star has learned.

The whistleblower’s allegation that Brown broke election law ultimately led to him being disqualified from the race last July, transforming the leadership contest into a coronation for Poilievre, who won a decisive first-ballot victory last September.

Patrick Brown says members of the Conservative Party establishment and supporters of leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre worked to disqualify him from the leadership race because they feared his progressive approach to conservatism was going to win.

“The party establishment was nervous that Pierre Poilievre wasn’t going to win. And his supporters, Pierre Poilievre’s supporters, are the ones behind this disqualification,” Brown told host Vassy Kapelos on CBC News Network’s Power & Politics Wednesday.

“They know we brought in 150,000 very motivated new Conservatives from diverse communities. They wanted to take the party in a different version, a different path, than his version of extreme conservatism.”
