Front-runners clash in first unofficial leadership debate of Conservative campaign

Conservatives are in a mood to fight — with each other
They're forgetting that today's personal attacks become tomorrow's attack ads
"If we can't go out and speak to Canadians in all parts of the country and make sure that we are trustworthy, that we don't scare them … every time I hear a Conservative talk about some conspiracy theory, I realize that there's another group of swing voters in the [Greater Toronto Area] that just are not going to come our way," Aitchison said.
"Because all we do is yell and scream at each other. We're witnessing it now."
Aitchison, a little-known backbencher, is trying to carve out a niche as the reasonable candidate. While he's very unlikely to win this race, he might come away from it having boosted his personal brand.
And if the Conservative Party loses another federal election in 2025, he might be able to say he tried to warn his fellow partisans.
But Conservatives just might not be interested in being calm and measured right now. That would at least explain the scene on Thursday when the five candidates staged what was probably the most aggressive intra-party debate in recent memory.
A debate that became a brawl
It was Pierre Poilievre who set the tone for this leadership campaign with his early decision to lob rhetorical bombs at Jean Charest and Patrick Brown. But it was Charest who fired the first shot Thursday night with an attack on the Conservative Party's promise in 2015 to establish a "barbaric cultural practices" tip line — something that Charest said was still costing the party votes in 2021.
Charest wasn't involved with the Conservative campaign in 2015, of course. But Poilievre was.
A moment later, Leslyn Lewis decided to accuse Poilievre of being insufficiently supportive of the trucker convoy that laid siege to Ottawa in February and inspired blockades of border crossings in other parts of the country. Poilievre quibbled with Lewis's account and then pivoted to attacking Charest's argument that Poilievre had been too supportive of the convoy.
WATCH: Conservative leadership candidates trade blows over the convoy protests
Poilievre next accused Charest of running a scandal-plagued government in Quebec. Lewis said the other candidates — particularly Poilievre — were refusing to be clear about their positions on abortion. Charest criticized Poilievre for ignoring Preston Manning's call for the candidates to avoid personal attacks.
Poilievre and Charest battled over the latter's record as premier and then Poilievre demanded to know how much Charest had been paid by Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant. When Poilievre wouldn't stop interrupting Charest ("How much? How much?") Charest shot back — "We're not on a student council, Pierre."
Poilievre and Charest battled over the latter's record as premier and then Poilievre demanded to know how much Charest had been paid by Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant. When Poilievre wouldn't stop interrupting Charest ("How much? How much?") Charest shot back — "We're not on a student council, Pierre."
WATCH: Poilievre goads Charest over Huawei
Charest then made a point of noting that Poilievre had refused to say whether a federal government led by him would intervene against Quebec's Bill 21 if a legal challenge of the law reached the Supreme Court.
Patrick Brown, who was not in attendance, ended up being criticized by both Poilievre and one of the debate's moderators.
Parties used to avoid internal conflict
It was in the middle of all this that Aitchison made his appeal for calm — which apparently offended Lewis.
"When you speak about conspiracy theories, there were a lot of quote-unquote conspiracy theories that came true. And the Liberals actually used that to divide us. So I'm really surprised that you're here saying we should unite when you're labelling your fellow Conservatives as conspiracy theorists," said Lewis, who wrote an op-ed for the National Post in October 2020 that claimed a "socialist coup" was afoot.
WATCH: Charest denies Poilievre's claim that he's not a real Conservative
Conventional wisdom in Canadian politics — at least since the Liberal leadership race in 2006 — says that leadership candidates should temper their public criticisms of each other. A Conservative attack ad that used a clip of a debate exchange between Michael Ignatieff and Stéphane Dion showed how such disagreements could end up being used against a party.
But Poilievre has always embraced political conflict as a virtue. In this case it's likely an implicit part of his campaign's argument — that if you're a Conservative Party member, you can watch what Poilievre is doing to Charest and imagine what he'd do to Justin Trudeau.
Conservative leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis speaks about leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre as Jean Charest and Scott Aitchison look on during a debate at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa on May 5, 2022. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)
Conservatives have now lost three elections to Trudeau, a prime minister for whom they hold special animus. Their last failed leader promised to be a "true blue" conservative and then overturned a decade of party orthodoxy by acknowledging that putting a price on carbon is an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
And it's also been a long two years — for everyone — of living with a pandemic.
Conservatives aren't just mad with each other
So maybe it's not surprising they're feeling a little agitated — a feeling that extends to targets beyond the current leadership race.
There's Justin Trudeau, taxes and government regulation, of course. But candidates like Poilievre, Lewis and Baber pointed last night to other alleged threats and sources of unhappiness: vaccine mandates, public health restrictions, "cancel culture," "wokeism," "censorship," the "elites," the "liberal media" and the CBC. Not to be outdone, the moderators also lamented the effects of the "legacy media" and the "ivory tower commentariat."
Opposing that list were the things the candidates professed to like, such as conservative principles, consistency and "freedom." The phrase "climate change" didn't pass anyone's lips during the debate, but there was lots of enthusiasm for increasing production of oil and gas and building pipelines.
If the Canadian public is feeling angry in 2025, the Conservative Party might find itself in a good position to be a voice for those feelings.
That's assuming Conservatives are still able to stand each other when this race is over, of course.
At the outset of Thursday's debate and then again at its conclusion, Charest notably avoided shaking Poilievre's hand — a reminder, perhaps, that sometimes people take these things personally.

Call to Action
As we continue
to engage the Conservative Party for specifics on their reasons for
deeming our campaign ineligible please see the email below that was sent
by Jack Fonseca, a Director at the CLC to his community. It outlines a
number of actions you can take to help demand that the Conservative
Party revisit its decision as it offends the democratic process and the
good will of many Canadians and members of the CPC. Your continued
support by voicing your objection to their ruling is appreciated.
Demand an inquiry and proof that the campaign did not meet both
financial goals that were set.
We continue to stand by asserting that my voice for Truth, Transparency
and Real Conversations should be part of this summer's leadership run. -

The red Tory swamp strikes back
On behalf of CLC, I’d like to thank you for your generous response to our last-minute donation appeals on behalf of pro-life, pro-family CPC leadership hopefuls Grant Abraham and Marc Dalton.
Thanks to the strong response by CLC supporters, Grant Abraham raised the full $300,000 entry fee to get on the ballot, plus 598 nomination signatures.
Unfortunately, MP Marc Dalton raised only $200,000 in the end, and did not make the cut.
So, on Friday evening, our team here at CLC was pretty excited that 3 out of our 4 endorsed candidates made it onto the final ballot, including Grant Abraham, Joseph Bourgault and Leslyn Lewis.
However, that excitement turned to outrage when, on Sunday evening, we learned that Grant Abraham received notice from the party that he allegedly did NOT meet the financial requirements, in spite of having raised the stated $300K buy-in fee and having obtained the required signatures by the 5pm deadline on April 29th.
This did not make sense so we started to ask questions to our contacts in the party.
What they told us is that the party tacked onto the total donations a 15% “administration fee” that candidates would have to obtain on top of the $300,000, making the real total that a candidate had to raise $345K or even $353K, depending how it’s calculated!
Abraham is appealing the decision given the false advertising by the party, which always communicated $300K as the fee to get on the final ballot, and never any other amount.
An even more outrageous disqualification was that of Joseph Bourgault who had submitted almost $400K and more than 1,000 signatures by the April 29th deadline.
As with Abraham, the party claimed he did not meet the $300K buy-in fee. We’ve learned that Bourgault will also be appealing this ridiculous decision.
Something else we’ve discovered is that the party will be keeping at least the first $200,000 of the buy-in fee from each candidate. This money will not be refunded to donors, like you, even though your preferred candidate was blocked from running.
I have no doubt whatsoever that if the red Tory establishment swamp could get away with disqualifying Leslyn Lewis, they would've done it to her too.
However, Lewis is too high profile owing to her previous leadership run, and too popular among party members. The party elites know that the backlash for disqualifying Dr. Lewis would be too great, so they have no choice but to let her compete.
We hope that Bourgault and Abraham will appeal these disqualifications and win, in court if necessary, because it's totally unfair and undemocratic.
CLC is grateful that Dr. Lewis herself spoke out against the disqualification of Bourgault and Abraham, saying on Twitter:
Conservatives have always accused the Liberals of being the party of corruption and anti-democracy. That accusation has now come home to roost in the CPC party.
One of the pillars of the CPC, and of the broader “small-c” conservative movement, is democracy – letting the people, not the elites, decide who should represent them. Therefore, this sort of Cancel Culture has no business in the Conservative Party.
In the end, if Bourgault and Abraham are unsuccessful in their appeals, Campaign Life Coalition will do its best to ensure that Leslyn Lewis is victorious as the only green-lit, pro-lifer of the six “verified” candidates.
Unless the party reverses its decision about the falsely disqualified socon candidates, that “final” ballot listing will include Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest, Patrick Brown, Scott Aitchison, and Roman Baber.
Poilievre, Charest, Brown, and Aitchison are all red-light-rated candidates who do not deserve a #2 ranking when it comes to voting time, owing to their support for abortion and LGBT ideology.
CLC is still in the process of evaluating Baber, and it’s possible he may end up with a yellow-light rating, although that has not yet been finalized.
We know it’s tempting to be so disgusted with the red Tory swamp and their continual efforts to purge social conservatives from the party, but please do not give up your seat at the table.
You must stay engaged to preserve our collective voice as a pro-life, pro-family, pro-faith movement. We must stay at the table in order to support Leslyn Lewis, even if she ends up the only social conservative in the race.
If you are a CPC member, you can express your disappointment to the Party by contacting the members of its Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) and requesting that they reinstate Bourgault and Abraham on the ballot, without delay.

Anti-abortion activists claim corruption after Tories bar social

Anti-abortion activists claim corruption after Tories bar social conservative from leadership race
Six candidates will be on the final ballot, including Pierre Poilievre and Jean Charest
In a social media post, the party said Conservative MPs Scott Aitchison, Leslyn Lewis and Pierre Poilievre, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, former Quebec premier Jean Charest and Independent Ontario MPP Roman Baber have been accepted by the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) as "verified" candidates. That means they have at least $300,000 to pay a series of entry fees and 500 endorsement signatures from members in 30 different ridings.
Three candidates — Joel Etienne, a commercial lawyer from Toronto, Joseph Bourgault, a Saskatchewan business owner and B.C.'s Grant Abraham, a consultant — will not appear on the final ballot, despite their claims that they met the party's requirements to be considered "verified."
But candidates need more than money and signatures to advance.
According to the party's leadership election rules, the Leadership Candidate Nomination Committee (LCNC), the group of party stalwarts reviewing applications from would-be candidates, can also rely on "any other information they see fit to ascertain the suitability of an applicant." The LCNC can, in turn, recommend to LEOC that a particular candidate be barred from running.
Bourgault, the president and CEO of Bourgault Tillage Tools, is a social conservative who was strongly endorsed by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), an anti-abortion group that has long sought to pull the party to the right on social issues.
In addition to his anti-abortion credentials, Bourgault was a member of the so-called Freedom Convoy and participated in protests against COVID-related measures like vaccine mandates on Parliament Hill earlier this year.

In a letter to supporters last week, Jack Fonseca, the director of political operations for the CLC, said it was crucial to get Bourgault and at least two other candidates — Conservative MP Marc Dalton and Abraham — into the race to advance a "pro-family" agenda within the party.
Those efforts appear to have failed — the only "so con" candidate still in the running is Lewis.
In a social media post, Abraham's campaign said the candidate was told Sunday he has been "deemed ineligible" by the party.
Abraham has criticized Conservative MPs for failing to stop Bill C-4, the Liberal government's ban on conversion therapy. He has also called for a return to a "Judeo-Christian framework" in Canada and an end to secularism.
"Grant has responded to the party with a communication asking for a detailed justification of their decision," Abraham's campaign said, adding it will "question the ruling" and provide an update to supporters.
Reached by phone Monday, Fonseca said blocking some social conservatives from the final ballot "looks like skullduggery."
'They're corrupt'
"It's another lynching of social conservatives. They're trying to cancel us and it's a total disgrace. This is what Red Tories do. Red Tories cheat. They're dishonest and they don't like to play fair. They're corrupt," Fonseca told CBC News.
"It's the same kind of corruption the party used to disqualify Jim Karahalios and Richard Décarie the last time — they don't like their views and that's why Bourgault is out, despite whatever excuses they'll say publicly," he added, referring to two social conservative candidates who were barred from running in the last leadership election.
Bourgault did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Fonseca said any attempt by the Conservative Party to "purge" itself of social conservatives would hurt its electoral fortunes in the next campaign.
He said some anti-abortion activists could jump to another party that is seen as more welcoming to their cause.

"We have the corrupt Red Tory establishment disqualifying 'so cons' left and right because they can get away with it and they're destroying the party in the process. It's just pushing people into the arms of Maxime Bernier and the People's Party and they think they're wonderful for doing so," Fonseca said.
Fonseca said the People's Party's relative success in the last federal election — Bernier and his candidates secured about five per cent of the national vote — was due to a number of ardently conservative voters who were tired of what he called "Liberal-lite" policies.
He said the anti-abortion movement's last hope in this leadership race is Lewis, a candidate who has promised to table a suite of social conservative measures if she ever makes it to the Prime Minister's Office. Lewis has said she wants a ban on "sex-selective" abortions and criminal penalties for "coercive" abortions.

"If they could take Leslyn Lewis out, they would. But she's too high-profile and too well liked by party members. They know it would totally destroy the party if they did that. She's the only one we can trust," Fonseca said.
Speaking to Radio-Canada, CBC's French-language service, Etienne, the other rejected candidate, said he personally delivered the required paperwork to the party's Ottawa office last Friday at 2 p.m., well before the LEOC-imposed deadline.
He said he was told subsequently that the party wouldn't accept a credit card as payment for some of the necessary fees.
Etienne also said the party rejected some of the signatures he collected as "invalid," but he hasn't been told why.
In a statement, Wayne Benson, the party's executive director, said the decision to block a particular candidate "was based on the requirements set out under the rules, not any prospective candidate's political beliefs."
"Any prospective candidate who did not meet the requirements was informed of this fact and the reason or reasons why they did not meet the requirements set out under the rules," Benson said.
