    The Ontario PC Party is broken and Patrick Brown's return wouldn't have fixed it

    Ever since Patrick Brown first stepped down as leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservative party in January, more arrows have been fired at him than were used to defend him.

    Patrick Brown gets the green light to enter PC leadership race

    The committee okayed his application. I think the party exec are giving him a shot, so they will not be accused of trying to torpedo him. They want the party members to reject him in favour of another. --- Patrick Brown gets the green light to enter PC leadership race Former Progressive...

    Accusations that Patrick Brown accepted free trips and did not report income

    This is only after the first day back from the holiday. Hillier obviously doesn't like Brown. Does he have the evidence necessary to bury Brown? If this goes on much longer, the PCs will not manage a win in June. The in-fighting is not good for them. I imagine Wynne is laughing. I think we'd...

    Ontario voters divided on Brown's entry into PC leadership race: poll

    I don't know how accurate a poll with only 949 respondents can be, but here it is. The NDP and Liberals haven't really started campaigning yet. The accusations against Brown will be used by other parties when the election ramps up. Considering Wynne's record, and the number of people who...

    Was Patrick Brown Rejected by the PCs? Could he get the Liberals re-elected?

    I have never believed that Patrick Brown was the best choice as leader of the PCs, but he carried the day in 2015. In the three years since, it's apparent that the core of the party didn't care for the direction he was trying to take them. Some PC party members believe that his departure will...

    Carbon tax divides rivals for Ontario PC leadership

    Rob Ford's brother is popular with the Toronto crowd. He doesn't want a carbon tax. That will widen his popularity to other parts of the province. The other two candidates might be committing political suicide saying that they would even consider it. --- Carbon tax divides rivals for Ontario...

    Patrick Brown Resigns as Ontario's PC Leader

    It seems like the easy way to get rid of a politician or anyone else who you do not like. Personally, I do not like Patrick Brown, but this kind of allegation is shameful. I hope that if these accusations are proven false, the individuals so far unnamed (ain't that a kicker?) will be sued...
