Political campaigns are anything but democratic. BC Dipper's have gone so far as to pick certain ridings that only women can run in.
With Brown being out, the way is now clear for the PCs to go after Wynne. Brown is no longer a liability.

Patrick Brown drops out of Ontario PC leadership race over fallout from sexual misconduct allegations
'I simply can not run a provincial party leadership campaign ... while at the same time continuing my fight to prove that the allegations are lies'
by Tom Blackwell, National Post
Patrick Brown announced Monday he is pulling out of the Ontario Progressive Conservative race, citing the attacks that his friends and family have endured during his brief candidacy, and a need to fight what he calls “slanderous” allegations of sexual misconduct.
Sources on his campaign earlier claimed he and his family have faced death threats and other forms of harassment, and that his mother has been hospitalized because of stress.
Brown’s decision caps a bizarre, roller-coaster few weeks for the party, beginning with his resignation as leader last month, then a dramatic decision to enter the contest to fill his old job.
The campaign’s internal polling, released to the Post, suggested that Brown was doing surprisingly well, showing him tied for the first-ballot lead with former legislative member Christine Elliott and apparently gaining strength.
But in a statement issued late Monday afternoon, Brown said he could not continue as a candidate, given his efforts to refute the “horror” of false misconduct charges, and the toll that vying for the leadership has taken on those close to him. As well, he said his situation posed too much of a distraction from the party’s push to replace the Liberal government with a “pragmatic, moderate, fiscally responsible alternative.”
“I can no longer stand as a candidate in our party’s leadership race,” he said in the message posted on his Twitter account.
“I simply can not run a provincial party leadership campaign and, if successful, square off against (Premier) Kathleen Wynne in the most important election in a generation, while at the same time continuing my fight to prove that the allegations are lies.”
Vic Fedeli, who took over as the interim Conservative leader after Brown’s resignation Jan. 24 and has been critical of Brown’s tenure in the job, welcomed the announcement Monday.
“I want to thank Patrick Brown for making the right decision for himself and the Ontario PC Party,” Fedeli said. “He is right to focus on clearing his name.”
The rest here.

Having maximized the damage that he could do to the PC Party, Brown steps away from the leadership race one more time, flush with the satisfaction of a job well done!
" I want to thank Patrick Brown for making the right decision for himself and the Ontario PC Party,” he said while handing Patrick a loaded Luger.

Brown was screwed by criminals. This has dick to do with democracy.
Brown was trying to stop money laundering through the OLG and the great Canadian Gaming corporation. CRIME Money is being laundered through these casinos.
(for example River Rock Casino).

Exclusive: How B.C. casinos are used to launder millions in drug cash
BCLC and B.C. gaming policy enforcement branch documents say that information revealed by the RCMP’s investigation into Jin and Silver led them to suspect the funds are tied to “transnational drug trafficking … (that) could have a potentially devastating impact on the casino industry.”
In the E-Pirate raids, RCMP seized 132 computers and cellphones, yielding 30 terabytes in data. If all that digital evidence were printed on paper, it would fill almost three million thick telephone books. And ledgers suggest that in only one year, Silver laundered $220 million in cash in B.C., and sent over $300 million offshore, according to Ward.
“This is huge,” one police officer, who was not authorized to be identified, said of the case’s expected impact. “This could change money laundering in B.C.”

I hear a lot about money being laundered through casinos but never could figure out how that determination was made. If I had some money to launder I would just feed it into a machine. How the hell could they tell where it came from? I can see where there could be situations where they could be suspicious, how the hell could they prove it?
Patrick Brown is a bit of a weird duck methinks, so maybe it's a case of good riddance! Handling adversity isn't his long suit.
