and then there were 5 in the CPC leadership race!
Patrick Brown - current mayor of Brampton since 2018; former leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario; Ontario's Leader of the Official Opposition from 2015 to 2018, joins the race already populated by:
- former federal Progressive Conservative leader Jean Charest; former Quebec Premier
- Ontario CPC MP Pierre Poilievre
- Ontario CPC MP Leslyn Lewis
- Ontario Independent MPP Roman Baber
and 'out of the chute' comes the Poilievre campaign advisor Jenni Byrne with an attack ad: '
Patrick Brown will say and do anything'
