He was Conservative non grata after the carbon tax fiasco, so eh, thanks China!
Explosive internal Conservative Party emails obtained by The Bureau reveal that on August 26, 2021, a senior party official expressed concern over then-leader Erin O’Toole’s breakthrough in the polls — the first time the Conservatives inched ahead of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. This same Ontario-based Chinese Canadian official would later spearhead a petition against O’Toole following the party’s election defeat, while a group of Conservatives simultaneously accused him of alienating Chinese diaspora voters, ultimately contributing to his removal as leader.
Just days before, on August 23, 2021, pollster Nik Nanos described the election as a “dead heat” in his analysis. “You’ve got to be disappointed if you happen to be a supporter of the Liberals,” Nanos said. “Now the race is on.” By August 26, O’Toole had pulled ahead — a development that prompted suspicious criticism among a subset of Conservative Party officials.
According to The Bureau’s review of emails between Conservative national councillors, a message dated August 26, 2021, shows the Chinese Canadian official voicing concern over reactions to O’Toole’s climb in the polls. The chain began with an internal email titled “Nanos Polling Results Last Night.” One Conservative member wrote, “Erin O’Toole is resonating with the voters for sure, many have made positive comments… I wasn’t getting that in 2019!”[…]
The Bureau can further confirm that this official was removed from the party after an internal investigation found violations, including interference in nomination contests — a breach of party rules requiring strict neutrality from national councillors.
A Conservative source familiar with O’Toole’s campaign and the subsequent investigation said the findings suggested the Chinese Canadian official “broke neutrality in a nomination race.”
“In addition, it is now becoming clearer that was also a complex way to support candidates that won’t take a hardline on China,” the source suggested. “Given what else we know, a much bigger picture is emerging.”[…]
Meanwhile, Conservative Party members have informed The Bureau that pro-Beijing networks appear to be targeting several Conservative nomination races in Vancouver and Toronto, as leader Pierre Poilievre seems poised to capitalize on the collapse of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — which has been challenged by reports suggesting Trudeau turned a blind eye to Chinese election interference that endangers Canada’s sovereignty.
Canada is a place where only far right whitey is a threat.
Everybody else is “diverth” and cannot be charged for treason and or terrorism.
How many of those United Front Po-po stations saw arrests made?
Next up we’ll see the Muslims going after PP because he supports Israel.

PP will likely have to sacrifice a few ridings to the LPC/NDP blob if he wants to keep CCP drones out of his caucus.
Well it seems there was a reason many years ago that our Canadian ancestors had an exclusionary policy against Chinese immigration. Seems our elders knew way back then a thing or two about the “Celestials” that we are now learning about today.
It was because they were racist and stupid and we are poorer for it today. You’re going to have lots of Asian neighbors get over it.
Thank you China for keeping O’Toole out of office. Canada dodged a big one on that election. O’Toole would have destroyed the conservatives for a generation which would have allowed the liberals to remain dominant as the Conservatives would have reduced to non party status. Yes O’Toole was that bad.
I did not think it was possible to be worse than Scheer. Not A-Aron O’Toole sure showed me!
O’Toole was an Elon cyber truck set to go splodey inside the Conservative Party if he won.
Bully for China. Getting rid of O’Toole was good and getting rid of Sinophobic MPs is also good. We’re going to need lots of trade with China as the US goes insane and then poor.
Hey Unme, have you seen the recent polling. It has the libs at single digits and the dippers getting ready to get tossed also. Hard to be one of those cultish socialist right now isn’t it. Snicker, giggle, chortle..
The fckn Chinks lost 19 trillion – that’s USD you pustule – in real estate madness.
They have 80 million empty housing units.

UnMe the Idiot Intellectual talks about free this and open that while fellating Eleven and his command economy.
You’re consistently inconsistent because you’re mentally ill.
I’d rather have too much housing than too little. In any event, trade with China and all is a part of leaving behind command economies like the one Trump is trying to turn America into.
Better to sell our country to a command economy i.e. communist China, eh?
I thought O’Toole was removed as leader because he was a dolt. I do respect him for his service in the CAF but he was from that strain of conservatives that has been letting down the country for a couple of generations.
O’Foole was a Liberal agent. That flip flop on stylish guns tanked him overnight.
