. . . One of whom is Brian Mulroney's son and one of whom was advisor to Stephen Harper and then to Doug Ford.
If this is the power being flexed by the 'Campaign Life' group, then we have to assume that any candidate that makes it through to be a delegate in their riding, must be someone who:
opposes abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, assisted reproductive technologies, same-sex marriage, and gender identity legislation.
Wow. I guess we know what Canadians will need to know if they are thinking of voting for a Conservative in the next election.

Will O’Toole see Conservative activists as friend or foe?
t all goes to show that sometimes there can be an uneasy relationship
between conservative ideologues and conservative politicians. They may share the same enemies, but not always the same aims.
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, pictured Dec. 3, 2020, who wants to project himself as a 'centre-right' politician, has made it known that he’s ruled out doing any interviews with the stridently conservative Rebel News. Ezra Levant, meanwhile, claims O’Toole, is 'afraid of the media party' and 'not much of a leader.'
