Yukon254, we had much the same experience here during the last election. Pierre Lemieux, our previous Conservative candidate who served in the Harper government was denied the right to run by O’Toole. This was done at the last minute. O’Toole then nominated a Quebec resident to run as the Conservative candidate for Prescott Russell in eastern Ontario. This did not go over well with many Conservative voters, Lemieux was a well liked and respected MP, a part of our community and bringing in an outsider to run cost O’Toole. I am hoping that the next leader has better political judgement.
