August 2020 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election

O'Toole's team is accusing Mackay's team of stealing internal data and videos.

In its response Mackay's side is saying O'Toole should look at its volunteers.

O'Toole probably searched how the leaked video was given to media. So was there hacking, is there a mole on O'Toole's team ? Being Poirot I like investigations...

Whatever the source, I think it's fair to call this a sign that Mackay's team is besting O'Toole's, and O'Toole knows it.

Ugh, this is agony. They know the result of the instant runoff. Why are they dragging it out announcing every province and each round?

I’m so happy it looks like the party didn’t go back to the PC days and is sticking with Stephen Harper Tories as a party to emulate

Imagine looking at the 2019 election results & thinking that the CPC drifting further right is the best move for them.

Quebec is the problem and the problem is Canada knowtows to them fat too much

That's certainly a ... take.

Truth be told, the Cons didn't have any good options for appealing to Quebec this time around. Maybe in 5-10 years when some of Legault's lieutenants run federally and bring some authentic local support along with them?

In the mean time, this is probably the best news Trudeau could have hoped for.
