It shouldn’t baffle you. The right controls the riding associations. In Canadian politics it’s the activists that make up the membership. The conservatives even have tried to limit the affect by having riding weighted leadership votes to give Ontario and Quebec influence. But in the end the party membership that votes controls the leadership. The activists in the party boot leaders that aren’t pure enough for them.
The end result of that is Otoole being knifed for PP. They can’t move to represent the centre because they will be removed.
