Conservative Party of Canada MPs have voted to remove Erin O’Toole as the party leader. Some 73 of 119 CPC members voted against Mr. O’Toole. The decision has again revealed the national divide between middle-of-the-road conservatives in Eastern Canada and Alberta-first members who are further to the right. It’s a gulf that Stephen Harper bridged and the CPC will need a leader equally popular to regain unity. Issues like gun control and abortion bedevil the CPC.
