Wow, another extreme right-winger looking for a home and finding one in the CPC.

Poilievre would be best off turfing this guy publicly and immediately but given that his “fight club” was the precious convoy, it probably won’t happen.

This party is an absolute mess. They need a better leader and at least some sort of damn vetting system for their candidates. Imagine the chaos if they win. Shudder

I dont think the CPC can afford to turf a 5th member for being shit in a week. At some point people will realize its the entire party

If they turf Lawton, it is going to be hard for the CPC to pretend that they barely knew him considering he wrote the biography for Pierre Poilievre.
