Seventeen minutes of the event were livestreamed April 1. Meanwhile Brown, a former MP and leader of Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives, has been criss-crossing the country, making his case to rooms of sometimes as few as 20.Ī glimpse into his strategy can be found in videos shared on Facebook by those who attended such events, including a meeting Brown had with Muslim community members in British Columbia. His main rival, Pierre Poilievre, is drawing crowds by the thousands. He is courting them, along with other immigrant and racialized Canadians, to buy party memberships as the clock ticks down to a June 3 deadline for leadership candidates to sign up new members.

We built ports not to idle oil ships in our ports until we find the dollars to pay for them.
