Decarie, who believes being LGBTQ is a choice and the government should defund abortion, had submitted the required application, fee and nomination signatures to run in the contest by Thursday's deadline.Party spokesman Cory Hann says he can't say specifically why Decarie wasn't allowed to run.
Brad Trost, a former leadership candidate himself who had been helping Decarie, says the campaign was blindsided by the news. It came in the form of a list released today by the party naming the eight official candidates now in the race.
He was never a serious contender.

Can't have someone spouting what they REALLY believe. It didn't work well for Max so twice shy.
Staged like a false flag attack to re-brand the CPC as progressives in contrast. He was never a real candidate. More sycophantic centrists for the plutocrats to hedge their bets on.
He looks like a goof just like the others! ConservativeTrash
The Conservative Party no longer believes in free speech and ideas. What's the point of voting in the leadership race if the committee is going to make the decision for you? cpcldr
Fair enough, there's already a place for bigoted nationalist regressives like him and it's called the PPC.
