People’s Party welcomes as candidates former Tories disenchanted with Conservatives ‘centrist’ approach

The People’s Party of Canada is welcoming candidates who were rejected as nominees, abandoned their efforts or left the Conservative Party because of their views on immigration, gender identity, free speech and other issues.

The Globe also reached out to national and riding-level Conservative Party officials, but all declined to comment or said they did not know why the candidacies were rejected. Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, a PPC candidate in Alberta’s Red Deer-Lacombe, said the official reason the Conservatives gave for rejecting her was because her membership wasn’t up to date. But, Ms. Tyler Thompson said, a party official told her privately that the Tories didn’t want to “ruffle any feathers” by having her as a candidate because of her views on teaching gender identity in schools.

Mr. Cooper quoted the manifesto of the man who killed 51 people at two New Zealand mosques during an exchange with Alberta Muslim Affairs Council president Faisal Khan Suri at a parliamentary justice committee hearing about online hate in May. In the fallout of the incident, Mr. Cooper apologized and said he made the remarks in an “ill-advised attempt” to demonstrate that the accused murderer’s actions are not linked to conservatism.
