Conservative MP candidate drops out due to campaign interference and "smearing"

‼️ Announcement ‼️

I’m suspending my campaign to become the next federal Conservative candidate & MP for Aurora–Oak Ridges–Richmond Hill.

Sadly, I no longer have faith in the election’s integrity.

Summary of her claims:

>Another candidate had access to the list of current members before anyone else, giving them a significant advantage

>Later, someone using a fake name sent an email slandering her to members of the party, including one of her articles criticizing Stephen Harper, and an article talking about how she painted her kitty with the pride flag

I managed to find the article in question, LMAO. Not exactly slander if it's true. She did say there were some falsehoods in the email, but wouldn't say exactly what they were.

>A candidate was canvassing the homes that she had already secured funding from, as a means of influencing votes. This was after membership sales had already closed.

>The smear email was also sent to people with a membership in the party

Honestly it does sound like someone was trying to interfere with her campaign unfortunately she doesn't disclose who the suspected candidate is. However, a CBC article on the situation outlined a similar scandal from a year before:

The Conservatives have faced at least two other allegations of party brass favouring one candidate over another in a nomination race.

Last year in Oxford, a riding in southwestern Ontario, Arpan Khanna got the nod over the daughter of the outgoing MP.

That prompted accusations that Khanna, who previously ran in Brampton, Ont. and served as the co-chair of Poilievre's leadership campaign, was a parachute candidate who unfairly displaced a local leader and an anti-abortion campaigner.

Bernier seems to think her campaign was purposefully sabotaged by the CPC due to her stance on mass immigration:

Honestly though, her stance on immigration seems pretty moderate and doesn't seem to deviate that much from that of the CPC's campaign:
