Brown said Poilievre was hiding behind the attacks as the tanks of the global cryptocurrency market. “This is Pierre Poilievre trying to change the channel. “This week, there was a big story in the world news and it was that the cryptocurrency was collapsing and the economic policy of Pierre Poilievre’s signature was recommending Bitcoin to Canadians,” Brown said in an interview with CTV’s Question period. “He does not want to answer questions about how he created the economic policy that is troubling the Conservative Party.” In a June 10 letter to the chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Leadership Elections received by CTV News, Conservative MP and co-chair of the Poilievre campaign, Tim Uppal, raised “about member sales practices” at the Brown camp. “During the leadership campaign, the Poilievre campaign repeatedly received reports that organizers working for the Brown campaign were arranging to reimburse membership fees paid by individuals who agreed to join the Party using the Brown campaign portal,” the Brown campaign said. letter. Brown denies the allegations.
WILL BROWN RUN WITH POILIEVRE?

He says, however, that he would be a federal candidate if Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis, Scott Aitchison or Roman Baber took the lead.
