The conservative leadership campaign took another nasty turn on Thursday, with two front runners exchanging shots for what others call unethical behavior. Did. Pierre Poirievre has put up a television ad in Toronto, attacking Patrick Brown over his actions as Mayor of Brampton. Brown accuses Poirievre of running a misleading membership sales campaign.
TV ads attacking Brown began to appear on local Toronto television, highlighting Brown's attempt to acquire a college in Brampton. A 15-second spot broadcast on CP24 and paid social media posts claims that Brown wasted more than $ 600,000 taxpayer money on a college project.
"If you can't trust him to run a city, how can you trust him to run a country?" Both ads conclude with a question.

Poilievre is considered a front runner and claims to have sold more than half of the 600,000 memberships currently registered by the Conservatives, but it's clear that he takes Brown seriously.

John Reynolds, co-chair of his national campaign, released a letter sent to the Conservatives, complaining about what he called "the misuse of email communications by the Reynolds campaign."
