Ontario PC Party leader Patrick Brown

TORONTO, January 25, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has resigned after allegations of sexual misconduct. He has called them “false,” but says he does not want them to distract from the PC Party’s effort to defeat Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government.
Brown’s leadership was marred by accusations of betrayal from pro-life and pro-family voters.
Brown had won the endorsement of social conservatives during his leadership campaign because of his pro-life voting record as a federal MP, as well as his pledge to pull the province’s explicit sexual education program.
But once he took leadership he espoused a hardened social liberal platform on abortion, homosexuality, and sex education.
Jeff Gunnarson, vice president of Campaign Life Coalition, sent the following statement:
Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not (we’ll wait for the courts to decide that), Patrick Brown’s disappointing record of flip flopping on abortion and radical sex-ed, the scuttling of pro-life and pro-family policies brought forward by the membership, sabotaging nominations, denying candidacy to pro-life hopefuls, and his overall alienation of pro-life members of the party, were reasons why we welcome his resignation.
