The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) says it has terminated its investigation into a racist email sent to leadership candidate Patrick Brown’s campaign team after the member who allegedly wrote the message quit. the party.
CCP spokesman Wayne Benson said the resignation ends the investigation, adding that information about the member in question will be kept in case that person attempts to rejoin its ranks.
The email came to light last week when Calgary MP Michelle Rempel Garner, who is helping Mr Brown in the leadership race, shared a screenshot on Twitter of an email the team allegedly received from an active member of the party.
The Canadian Press was unable to view a copy of the email in question.
The text that Ms. Rempel Garner shared evokes support for Nazism and contains racist remarks against blacks and Asians. It ends with support for Pierre Poilievre, a Conservative MP from the Ottawa region who is also running in the leadership race.
In response to the email flagged by Mr. Brown’s team last week, Mr. Poilievre shot back: “If you’re a racist, I don’t want your vote.”
