Patrick Brown S Pitch For Selling Conservative Party Memberships

But a search for those promises on Brampton Mayor Ont.’S campaign website and social media accounts is empty.
They appear to exist only in positions he has handed over to leaders and members of the country’s Tamil and Nepalese communities whom he flirts with, including immigrants and racist Canadians, to buy party members as time runs out for the June 3 deadline.
And as Brown’s main opponent, Pierre Poiliev, gathers in the thousands, the former Ontario Progressive Conservative MP and leader crosses the country, bringing his case to rooms with sometimes just 20 people.
A look at his strategy can be found in a series of videos and clips shared on Facebook by those who attended such events, including Brown’s 17-minute meeting with members of the Muslim community in British Columbia, which aired live on April 1.
“In the current conservative integration, Pierre is more popular. The existing conservative membership wants someone tougher,” said Brown, sitting on a couch as others appeared in nearby chairs listening to him answer their questions.
“My way to victory is not to win party members,” he says.  “My path to victory is to bring in new people and to have a decent level of support within the party.”
He says they have a major campaign in Sikh, Muslim, Tamil and Chinese communities “all of whom have been mistreated by the party”
After a short pause, Brown says, “If we do that, that’s part of Canadian history.”
Since entering the race, Brown has emerged as a fighter for religious freedom, strongly opposing the controversial Quebec secular law known as Bill 21. Voted in 2019, banning civil servants wearing religious symbols such as hijab, turban, kipa at work.
While Brown includes this in his speeches, he goes further: He cites leadership leadership as an opportunity for communities to see their interests better reflected in federal politics and as a way to put a friend and ally in the Prime Minister’s Office.  is where he tells them he believes the next Conservative leader is in charge, after three Liberal terms.
Among those targeted are Nepalese Canadians.  His campaign includes a coordinator dedicated to enrolling at least 5,000 from their community.
In a nearly 36-minute Facebook video released on April 3, Brown said in a room in Mississauga, OD, that as a group, “they never played a significant role in a Conservative leadership.”
The turnout will open the door to see members of the community being represented in the country’s governing institutions, he says, noting the lack of Nepalese figures within the government.
“If you are not part of the process, it is easy to forget,” says Brown.
Near the end of the video, he asks for their help, adding that “I never forget what is part of my journey. We support each other, we create opportunities for each other”.
This speech followed a previous one that was broadcast live on March 13, the day that the mayor of Brampton, Aude.  began his candidacy for leadership at a rally in downtown Toronto.
In the video, he promises a room in Nepal’s community that as prime minister he will set up a visa office in the capital Kathmandu and invest in cricket infrastructure.
As for the Tamils, an ethnic minority in Sri Lanka, Brown has credited leaders and community members for enrolling them in record numbers during the 2015 Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race, which he won and reported. that sold 40,000 subscriptions.
Speaking at an event for members of the Tamil community in Quebec last month, Brown voiced support for setting up a consulate in Jaffa, Sri Lanka, and vowed to apologize to them as prime minister.
“In the years before 2009, Canada was on the wrong side of history,” Brown said.
That year, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, which Canada’s Public Security classifies as a Sri Lankan-based terrorist organization, were defeated.  Ottawa says in its list that the group, which was formed in 1976 to support the creation of a homeland for the Tamils, has carried out terror against civilians and assassinated Indian and Sri Lankan leaders.
Speaking at a different Tamil event, a three-minute clip posted on Facebook showed Brown sitting at a table promising to “lift the ban”, saying he felt the Tamil Tigers were “acting in self-defense”.
In a statement to the Canadian press, campaign spokesman Jeff Silverstein said Brown was sticking to his policy statements.  They will appear on his campaign website in due course, as their immediate focus is on selling members, he said.
Silverstein added that Brown believes it is time to lift the ban on the Tamil Tigers, citing the stance faced by members of the community.
He also said that Brown’s relationship with the Canadian community in Nepal dates back 15 years and that his campaign team reflects the diversity of the county.
Brown’s campaign says what it is trying to do is rebuild bridges the party burned with cultural communities during its 2015 re-election campaign – an issue most recently acknowledged in a report on the Conservatives’ defeat in the 2021 election. By April 8, the campaign says, Brown had attended about 200 events in the past three weeks.
The Tories, led by former Prime Minister Steven Harper, then promised to set up a line of advice on so-called barbaric cultural practices and passed a bill banning the use of face masks, such as niqabs, during citizenship ceremonies.
Brown is campaigning for the fact that Pouliavre was in government at the time, and Jenny Byrne, an aide to his current leadership candidacy, was the manger of the party’s national campaign in 2015.
“The Conservative Party will never win if Pierre Poilier finds his way and continues to drive out cultural communities by doubling failed discriminatory policies such as the niqab ban,” Silverstein wrote on Sunday.
“Mayor Brown is working hard to undo this damage and build a victorious Conservative Party – and he will never apologize for that.”
To show what is at stake in the leadership struggle for tribal communities, especially Muslims, Brown points to this story by Byrne and Puliyev.
He refers to the 2015 campaign in a 20-minute video of a meeting with Muslim leaders in Calgary in mid-April.  In it, he says he does not want to see the political polarization created during the tenure of former US President Donald Trump being introduced in Canada.  He also adds that the country’s right wing has a problem with Islamophobia.
At one point, he tells them that he does not know how “Pierre votes against the condemnation of Islamophobia.”  In 2017, both Conservative MPs and Quebec Bloc MPs voted against a motion submitted by a Liberal MP to the House of Commons for condemnation.
“This Conservative leadership is a battle for the soul of the party,” Brown said in the hall.
“If you show up, I win.”
