Brown. Dykstra. Mulroney.

Brown. Dykstra. Mulroney.
Last Thursday, following the resignation of Patrick Brown as Ontario PC Party leader, I called for the
resignation of Brown’s close confidante, Rick Dykstra, as Ontario PC Party President.
Last night, Dykstra announced his resignation. It seems that his departure followed a call he received
from Maclean’s inquiring about a young Parliament Hill staffer who had filed a report with Ottawa police
in 2014 complaining that Dykstra sexually assaulted her after a party. The Maclean’s story was released
imminently after Dykstra’s resignation.
Dykstra’s and Brown’s resignation were both triggered by news reports based on allegations of sexual
misconduct. Regardless of whether or not these allegations are “true”, Brown and Dykstra’s
resignations were both long overdue. Foremost among the reasons to celebrate their departure from
the leadership of the party is their deliberate corruption of the Ontario PC Party.
As Maclean’s reports, Dykstra won the presidency of the Ontario PC Party in March of 2016 by
acclamation after “his friend Brown brokered a deal where the other candidate, Jag Badwal, withdrew.”
Together, Brown and Dykstra established a PC Executive largely comprised of individuals who either
worked on Brown’s leadership campaign or who were acclaimed to their positions as a result of
backroom deals brokered by Brown, Dykstra or their operatives.
With Dykstra as PC president and Brown as PC leader, the leader and the PC Executive colluded in order
to corrupt the party’s policy process and the party’s candidate selection process.
This PC Executive then tried to cover up their corruption by purging the PC Party of members critical of
their behaviour, and tried to shut down all dissent through heavy handed tactics and intimidation
including filing a lawsuit against me (that was thrown out of court as an attempt to stifle my political
participation).
Now, instead of immediately resigning along with Brown, Dykstra hung in just long enough in order to
oversee the PC Executive’s establishment of a Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) largely
comprised of Brown-Dykstra loyalists. These Brown-Dykstra loyalists fall into one of the following
categories:
• Former employees of the leader’s office while Brown was leader including his former Director of
Communications;
• Employees of party headquarters during Brown’s tenure;
• Former campaign workers on Brown’s leadership campaign;
• The wife of Brown’s handpicked legal counsel for the party who led the charge to file the lawsuit
against me;
• A key campaign worker of a PC candidate who won her nomination as a result of voter fraud.
This corrupt, Brown-Dykstra infested LEOC, is drafting the so-called “rules” for the leadership. Sources
tell me that they are contemplating rules that would exclude specific individuals from the leadership
race while giving the advantage to other candidates. Another source informs me that the members of
LEOC are also trying to force all leadership candidates to swear an oath of loyalty to Brown’s bogus,
illegitimate, left-wing, “People’s Guarantee” or some variation of Dykstra’s fraudulent “policy
conference” of last November.
Why would these Brown-Dykstra cronies do this? The reason is simple. Their political masters are now
working openly to get Caroline Mulroney elected as PC leader, and Mulroney has welcomed Team
Brown with open arms. According to media reports, these Brown strategists include Brown’s “best
friend” and former campaign chair Walied Soliman; Brown’s former campaign manager Andrew
Boddington; Brown’s top strategist and communications guru Dan Robertson; and Robertson’s new
business partner Hamish Marshall.
Let me be more explicit: Brown’s corrupt campaign team is fighting for its life, and their candidate is
Caroline Mulroney. And despite the best efforts of Interim PC Leader Vic Fedeli, who is doing an heroic
job in trying to purge the party of this corrupt element, the PC Party Executive, and its key committee
LEOC, is still controlled by the Brown-Dykstra-Mulroney faction.
If they are not stopped, the Brown-Dykstra-Mulroney gang will do their best to “rig” the leadership
contest along the same lines that so many local nomination meetings were rigged; they will corrupt the
leadership race the same way the policy process was corrupted; and if Mulroney wins, they will drag the
party down the same dirty, corrupt path that Brown and Dykstra had done for these past two years.
These Brown-Dykstra-Mulroney loyalists do not have a mandate on behalf of grassroots PC Party

members.
And their continued involvement in the upcoming leadership race will call into question the integrity of
the result.
For the good of the Ontario PC Party these individuals need to resign, or, if necessary, need to be
removed from their positions.
This swamp of political corruption in the Ontario PC Party must be drained.
The Ontario PC Party must turn the page from this dark period in our history in order to unite and defeat
Kathleen Wynne’s corrupt Liberal government.
Time is running out.
