In a dramatic escalation of tensions in Parliament, Halifax-area MP Chris d’Entremont alleged that senior members of the Conservative Party of Canada barged into his office and yelled at him a confrontation he says led to his decision to leave the caucus.
The MP, who had broken in with the party in recent weeks, felt bullied and unsupported. It has put a spotlight on the party’s culture, and how leadership disputes are handled behind closed doors.
The Conservatives, for their part, dispute the narrative insisting the details have been misrepresented. With d’Entremont’s departure, the party faces further scrutiny over internal cohesion at a moment when it is gearing up for a new leadership race.
