Gerrit Van Dorland: Disqualified by CPC For Being Pro-Life
Poilievre fails to uphold promise for open, democratic nominations.
A sub-committee of the Conservative Party of Canada has just disqualified Gerrit Van Dorland, the pro-lifer whom CLC endorsed for the Oxford nomination to replace long-time MP Dave MacKenzie.
