BROWN RESIGNS AS LEADER OF ONTARIO CONSERVATIVES

Patrick Brown has resigned as Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader after serious allegations of sexual misconduct from two women who spoke to CTV News.
In a statement released early Thursday morning, Brown called the allegations false but says he is resigning after consulting with friends, family and caucus members.
"I will remain on as a MPP while I definitively clear my name from these false allegations," said Brown, who is 39.
