CHORUS OF VOICES AGAINST PATRICK BROWN

  Canadian Press:  Ontario's Tories have been scrambling ever since Brown's abrupt resignation in January amid sexual misconduct allegations triggered a leadership race. Brown launched a bid to reclaim his post last week, saying he'd been urged on by support from grassroots members.
  But one of his competitors called Thursday for Brown to bow out, saying the leadership contest, which comes months before a spring election, was not the place for Brown to clear his name.
"This is a leadership race for the future of our party and Patrick Brown needs to step aside," Caroline Mulroney said in a statement. "He needs to put the party above himself."
