SEARCHING FOR A LEADER WITH A BACKBONE

Erin O’Toole is no longer the leader of the Conservative party.

In a secret-ballot vote Wednesday morning, Conservative MPs chose to oust their leader after just 17 months and one failed election at the helm.

After a marathon caucus meeting, where O'Toole made an eleventh-hour pitch to keep his job, 73 MPs voted to launch a leadership race with 45 voting to keep O'Toole on.

The definitive vote was forced by 35 MPs unhappy with O’Toole’s leadership after last year’s disappointing election results.
