Elecciones de liderazgo del Partido Conservador de Canadá de 2020
Political party leadership contest
En 2020, el Partido Conservador de Canadá celebró una elección de liderazgo para elegir a un nuevo líder del partido. La elección fue motivada por el anuncio de Andrew Scheer en diciembre de 2019 de que renunciaría como líder del partido. [3] La elección se llevó a cabo mediante votación por correo desde mediados de julio hasta el 21 de agosto de 2020, [4] y las papeletas se procesaron y los resultados se anunciaron el 23 y 24 de agosto de 2020. [5] La tarifa de entrada de $300,000 la convirtió en la carrera por el liderazgo más cara en la historia de la política canadiense. [6]
La elección estaba originalmente programada para el 27 de junio de 2020, pero el 26 de marzo, el partido suspendió la carrera debido a la crisis de la pandemia de coronavirus en curso en Canadá . [7] El 29 de abril, se anunció que la carrera se llevaría a cabo por votación postal y que la elección en sí se reprogramaría de junio a agosto. [4] MacKay lideró la primera votación con el 33,52 por ciento por un estrecho margen de alrededor del 2 por ciento. O'Toole posteriormente lideró en la segunda votación y ganó en la tercera, convirtiéndose en el nuevo líder del Partido Conservador.
El 23 de octubre ya se sabía que los miembros del partido habían expresado en privado su descontento con el liderazgo de Scheer y que podría enfrentarse a un desafío por su liderazgo en la próxima convención del partido en abril. [9] A finales de mes, las figuras conservadoras hicieron públicas sus críticas y se lanzó una petición en línea que pedía la dimisión de Scheer. [10] El exdiputado y ministro del gabinete Peter MacKay describió las elecciones como "como si se hubiera producido una escapada en una red abierta y no se hubiera acertado"; atribuyó la derrota a las opiniones socialmente conservadoras de Scheer, que según él "le colgaban del cuello como un albatros apestoso" y lo distraían de otras políticas y cuestiones. Los comentarios de MacKay alimentaron además las especulaciones de que estaba compitiendo por el liderazgo. [11]
El 6 de noviembre, Scheer se reunió con el grupo parlamentario conservador por primera vez desde las elecciones, donde hablaron sobre las elecciones federales y por qué el partido no ganó. Scheer atribuyó la derrota no a la política, sino a la mala comunicación. Durante la reunión, el grupo parlamentario votó en contra de adoptar las disposiciones de la Ley de Reforma; como su adopción habría permitido al grupo parlamentario iniciar el proceso de destitución de Scheer, su liderazgo se consideraba seguro hasta la convención de abril. [12] Sin embargo, las críticas no cesaron; un informe del Toronto Star citó peticiones de dimisión de Scheer desde dentro de la comunidad empresarial, el sector energético y varios miembros destacados del partido. [13]
El 12 de diciembre, Scheer anunció que dejaría el cargo de líder, a la espera de la elección de su sucesor. También dijo que permanecería como diputado por Regina—Qu'Appelle "en el futuro cercano". [14] La convención de líderes estaba programada para el 27 de junio de 2020. [15]
Impacto de la pandemia del coronavirus
La pandemia de COVID-19 en curso afectó el calendario de la elección de líderes. El 12 de marzo, Peter MacKay, Erin O'Toole, Rick Peterson y Leslyn Lewis suspendieron todos los eventos públicos de campaña, mientras que Marilyn Gladu "evaluaba los eventos y actividades a diario y evento por evento", debido a las pautas de salud pública. [16] Al día siguiente, el 13 de marzo, Gladu, Rudy Husny y Rick Peterson pidieron que se pospusiera la carrera o que se retrasaran los plazos de inscripción. [17] El 19 de marzo, Husny se retiró, citando una falta de voluntad para recaudar fondos durante una emergencia de salud pública. [18] Peterson siguió el 20 de marzo, criticando la falta de voluntad del comité organizador para mover los plazos como injusto. [19]
El 26 de marzo, el Comité Organizador de la Elección de Líderes (LEOC, por sus siglas en inglés) pospuso la contienda, además de cancelar los debates planeados para abril y retrasar la fecha límite para la membresía hasta el 15 de mayo. El LEOC no fijó una nueva fecha y dijo que volvería a considerar la decisión el 1 de mayo. [7] El 29 de abril, el LEOC anunció la reanudación de la contienda, y la votación se llevó a cabo completamente por correo y sin una convención. [4] No se fijó una fecha definitiva para el anuncio de los resultados, pero el LEOC aclaró que los resultados se anunciarían "tan pronto como esas papeletas puedan ser procesadas y examinadas adecuadamente por los escrutadores, respetando las pautas sanitarias vigentes en ese momento". [20]
El 20 de junio, la campaña de MacKay desestimó las acusaciones y las calificó de "estrategia desesperada y de último recurso" y "ligeramente divertidas". [23] Lall negó públicamente las acusaciones en una publicación en su cuenta personal de Twitter. [24]
El 22 de junio, el National Post informó que la campaña de O'Toole recibió una carta de confesión de un miembro del personal del diputado que implicaba a Lall y lo describía como un "asesor regional de alto nivel de la campaña de Peter MacKay". [25] Más tarde ese día, la RCMP publicó un comunicado diciendo que habían comenzado una investigación sobre las acusaciones de O'Toole contra la campaña de MacKay, mientras que Lall declaró que está "persiguiendo agresivamente" acciones legales contra la campaña de O'Toole. [26] El portavoz de MacKay, Chisholm Pothier, dijo a CBC News el martes que el equipo de O'Toole envió sus contraseñas y nombres de usuario confidenciales a más de 300 diputados y miembros de su personal político, algo que Pothier dijo que se hizo "de manera negligente y sin ninguna expectativa razonable de privacidad". [27] En respuesta, el director de campaña de O'Toole, Fred DeLorey, tuiteó: "Este es un intento deliberado de engaño. Hay una gran diferencia entre enviar a los invitados un código para reuniones específicas y que alguien entre en la administración privada y robe todos los archivos. Lo primero es una operación estándar, lo segundo es un delito. Eso es lo que se está investigando". [28]
El 24 de junio, un ex miembro del personal del diputado Greg McLean admitió haber intentado filtrar los registros de video confidenciales de Erin O'Toole, pero dice que la campaña de MacKay lo rechazó, según Alex Boutilier y Kieran Leavitt del Toronto Star. [29] El diputado McLean tuiteó más tarde: "Lamentablemente, esto es completamente inconsistente con lo que me dijo a mí y a los altos funcionarios de O'Toole este joven. Sé que no debo confiar en esto. La investigación policial determinará la verdad". [30] El miembro del personal de la campaña de Erin O'Toole, Anthony Koch, también tuiteó: "¿Cómo explica las direcciones IP de Calgary y el centro de Toronto que accedieron a la cuenta de administrador de Zoom ilegalmente varias veces en el transcurso de una semana y descargaron más de 140 videos únicos?" [31]

Jim Karahalios
Background
Jim Karahalios is a corporate lawyer and founder of activist groups "Axe The Carbon Tax" and "Take Back Our PC Party". He sued the Ontario PC party after narrowly losing an election in November 2018 for party president, but the case has not yet been tried. He is accusing the Ontario PC party of ballot stuffing in that election.[350]
Karahalios obtained the required 3,000 verified signatures and collected $300,000 for the entrance fee, but CPC officers refused to put his name on the ballot. The exact reasons for Karahalios's disqualification were not released.[351] Karahalios contested the disqualification in court.[352][20] On 20 May 2020, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice reinstated his candidacy.[353][354] The judge's decision was made on the basis that the subcommittee which disqualified Karahalios did not have the authority to do so. The day after Karahalios was reinstated as a candidate, he was disqualified by the leadership election organizing committee (LEOC), a body which the judge stated had the authority to disqualify candidates.[355]
