'Time for a reckoning': Rifts in Conservative caucus laid bare as O'Toole digs in

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says he's ready to fight to hold on to the helm of the party after a third of caucus signed a letter to force a vote on his leadership, which could take place as early as Wednesday.
O’Toole addressed the letter in a series of tweets Monday evening, while drawing attention to internal party division.
“There are two roads open to the Conservative Party of Canada. One is the road of Randy Hillier and Derek Sloan. It is angry, negative, and extreme. It is a dead-end; one that would see the party of Confederation become the NDP of the right,” he said.
“The other road is to better reflect the Canada of 2022. To recognize that conservatism is organic not static and that a winning message is one of inclusion, optimism, ideas and hope.”
He added that he’s “not going anywhere.”
