| Not only does the party need to scrub Patrick Brown's face off of all upcoming election material, now it needs a new logo. |
Another day, another resignation for the Ontario Tories.
Merely a day after party president Rick Dykstra resigned and only days after leader Patrick Brown also resigned, both over sexual misconduct allegations, caucus and the Conservative membership were left reeling Monday morning over the latest shoe to drop.
In a statement released by his spokesperson in the early morning hours of Monday, the letter P resigned his long-held position as a staple of the party's name. According to sources, P had been doing a great amount of soul-searching since the string of scandals broke.
"I'm not sure what I mean to the party anymore," said P when reached by The Sentinel Dispatch. "For 76 years I had stood for the word progressive, but I'm not sure how progressive it is for two guys (Brown and Dykstra) to be frequenting bars, picking up much younger women, getting them drunk, and making unwanted sexual advances on them."
The party, previously known as the Liberal-Conservative Association of Ontario, changed its name to the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario in 1942.
As of press time, it is not known if P will be replaced or simply phased out. Not only does the party need to scrub Patrick Brown's face off of all upcoming election material, now it needs a new logo.
