Occam's Razor.

Wait. It's more Hanlon's Razor.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"Mr. O'Toole also believes foreign interference played a role in his ouster as party leader," says the document.

"A trusted source in a diaspora group and a journalist have advised Mr. O'Toole in confidence that this specific party member had unusual ties to the [People's Republic of China] government.

In an email sent to CBC News, Chen said he launched the petition to elect a new Conservative leader "on the basis that Mr. O'Toole was not fit to lead our country or our party."

"It was the Conservative Party of Canada caucus that voted to remove the then-leader, not a National Council member," she said in an email to CBC News.

In O'Toole's testimony before the inquiry on Wednesday, he said Chinese foreign interference may have led to the defeat of up to nine CPC candidates β€” a claim he has made in the past.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed claims of foreign interference affecting riding results.
