| Description | The Conservatives' iron-clad discipline suffered several cracks last week as party members bickered behind closed doors over Brian Mulroney – the former prime minister who divides them still.
MPs and senators feuded privately over the Harper government's treatment of the former leader. Some are now going public.
Sources in the Conservative caucus have told The Canadian Press that their meeting last Wednesday was pocked with bitter exchanges about the man who delivered the last Tory majority government.
Several MPs pointedly criticized the way Mulroney was being treated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's staff. A cabinet minister was heckled when she attempted to explain the PMO version of events to Mulroney's defenders. One outraged Mulroney supporter strode into the caucus room and straight to the podium to address fellow Conservatives after consulting with the former PM by phone.
By the end of the altercation, the Conservative House leader glumly buried his face in his hands. |
