As we celebrated our first New Blue conference with over 700 attendees and the release of our platform - the New Blueprint (click here) - the Sloan-Nicholls Team started a daily attack in response to me revealing their continued efforts in trying to undermine us and assist the PC establishment - click here to read more.

When they couldn't quote a single statement that I made that was false, they cried out "Shame...!"

And they played the "victim" card - just like establishment PCers Patrick Brown, Brian Patterson, Doug Ford, Erin O'Toole, and Walied Soliman before them.

This time, they claimed the "victim" was Derek Sloan's "good friend" - political operative and establishment PC apologist - Tanya Granic Allen.

Allen says she shouldn't be held to account for her political record, and her involvement in the Sloan-Nicholls team, because she is now a "private citizen."

Did you know Tanya Granic Allen had retired from public political life?

Of course you didn't. Because it's not true.

"Private" citizens do not engage in the type of nefarious dealings as outlined here and also:

• are not able have politicians like Derek Sloan broadcast their complaints;

• do not have the ability to influence fake advocacy groups controlled by PC operatives, like Parents As First Educators (or PAFE), from behind closed doors;

• are not able to ask organizations like PAFE to broadcast their complaints - not once but twice.

• do not host their own show on cable television talking about politics;

• do not have a social media following they developed from helping Doug Ford become Premier;

• do not take leading public roles in promoting Conservative leadership candidates like Derek Sloan and Erin O'Toole;

• do not take leading public roles in party conventions, encouraging their followers to attend, and promoting policies and candidates for the PC executive;

• are not guest speakers at establishment conservative conferences;

• do not have an active e-mail distribution list they pay for and use to broadcast their political views whenever they want;

• do not use their social media following to sway voters when it suits them; and

• do not use their e-mail distribution list to pretend they have a legal complaint against a party leader.

Yesterday, I was on Sauga 960am with Richard Syrett discussing Doug Ford's Bill 100 and the deceptive tactics of the Sloan-Nicholls Team.

Can you, as a "private citizen," wield the same influence as Tanya Granic Allen? No, of course not.

Because unlike you, Tanya Granic Allen is not a "private citizen."

Allen is a public political figure, a political operative, and one of the puppet masters behind Derek Sloan. She is one of the public figures who encouraged Derek Sloan to enter into provincial politics, and made it explicitly clear to New Blue supporters she spoke to that her team of PC operatives and apologists, including PAFE, would oppose the New Blue.

The claim that Allen is now a mere, defenseless, "private citizen" is a tactic used to further deceive and exploit conservative voters and try to undermine the New Blue Party - the only true conservative threat to the Ford PCs for the June 2nd election and beyond.

The hypocrisy of the Sloan-Nicholls Team and of Allen has no bounds. Just like Doug Ford, and the PC establishment, they believe their rules don't apply to them.

Last week, when Allen took issue with someone she knows being a member of the New Blue team, she didn't call them directly to discuss. Allen resorted to injecting grief into a family by contacting and complaining to the young person's elderly mother and siblings.

When it has benefited Allen's personal agenda, she has repeatedly attacked others including Belinda and Leslyn Lewis. She never bothered "calling" Belinda before mounting her attack. More on this next time.

After repeated attempts to try to divide grassroots conservative movements led by others, for their own goals, when the spotlight is turned on them, Sloan and Allen cry out "shame," play the "victim," and call for "unity."

This is the same "cancel culture" technique used by the progressive establishment when they want to bully and silence their political opponents for revealing dirty tricks and secret dealings that undermine grassroots democracy.

While our agenda is to expose secret establishment deals by speaking the truth, Sloan's and Allen's agenda is to continuously undermine our campaigns, and enter into secret dealings with the PC establishment, no matter the harm it causes to anyone else.

We are well aware of the tactics embraced by PC operatives, including those behind the Sloan-Nicholls Team.

And we know the only way to defend against the future use of these dirty tactics and to defend against further retribution being inflicted on our team, is to expose their secret dealings.

As Leader, I will fight to defend the united movement that has grown under the New Blue Party banner from the PC operatives and apologists who come bearing gifts but are secretly trying to sabotage what we have built.

I will defend our values, supporters, candidates, and Ontarians from exploitative PC tactics.

I will ensure that grassroots conservatism thrives and is not continuously sabotaged.

I will not be "shamed" into silence for speaking the truth.

And we will continue to challenge the left, balance the narrative, and change the course.

Because I know, the best is yet to come.
