BROWN WITHDRAWS FROM PC LEADERSHIP RACE

  A source in his campaign said Patrick Brown and his loved ones have faced a barrage of death threats and other harassment from those angry that he had joined the election.
  “I can no longer stand as a candidate in our party’s leadership race,” Brown said in the message posted on his Twitter account
  He said his situation also posed too much of a distraction from the party’s push to replace the Liberal government with a “pragmatic, moderate, fiscally responsible alternative.”
