"A sleepy leadership [race] has gotten bizarre and gone possibly to a precarious place for the Conservative Party," said Conservative strategist and pundit Tim Powers. O'Toole claimed on Friday evening that MacKay campaign organizer Jamie Lall was involved in the "theft of confidential O'Toole campaign data and strategy." 'No one wants to be involved with that'Jamie Ellerton, a former Conservative Party senior staffer and strategist, said the conflict threatens to convince party supporters to tune out the leadership campaign. It's calling on MacKay's team to do its own internal investigation of the matter — something MacKay's people have not committed to so far. 'This is a criminal matter'The O'Toole campaign has not shared the police complaint with the MacKay team.
