The party's legal counsel, Arthur Hamilton, has been replaced with Michael Wilson, a Poilievre ally and partner at the law firm Goodmans, according to sources. The sources were not authorized to speak publicly about the change.
It's the latest in a series of appointments by Poilievre that include an overhaul of the party's powerful fundraising arm and a reported change to a high-ranking leadership role. Wilson, a partner in the dispute resolution group at Goodmans, helped out with Poilievre's leadership campaign. Aprofile of the campaign names him as an Ontario field organizer. He previously worked as chief of staff to Ontario's attorney general.
His predecessor, Hamilton, a partner at Dentons, has a long history of representing the party, including during high-profile incidents during the Stephen Harper era, such as the 2011 robocalls affair.The switch follows other recent behind-the-scenes changes. One of Poilievre's first moves upon becoming Conservative leader was to replace the head of the powerful Conservative Fund.
James Dodds, appointed to the party's fundraising arm by former leader Erin O'Toole, was replaced with lawyer Robert Staley, another Poilievre ally who has been with the party since the Harper period.
Wait till he introduces the new slick-looking black uniforms with the stylish red armbands.
No different than a company buying out another company, cleaning house and replacing executives with their own people. I know.
So many still impacted by Trump. You gotta love it. Wow, a leader of a party making decisions, scary stuff.
Also replacing all photo op pictures with his ex BFF, Mackenzie, at stornaway.

Ooh! There’s a good name for that- CRONYISM
I’m sure his “daddy” Gerald Chipeur is lurking close by & pulling those strings with Harper by his side! A good story idea would be PeePee’s links and connection to Chipeur, Hallman, Plymouth Brethren,IDU, GoP, etc..
He wouldn’t want them to find the CPC booted Patrick Brown illegally…
Who cares about the irrelevant party?
hmmm... doesn't this sound like more of trump's playbook.... PP is following it step by step... discredit media, his tweets, putting down BoC etc...
Please don't try to think
First goes the lawyer; next goes the governor of the Bank of Canada followed by making Bitcoin Canada's official currency, right PierrePoilievre ? Oh wait! You actually have to win a general election first! Good luck with that one, 🤡.🤣 CPC_HQ
Well yaaa. He is the leader Cbc trying to paint Poilievre with so kind of black brush
Canadian style Trumpism
PP practicing patronage
Burn brightly, burn quickly.
Party needs a shake up
When the existing legal counsel tells you that you are doing illegal things,replace them with someone who will tell you it’s all good. Trump, 2016-2020.
I love the fear coming off the Liberals commenting on this. So awesome.
HurricanePoilievre is approaching. TrudeauMustGo so we can DefundCBC
Following the Trump playbook. Replace everyone with any degree of authority with unquestioningly loyal yes-men.
I’m sure mini-Trump ‘only hires the best people’ 🙄
Yes cbc lametti the guy who thinks cocaine dealers are ok?
And the effects of Pierre Trump begin.
Typical conservative's movement
Who cares who he wants to surround himself with… it doesn’t matter. What he does & the policy he chooses are the only things that matter.
Any link or evidence between Poilievre's new legal counsel for the CPC, Michael Wilson, Goodmans LLP partner, and Keith Wilson, the lawyer representing Truckers For Freedom? HeatherMoAndCo
Outside of CPC hyperventilating partisans, who really cares.
