Lobbyists for major oil, pharmaceutical, real estate and anti-union companies were elected to nearly half of the seats on the Conservative party’s top governing body at its convention in Quebec City.

Those elected don’t exactly represent the interests of “common people” whom Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has said he’s championing in speeches and ads rolled out in the past months.
