OTTAWA - The federal Conservatives have put off the nomination meeting in a Toronto-area riding, but the two candidates haven't put away their political cudgels.
The bitter race in the new riding of Oakville North-Burlington pits Eve Adams, sitting MP for Mississauga-Brampton South, against chiropractor Natalia Lishchyna.
The two sides have taken to bareknuckles politics, accusing each other of wrongdoing in less-then-parliamentary language.
In the latest move, Lishchyna welcomes the party's decision to put off the nomination vote until it can thoroughly review the back-and-forth allegations.
But she then takes aim at what she calls unscrupulous campaigning by Adams.
She questions why Adams would abandon the riding she holds to try for a nomination in new riding.
