John Ibbitson writes, "Almost 260,000 Canadians took out a Conservative Party membership, and more than 141,000 of them voted – an impressive number."

By my calculation 141,000 out of 260,000 is just 54.23 % of eligible conservative party member voters.

The 2015 Canadian federal election turnout was 68.49 % and many have been decrying past turnouts for those events in the low 60s!

A leadership election where the victor tallied 50.95% to 49.05% in a ranked ballot system with less than 55% of the registered voters participating..."impressive" or will the 119,000 "registered" conservatives who didn't vote be out marching on the concession roads of rural Canada protesting their own indifference and inability to walk down to the mailbox?
