The home, on a side street near Conroy and Hunt Club roads, belongs to Brian Storseth, a former Conservative member of Parliament for Westlock-St. Paul, a riding just north of Edmonton.

“As the campaign was put together quickly, my house was used as the original campaign office. That will be amended in the next 48 hours to the Toronto office,” Storseth said in a brief email exchange Monday. He’s managing Brown’s campaign, he said.

The fact that Brown’s campaign is formally starting in Ottawa speaks to Brown’s political bedrock, exposed now that allegations of sexual misdeeds have scoured away much of the rest of his institutional support: his contacts and supporters in federal politics.
