The Conservatives removed two candidates on April 1 citing concerns about public comments they previously made. The candidates were from Ontario and Quebec.

Conservative candidate Mark McKenzie in the southwestern Ontario riding of Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore is no longer running for the party over comments he made in a comedy podcast in 2022.
