  • Instead of fighting over one riding, couldn't those people be fighting to have fair representation for Alberta in the House of Commons? Stop squabbling over crumbs and go for a bigger piece of the cake.

  • Maybe they're not fighting over the crumbs as much as they're fighting over the dumba** who's been nominated (again).

  • This is simply a matter of fairness. The riding association broke the law (political party administration does fall under legislation) and now they have to make right.

    Not that he'd ever do it in a million years (either because he doesn't have to or because he's a prick - your choice) but I'd like to see Anders to the honourable thing and step down until a new nomination meeting can be called.

    I wonder, if he were to do that, if he would have to resign his seat in the house? Or if he re-wins the nomination does there have to be a by-election? There are many questions for this messy situation. How hard is it just to do the right thing in the first place? Over 1,000 other riding associations managed to do it! Why'd we get stuck with the morons running Varsity CPC riding association?

  • LOL! It pains me to say this, being a CPoC supporter, but DAMN! Looks good on the twit.

  • I'm counting on the fact that Anders will win his nomination again, since I'm mounting an Independent campaign for the Calgary-West seat in the Commons....

  • docsanchez, your post makes no sense. Even if a sitting MP actually loses their party's nomination (as opposed to just having to re-fight it, as with Anders), there's absolutely nothing compelling them to step down from their seat. (see: Chuck Cadman, Bev Desjarlais, and possibly Garth Turner)
