Leadership Contest Dept: Former Ontario Premier Bill Davis, former federal finance minister Don Mazankowski, and Senator Gerry St. Germain have put their names to a letter sent Monday urging party members to uphold a rule that treats all riding associations equally in a leadership contest, according to CTV. Ensuring that all riding associations were treated equally regardless of their size was the key condition of the Progressive Conservatives in the deal and they're arguing the future strength of the party depends on leaving a key element of its constitution intact. Davis and Mazankowski were emissaries for the Progressive Conservative party when it was in talks to merge with the Canadian Alliance in 2003. St. Germain, a former Progressive Conservative MP, was an Alliance member in the merger talks. As
