Western Canada: Two resolutions up for debate in Calgary would fundamentally alter the way leaders are chosen, and theoretically favour future contestants from Western Canada, according to Huffington Post. "Democracy is best served when members serve the leader and when leadership candidates seek support from and serve the membership," reads the resolution and OTTAWA - A chronic struggle within Conservative ranks over leadership rules has resurfaced in advance of the party convention later this month, pitting east against west and Red Tories versus Canadian Alliance stalwarts. One resolution, from an unidentified riding, would give each party member a vote in a leadership race. A similar resolution was defeated at the last convention in 2011 after a sometimes passionate debate on the floor. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
