Candidates Hail: Canadian Alliance and Mr Harper

candidates hail: Now, although Calgary MP Michelle Rempel and Regina MP Andrew Scheer are both thinking about running to succeed Mr, according to Globe and Mail. Harper, all of the other major candidates or potential candidates hail from the eastern half of the country. The Canadian Alliance, Reform successor, essentially absorbed what was left of the PCs in 2003, with Calgarian Stephen Harper as leader. There are several good reasons for this. Just as the Liberal leadership traditionally rotates between an anglophone and a francophone, so too the Conservatives may be accepting that, after a long tenure by a western leader, the next one should come from the east. First, there may be an implicit principle of rotation emerging within the conservative movement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
