Correction. Earlier I said that the PC Merger vote would take place online. Apparently its going to be a mail-in ballot. It's still imperative that everyone buy a PC membership ASAP though in case legal rulings or inside party pressure force the PC Party to close membership entry. I believe it is our duty to see this merger through to the very end with unified support. None of us will ever agree on everythings and there will be wide varying opinions. But we have to set these differences aside in order to see the big picture. One thing that we CAN learn from the Liberals, are their ability over overcome their differences and unite to win in elections. This doesn't mean watering down our principles. But it does mean tolerating the existence of differing opinions. That's all part of democracy. A plurality of interests competing with one another. As Stephen Harper told his party during the "Family definition" debate: Those are moral issues, not partisan issues. People must be able to belong to a party regardless of their views on such issues"

To get a membership by phone or mail: Alternatively, you may contact PC Party Headquarters: Call: 1-613-238-6111 Email: [email protected] Mail: 806-141 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5J3 P.S. If you are currently living outside Canada, you can still become a member of the Party. Send an e-mail to Joan Brown at [email protected].

The important thing is to buy a PC membership ASAP in case the PC Party is forced to shut down membership drives in order for the merger vote to look legitimate. The exact link for voting online will be provided at a date closer to Dec. 12. One can currently hold memberships in both parties. Many CA members are now signing up for the PC Party to ensure this merger gets through. It's important though that we not take the proposed merger for granted. The agreement in principle took tireless dedication to achieve and it will take that same dedication and more to see it implemented. I'm not concerned out Liberals joining the PC Party to stop this thing because the Liberals aren't a grassroots organization (most of the people supposedly signed up in the recent 500,000 were actually signed up by someone else. Only 10% came out to vote in the delegate convention selection). What I am concerned about is old-style hesitant loyalist tories and Orchardists. The Orchardists are organized and motivated with populist zeal. Again, sign up ASAP to ensure the success of the Conservative movement in Canada. http://www.pcparty.ca/site/membership/

The Orchardists are organizing to reject the merger proposal buy voting en mass. All conservatives must organize too and stop the left-wing Orchardists from destroying the Conservative merger. Buy a PC membership ASAP and vote online to support the merger. It is your duty to see this thing goes through! It is also the cheapest way to be part of the new party. http://www.pcparty.ca/site/membership/

It is your Ironic Canadian duty to Sign this petition at Shaw.ca for the CCTA to allow cable companies the ability to carry Fox News and other American channels in Canada. This isn't just some internet petition. The cable companies will take it to the CCTA and so will actually be useful. Having a real conservative media network in Canada will have a profound impact on Canada. Not to mention, being able to watch a far superior News Channel to any in Canada and the US (#1 News channel in the US! They actually ask intelligent questions when they get the all the A-list interviewee's on.) http://www.shaw.ca/Tmplt.asp?PageID=685#
