The riding of Victoria B.C. (the Orchardist stronghold in BC, voted every delegate in favor of the merger). Orchard's own sister lost her delegate nomination in Saskatchewan). The time has come.

So far, one would have to say that this pretty much makes both Orchard and Clark look pretty stupid, eh?

And Heron, and Sinclair et al.

Goes to show that the average person doesn't worry much about stuff like "Red Torism". They just want a Conservative party that can kick some Liberal ass.

Here's a list of ridings so far, copied from another forum:

Good work. And good news. If results like these keep coming in, it makes you wonder what all the fuss was about. Methinks WAY too much attention was paid to David Orchard, Joe Clark, and all the rest of them nay-sayers. Just the challenge of conservatism in this country, I guess.

Lets keep our fingers crossed, though.

I dunno. Something about some guy lying and breaking a written promise I think. But I guess lies are forgivable when the morality of Canada is at stake.

:rolleyes:

Unofficial Results -

44 of 301 ridings reporting

350 Delegates of a possible 352 eligible

(# of delegates / percentage)

306 YES 87%

44 NO 13%

1% Margin of Error

Seems in Fundy-Royal, John Heron's riding, all 8 delegates are in the YES camp.

Heron's reason for deciding not to join the new CPC, as I recall, was that he had no mandate from his riding association.

Me thinks he perhaps was not being entirely straight up.

Was the written promise made to you? Or was it made to David Orchard, who has the audacity to claim that Mackay has been played like a piano. I think Orchard's the one who's been taken to the cleaners. :lol:

I think the membership of the PC Party will have the final say about what they think of Peter Mackay's deal with Orchard.

It always did stink, regardless of whether merger proceeded or not. And Mackay has payed the political price. He will soon no longer lead any national party.
