Fractured Tory ranks getting harder for Harper to hold together: Hébert
MONTREAL—If Calgary West MP Rob Anders is to be believed, the latest plague on Stephen Harper’s house is a red Tory insurgency whose front line is his Alberta riding.
According to Anders, efforts to nominate someone else to run under the local Conservative banner in 2015 are part of a bid by the progressive faction of the conservative movement to hijack the party and steer it to the left.
It is not the first time that the MP, whose main claim to fame nationally is to have been the sole parliamentarian to oppose granting Nelson Mandela honorary citizenship for his battle against apartheid in South Africa, faces a challenge
In a previous life Alison Redford — the province’s current premier — tried in vain to wrestle the federal nomination from Anders.
