According to the CBC, the PC Party (the Progressive Conservatives) have voted overwhelmingly (90% in favour) to merge with the other federal conservative party, the Canadian Alliance (which voted for the merger yesterday). This makes it at least possible for the federal Conservatives to defeat the ruling Liberal party (although how much of a chance they'll have I'm not sure, I don't know enough about Canadian politics to speculate.)
Anyway, good news for political conservatives, and for those who think competition in politics is a good thing.
