Duking it out in Newmarket-Aurora
Belinda Stronach's Conservative Party leadership campaign has taken the somewhat unusual step of releasing an open letter to opponent Stephen Harper, criticizing him for endorsing Lois Brown, Stronach's opponent in the nomination for the riding of Newmarket-Aurora. (The letter is signed by MP John Cummins, one of Stronach's caucus supporters.)
While the letter is correct in saying that it is unusual for leadership candidates to get involved in local nomination battles, this is only going to draw more attention to Harper's endorsement. It's a sign that Stronach is worried. Keep your eye on that nomination meeting, which takes place March 9.
