About that little matter involving Rob Anders and the Calgary West riding association...

Wow, talk about a revealing interview. When I tried to get in touch with Dan Morrison earlier this week, I didn't really think he would agree to speak to me... and much less, agree to go on the show. But in the end, he did!

The now former president of the Conservative Party's riding association in Calgary West has been involved in a dispute with the National Council over the possibility of holding a nomination contest.

See, not everyone in the riding likes the current MP, Rob Anders. He's been there since 1997 and there have been numerous (unsuccessful) attempts to challenge him.

This time, the National Council basically took control of the riding association to protect the incumbent. A majority of board members have resigned as a result. And now, Dan Morrison wants people to what exactly is going on in Calgary West.

Here's a small sample of his conversation with The House host Kathleen Petty:


You can hear the full interview with Dan Morrison tomorrow just after the 9 a.m. news broadcast on CBC Radio One.
