Not really - the federal branch of the party basically fired the riding association for trying to hold a nomination meeting, and have previously taken all sorts of other actions to protect him. They also changed the rules to make it almost impossible to call for a nomination meeting - you need 2/3 of the party members in the riding to vote "yes", with everyone who doesn't actually mail in a ballot treated as a "no" vote. When a court overturned his acclamation a few years ago, they changed the rules so that only previously purchased memberships would count in the nomination meeting (so challengers couldn't sell any new memberships). The CPC bends over backwards to keep Anders in place.
