They've tried.
Stephen Harper personally intervened on behalf of Anders to over-rule the grassroots will of the local riding association to oust Anders and nominate a competent Conservative candidate instead.

The Calgary Herald recently published an article on Calgary West MP Rob Anders. CH says: “An MP widely considered invisible at best, and horrible at worst, has been saved from local rejection after party headquarters denied his own riding directors the chance to shop for a better Conservative candidate.” Stephen Harper personally shut down the challenge to Mr. Anders automatically receiving the Conservative nomination in his riding. “Rob is a true reformer and a true conservative,” Harper declared after saving his candidate from a challenge two years ago. “He has been a faithful supporter of mine and I am grateful for his work.”
