Veteran MP Rob Anders will carry the Conservative party's banner in the next federal election in Calgary West after being declared the winner by acclamation Tuesday night amid controversy.
Anders is expected to comment on his win later Wednesday, but disgruntled party members are already calling the race unfair.
"It's just a farce," said former MP Jim Hawkes.
....
Calgary businessman Walter Wakula said he didn't challenge Anders for the Conservative nomination because the contest wasn't fair.
Wakula said it's like running a 100-metre dash, but Anders is on the 50-metre line while challengers are at the start line with a ball and chain tied to their legs.
