Harper Takes Helm as Canadian Alliance Leader in Turbulent Move
The Canadian Alliance gains a new leader Stephen Harper after a first ballot win with 37 percent over Stockwell Day. Day concedes and backs Harper as dissension within the CA seeks to be quashed behind closed doors. MPs like Vic Toews and Brian Pallister pledge support while factions with Tories and former Reform allies shift in the evolving political landscape.
