Orchard to sue over merger (Globe and Mail - PC/CA merger)

However, another opponent of the merger, former Tory cabinet minister Sinclair Stevens, said the suit would likely focus on the deal that Mr. Orchard and Mr. MacKay signed last June: Mr. Orchard pledged his support to Mr. MacKay for party leader in return for a promise that Mr. MacKay would not merge the Tories with the Alliance.

Mr. Stevens said Thursday that Mr. Orchard may intend to show that Mr. MacKay has violated a signed contract.

“If you agree with me not to do something, and I hear that you're going to do it, clearly I can go to a court and say I've got this contract. You shouldn't be doing this and I want an injunction to stop it,” Mr. Stevens said.

Can David Orchard succeed. I hope so, but I'm doubtful.

He can sure as hell smear a whole lot of egg all over Peter (Shit-for-Brains) McKay's insipid mug. McKay made a promise and then openly broke it. He's toast.

BTW, am I the only one who's noticed that Steven Harper's eyes are set too close together? He reminds me of Santorum that way.
