(CP) - A gospel-singing, mutton-chopped Anglican priest who delivers his sermons as Elvis Presley is spoiling for a ballot-box battle with auto-parts heiress Belinda Stronach in hopes of bringing salvation to what's left of the moribund Progressive Conservative party.
Rev. Dorian Baxter - also known as Elvis Priestley, the self-styled Bishop of Beale St. - is the first of what organizers hope will be several candidates who fly the old Tory banner in defiance of the party's merger with the Canadian Alliance.
The 53-year-old Baxter plans to run in the newly formed riding of Newmarket-Aurora, where he'd likely square off against Stronach, who's currently in the throes of a high-profile campaign to lead the new Conservative Party of Canada.
Go Elvis!
