Simcoe Grey’s Federal Conservative Riding Association is holding its Annual General Meeting this weekend.
The meeting, at New Lowell Legion on Saturday, is reportedly open to members of the federal Conservative Party only, not to the public or the media.
It’s widely expected those in attendance will discuss the issue that many people in Simcoe Grey have been obsessed with lately: the troubles continuing to swirl around MP Helena Guergis.
Whether Guergis can be a Conservative candidate in the next federal election is up for question, since she has been excused from the Conservative caucus, and currently has to sit as an independent.
Guergis has not yet shown up for parliament to take her new seat in the house.
Even if Simcoe Grey’s riding association chooses Guergis to represent them again, the Prime Minister, as leader of the party, would have to approve her nomination.
The day after she was removed from caucus by Stephen Harper, Riding Association Past President Andy Beaudoin said ‘Why not?’ when asked whether Guergis was still the Conservative candidate for Simcoe Grey.
