There was an dispute within the Alberta Conservative Party concerning an anti-gay letter. The outcome was that the party dropped one of their candidates out. Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach said indeed this was difficult decision and this issue must be confidential. The Alberta Conservative Party is consists of forty executive committee members. Stelmach is the head of the pack. They voted on a decision whether to endorse a candidate who founded an anti-gay letter linking to a group of people. They decided to vote him out. The candidate was named Craig Chandler. Stelmach said that Chandler's nomination in Calgary-Egmont was not good for the party so he will not be endorsed.
Chandler was not happy about this decision. He said he's quitting the party and might run against the party in the next election. "I'm not going to belong to a party that doesn't want me,'' is what he said after finding out about the decision by the party. The Alberta Human Rights Commission said that the anti-gay letter broke provincial law with its constitution. Chandler have to face the U.S. court concerning the letter. He have to attend anti-communist hearings debating if he should be held liable for these allegations. Chandler was getting himself into more trouble because he speaking about this issue and how he is being treated unfairly.
