June 2013 marks the tenth anniversary of the Progressive Conserevative Party of Canada's final leadership Convention in which Peter Mackay secured the leadership with the help of rival David Orchard. Mackay broke Orchard's critical condition for support, namely that he would not merge the party with the Canadian Alliance, a right of centre US Republican-style party led by Stephen Harper.
