Sunday, October 22, 2006 Ken Rockburn speaks with former Conservative candidate and member of Peter MacKay's campaign team (his chief financial officer), Bob Plamondon, whose book on the merger of the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties, Full Circle: Death and Resurrection in Canadian Conservative Politics has just been published. Rockburn and Plamondon, who are both well informed about the 2003 PC party leadership convention, draw on their knowledge of and interest in this historical event to provide a a fascinating blow-by-blow account of developments culminating in the Orchard-MacKay deal. Bob Plamondon wrote his book based on extensive interviews with both David Orchard and Marjaleena Repo, Orchard's campaign manager, as well as with Peter MacKay and other key players. Ken Rockburn helps tells the story by playing clips from his documentary about the convention, "Bloodsport," bringing to life again the human faces and voices of those who participated with their hearts and souls in this significant political event.
