CBC News: Liberals pick byelection candidate who first tried running for Tories
Rough equivalent for folks in the USA:
Candidate: "I love the GOP platform! Can I be on the GOP candidate list in the primaries?"
Party brass: "Nope, you didn't get your paperwork in on time."
Candidate: "Oh. I don't love the GOP platform any more! Can I be on the Dem candidate list in the primaries?"
Other party brass: "Sure! Oh, and the party members picked you."
Yeah. That's pretty much what just happened in Durham for the upcoming byelection.
