His hope lay with the opposition in Canada, and to a suggestion that he was hurting the cause he snapped, “I have no faith in the sincerity of the professions of the men now in power.” When the exasperated Canadians finally decided to undertake the survey on their own, he considered it a capitulation.
He insisted that the line go through Canadian territory to free the country from American control, and he was pleased that private capitalists would undertake the construction and thus provide sound investment possibilities for Canadians.

Though this border clearly did not mark any "highlands", it must be seen as an attempt at compromise, taking into account the claims and interests of both sides (Click for the full text of the arbitration decision).
The arbitration decision became known in the upper St.John River valley during the summer of 1831, at about the same time that John Deane and Edward Kavanaugh were conducting a survey of the Madawaska Settlement for the State of Maine.

The organization is asking pro-life minded Canadians across the country to assist it by reporting any comments on life and marriage stands by candidates at meetings, in local media or from personal conversations, that the organization could add to its Voter's Guide.
On the other hand, if John Baird wins, the voters of Ottawa West Nepean will likely be represented by him for years and years to come, and there will be no chance of having their socially conservative views of marriage and family represented.
Had he been beaten by Baird in a fair nomination fight, I'd say he had no right to turn on the CPC even if he disagreed with their policies.
