	Leadership Convention
		A leadership convention is a meeting of party members to select a leader of the party.
		While leadership conventions have compensated to a very substantial degree for the regional imbalances of the parliamentary parties, they have at the same time effectively ended the caucus's monopoly over the selection of a party leader, with a curious result.
		The record suggests that the leadership convention process actually serves as a disincentive to those who might aspire to a lengthy parliamentary career capped by a successful run at their party's leadership.

	Progressive Conservative leadership convention, 1983 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1983 Progressive Conservative leadership convention was held on June 11, 1983 in Ottawa, Ontario to elect a leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
		The convention became necessary when Joe Clark, who had been leader of the party since the party's 1976 leadership convention, resigned in the face of widespread opposition within the party to his continued leadership.
		The two party conventions in 1983 were very divisive for the PC Party as they set those loyal to the party's leader against those who believed that change was necessary for the party to win.

	Leadership convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Canadian politics, a leadership convention is held by a political party when the party needs to choose a leader due to a vacancy or a challenge to the incumbent leader.

	Progressive Conservative leadership conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All leadership conventions were delegated conventions, except for in 1998 when a one-member-one-vote (OMOV) process was used in which each riding was allocated 100 points which were distributed among candiates by proportional representation.
		For the 2003 leadership election, the party reverted to use of a delegated convention, obstensibly because of the cost of using an OMOV process though it has been argued that the party feared that use of OMOV would make an outside takeover of the party easier due to a decline in membership.
		This convention used a point system that allocated each riding 100 points to be distributed among the candidates by proportional representation according to votes cast by party members in the riding.

		In this case, however, the convention was called after the party membership passed a resolution to force a leadership convention even though party leader John Diefenbaker was unwilling to resign.
		Many in the party believed that his mercurial leadership when the party was in government from 1957 to 1963, and his failure to win the support of Canadian voters the 1963 and 1965 federal elections meant that he would be unable to lead the party back to government.
