Well that's interesting!
A prominent figure in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, Stevens vigorously opposed the merger of the Canadian Alliance with the Progressive Conservative Party. He became the leader of the Progressive Canadian Party in 2007 and served in that position until his death at the age of 89.
