Editing Sinclair Stevens (section)

==Later life==
Stevens returned to prominence as a bitter opponent of the merger of the [[Canadian Alliance]] and the Progressive Conservatives into the [[Conservative Party of Canada]]. Stevens launched an unsuccessful lawsuit to try to block the merger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.davidorchard.com/online/nomerger/LegalDocuments.html#stevensvscpc|title=Legal Documents — Opposition to the Merger|publisher=Davidorchard.com|access-date=31 March 2011}}</ref> He later became a prominent member of the [[Progressive Canadian Party]], which had been formed by Progressive Conservative members disaffected by the merger. In 2007, after Tracy Parsons's resignation as leader of the "new" PC Party, Stevens succeeded Parsons as [[Interim leader (Canada)|interim leader]]. Stevens remained in that position until his death, nine years later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elections.ca/content.asp?section=pol&document=index&dir=par&lang=e&textonly=false#PCP|title=Registered Political Parties and Parties Eligible for Registration|date=22 March 2011|publisher=Elections Canada|access-date=31 March 2011}}</ref>
