Chris Crawford and Larry Malloy will be at this Saturday’s Delegate Selection Meeting (DSM)
The Carleton Conservatives are proud to announce that both candidates for the position of Eastern Regional Vice-President for the PC party will be speaking at our DSM. Both Candidates will have 3-5 min to talk about their campaign and will then take questions from students. This is a great opportunity to learn about the issues facing Eastern Ontario and we look forward to having them speak!
Conservative Party of Canada National Outreach Coordinator Laura Kurkimaki will be speaking at this Saturday’s DSM regarding the 2012 Conservative Party Internship Program.
Yes, it’s that time of year again: Internship Application Time!
For those who might not know, every year the Conservative Party of Canada holds an internship program for students and young people who are interested in gaining experience in the world of politics.
Successful applicants are placed in government ministries (Defense, PMO, Transport, etc.) as political interns for the summer. As interns, students can expect a once in a lifetime experience working side-by-side with government staffers.
Many interns have gone on to have successful careers in all levels of government. As a former intern myself I can tell you that the experience is second to none.
Below are links to the application forms and FAQ pages.

Hashem Hamdy will be addressing the Carleton Conservatives regarding Israeli Apartheid week.
The Carleton Conservatives have a long history as staunch supporters of the state of Israel.
As part of our effort on campus we hold joint events with the Israeli Awareness Committee (IAC) during Israeli apartheid week; this year will be no different. We look forward to Hashem giving us a peak into what events will be taking place this year.
Hope to see you all there!

I know I can speak for everyone when I say how encouraging it is to see such enthusiasm for the conservative movement here on campus! But remember, it won’t happen without your support. So, if you’re coming to the Sir. John A. MacDonald Birthday pub night, our DSM, or the Iron Lady movie night, the best thing you can do is to bring one of your friends and help spread the word about the Carleton Conservatives here on campus!
We hope to see everyone there!
Jeffrey Pierce
President, Carleton Conservatives
Hope to see you there!
