I've been working on a new essay that examines the problems currently faced by the GPC, and how these problems can be fixed. I've identified about 30 key problems that are divided into three main categories: political, organizational, and cultural. After writing up an analysis of the first three organizational problems I can see that finishing all 30 will take some time, so I thought I'd present the problems and solutions in a "serialized" format as they are finished. I don't have a specific time-frame in mind for the next set, but keep watching the blog for updates.

The articles that have been published to date are below.  The ranking represents my opinion about the relative importance of the problem compared to other problems facing the party.

Fixing political problem #1:  The Canadian electoral system
Fixing political problem #2:  Building a national party 

Fixing organizational problem #1:  An inexperienced council
Fixing organizational problem #2:  Strategic planning
Fixing organizational problem #3:  Activating volunteers

Fixing cultural problem #1:  Suspicion
