With a non-confidence vote just a day away, New Democrat conventioneers and their tongues are wagging about the upcoming campaign and those who will be running the party's show in British Columbia. According to our operatives, strategist-for-hire Brad "Darth" Zubyk and former provincial caucus executive director and Vision Vancouver communications director Clay Suddaby have been assigned to the candidate support desk - whose operations will be coordinated by New Democrat communications officer David Bieber. Ex-Canada Now reporter Marcella Munro, who worked as a fartcatcher for the party during the last provincial election and was a member of the Vision campaign's research squad, has jetted off to Ottawa to join the New Democrat war room's quick response team.
Marcella is wonderful! She's an asset to any campaign.
according to all the experts today, the election will happen and hopefully a minority government.
If its Liberal both Harper and martin will go within a year. so let the games begin, heck it's only tax payers money. Wait lists arn't getting shorted the infrartucture buzz of a couple years ago may or may not resurface and the NDP will pick up a few seats in BC. The BLOC will gain soem liberal seats in Quebec. And I don't even get paid.
When did Zuby leave the Grits? How could we support Jack Layton, an anti-business ultra leftie, who has spent more time protesting international trade organizations and globalization than he has spent speaking to real people.
Zubyk...say it isn't so!
Hey, Layton recruited Paul Summerville, the former chief economist for RBC Dominion Securities to run for the NDP in a seat that could swing NDP in the next federal election.
Don't assume Layton is anti-business...
The word on Babble from the faux leftists and outright Liberal sycophants is that Paul Summerville has no chance of taking Toronto St Paul's from that great Liberal Carolyn Bennett, and is just running there to try to give Jack Layton's national campaign a bit of a rhetorical boost. You know, pen a couple of columns for the Globe and the Post.
But no realistic thought of actually displacing one of Canada's powerful Toronto Liberal Ministers. That would be unthinkable.
With friends like that in his own backyard, Jack Layton will need to be at the top of his game if he's going to avoid another disappointing 19 seat finish. Already the patronage oriented Toronto types are getting ready to sabotage the NDP effort so as to help the Liberals beat the Tories. That's all they really care about, the rest is just window dressing.
