Earlier, your humble organ reported on the appointment of Doug Leung to the Non-Partisan Association's board of directors. And, based on an email written by Dale McClanaghan promoting that appointment, he sounds like quite a catch. According to the past president, Mr. Leung "has served as a national co-chair and provincial chief (for the federal Liberals) during several elections." But there's just one little problem. That information is plain wrong. In an interview with Public Eye, Mr. Leung said "that's not correct. I have no idea where they got that from...And it was quite embarrassing actually." So what exactly has the new appointee done for the Grits? Well, in 1997, he was New Westminster Liberal candidate Celso Boscariol's campaign manager. And, from 2000 onwards, he filled the same post for Vancouver Quadra MP Stephen Owen. Mr. Leung also added "I've done some modest things (for the provincial Liberals). I was largely involved with Point Grey for the premier's campaign, going back to the 96 campaign."
Leung is underplaying his involvement and significance...he is VERY well respected and is an honorable and appropriate appointment.
What is now reported as correct information makes the group that appointed him look all the more astute.
Thanks Sean, you're the greatest! Now if you just printed the rest of Leung's bio that went to Directors, everyone would see that 95% of the infomration reported was ACCURATE.
You should be so lucky as to have the same rate of accuracy in this blog.
