More news from the halls of Ivy Leaguer Michael Ignatieff's federal Liberal leadership campaign. Earlier this month, The Province's Ian Bailey reported Vancouver Quadra MP Stephen Owen would be backing Mr. Ignatieff. But, according to our operatives, the former cabinet minister will be doing more than just endorsing the Russian royal. It is expected he'll aso be charing Mr. Ignatieff's campaign in British Columbia - which already includes communications chair Gerry Lenoski and volunteer chair Ann Mayo, whom our astute readers will remember as being provincial Liberal backbencher John Nuraney's former constituency assistant. Meanwhile, Lotuslanders hoping to meet the academician will have at least two opportunities this weekend. As we already reported, Mr. Ignatieff will be attending a five-candidate reception/courting ritual hosted by Richmond MP Raymond Chan. And he'll also be attending a scratch and sniff session at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre in Vancouver on Saturday at 1:00.

I wonder if Ann Mayo is telling Ignatieff to "blank off" as she likes to say to everyone in jest. It doesn't surprise me that she is a Liberally (Campbell camp always discourages federal affiliations being made known). As for John Nurrany, I am very surprised that you allowed such antics in your constituency office, that is if you knew.
Notice the word former. Ann hasn't worked for John for nearly a year, IIRC.
Stephen Owen is the least political MP in BC. Way to go Iggy. Nothing like mobolizing the bureauocrat.
Met Anne Mayo. She's a bit brash. She was also Volunteers Chair for Team Burnaby's disasterous campaign in Burnaby headed by Brian Bonney.John Nurnaney is definately federal Liberal, and probably a Martinite as opposed being a part of the Chretieniste.
Holdmyhandman, this site is so boring now, i miss all the hate and character assasinations. Stop being a fudgepacker and let go of the censorship.
Oh Charles, you met Ann once? Well I know her and she would not be pleased to hear you found her a "bit brash". She is extremely brash and bloody proud of it.
As she should be.
