Prior to the last election, federal Conservative problem child Gurmant Grewal announced he wouldn't be seeking re-election in Newton-North Delta. And now it looks like at least one candidate is looking to unseat his wife Nina. It has come to Public Eye's attention that former Squamish councillor Paul Lalli is campaigning for the Conservative nomination in Fleetwood-Port Kells. In an interview, Mr. Lalli explained he's been door-knocking for about two or three months "And what I've been hearing is that people want a MP that is going to listen. People want a MP that's going to be accessible. And people want a MP that's going to engage the entire community. And that's what I intend on doing." Are you implying then that Ms. Grewal hasn't been listening or been accessible to riding residents? "I'll let the constituents make that decision on election day," Mr. Lalli responded. The small businessman has been living in the constituency for the past year. The following is a complete copy of his campaign brochure's text, which features the fascinating campaign slogan "Strong Voice. Honest Choice for Fleetwood-Port Kells."

Strong Voice. Honest Choice for Fleetwood-Port Kells
"We need someone in Ottawa who understands our community. We need a member of parliament who will earn our trust every day they serve in office. As a small business owner, a former councillor and a long-time volunteer
for charity organizations, I believe that we build stronger communities by bringing people together, working toward
common goals and inspiring the next generation."

Reducing waiting lists.
Training more doctors and nurses.

Say hello to Colin Metcalfe on lead vocals, Chris Gardiner on guitar and Alex Tsakumis on drums...if Harper gets relected there is a new generation of ruthless young guns like these guys that will be at the controls. Yikes!
So, the Tories are going to parachute yet another candidate in Fleetwood? Good luck, Nina barely won.
Hey Torytown - Metcalfe can't sing! Lalli has lived in the riding for over a year - hardly a parachute!
Hi Torytown. Why are you outraged by those people? One is an organizer and chief with the MRO. He's a conservative. The other two work in Surrey. Tsakumis lived in Surrey years ago as far as I know and Gardner ran Diana Watts successful mayoralty campaign. These guys are respected backroom operatives that have been around a long time. Why the big surprise? Why are the conservatives always painted as bad guys on this blog? Lots of Liberal trash. Way way more.
Yah, this worked well in Surrey North - not. Not to suggest Nina is a Chuck or half a chuck, but as much as i'd like to see the grewals gone i don't see this loose cannon doing it. Watch for a big-name candidate on the Liberal ticket...
