"But some
constituency presidents did take verbal swipes at returning officer Kim Haakstad - questioning her neutrality. "

Actually what happened was Kim stated that she was neutral and a whole bunch of people started giggling. No one said anything questioning her neutrality. Nonetheless, she was quite put out at the giggles.

A neutral LPC party is kind of equating a fat kid resisting the urge to eat a smartie. Impossible. Call it what it is. Haakstad did however learn that the more she talks, and the louder she talks the more people just give up. Interesting strategy. Graunted, Mr. Walker provides an enjoyable amount of fun by actually asking hard questions, the old boys don't like it, but hey, the party is changing. Imagine a party where people's actions are actually held accountable. I have a dream....

That would be Dr. Jason Walker, not Mr. :)

It is funny to watch folks who've been around the Liberal Party for ages carp about current the LPCBC when mere years ago many of these same people were allied with or a part of the closed-shop LPCBC of the 90s or some woefully despotic Liberal riding association. I'm not referring to this Jason Walker fellow, but we must recognize that many of Liberals who now wine incessantly about democracy in the LPCBC were or continue to be complete tyrants in their own little fiefdoms.
