maplesyrup Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Speculation is rife as to why after a visit to Vancouver late last week, Paul Martin is back in town for only one scheduled event (as the Liberal itinerary states: 8:30am Prime Minister and Mrs. Martin visit the VON Family Respite Centre). Rumour is that one of Martin's high profile BC candidates (one that appears in a new slate of Liberal television ads) is ready to quit based on sobering polling numbers and backlash from traditional supporters, and the Prime Minister is in town for a face-to-face meeting to ensure that does not happen. More details to come. June 1, 2004 Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.

Kliege Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 If this is true, it confirms what everyone already knows right now. That the Liberal campaign is sinking in quicksand and looks to be sinking fast. If that candidate (either an ex-b.c premier or a party chairmen) resigned if would tell the whole nation what Paul Martin is really all about Quote
maplesyrup Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Posted June 1, 2004 June 1, 2004 - UPDATE: Word has just been received that Paul Martin did indeed have a meeting with fomer IWA Canada president and current Liberal candidate Dave Haggard this morning. With the release of a new slate of television ads that feature Mr. Haggard so prominently, Mr. Haggard's resignation as a candidate would be a huge blow to the fortunes of the Liberal party in BC. If there is silence from Mr. Haggard over the next couple of days, it will indicate that Martin was successful in quelling his fears. http://www.tdhstrategies.com/home.html Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know.
