maplesyrup Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Liberal riding assoc. throws support behind NDP Rejecting the recommendation of Prime Minister Paul Martin, a Liberal riding association has decided to throw its support behind the New Democratic Party's candidate.Liberals in the Toronto-area riding of Brampton-Springdale were outraged when Martin overruled their nomination vote and decided to appoint Ruby Dhalla as the local candidate. Instead of kowtowing or arguing, the riding association executive has responded by withdrawing support for Dhalla and putting it instead behind the NDP's candidate, Kathy Pounder. "We believe that [Ms. Dhalla's] appointment is undemocratic and wrong," the 11 executive members of the riding association declared in a statement on Monday. The association also passed a resolution to that effect on Sunday night. Mr Democratic Deficit must rue the day the Liberals ever began using that expression.
