Gerard Kennedy and nominations

[scribblet]

Is this a Liberal pulling dirty tricks, say it isn't so. Maybe it is simply in keeping with Dion's promise of stacking the nominations with women.

Liberal camp set 'to blow very shortly'

Kennedy supporters accused of dirty tricks as party tries to have more women elected

OTTAWA - Marva Wisdom would have been Stephane Dion's ideal candidate as part of his drive to ensure that one-third of Liberals running at the next election are women: she is young, black, smart, with a long background in the party as its national policy chair. Unfortunately, for Ms. Wisdom -- and perhaps Mr. Dion -- she lost the nomination for the riding of Guelph to lawyer Frank Valeriote.

I like how they give being 'black' as something that makes someone an ideal candidate. What a filthy racist (and sexist through Dion's policy) world we live in.

Notice the press is using senior/anonymous Liberals as their source, an indication of infighting.

I hate to see what type of affirmative action and disdain for democracy we might look forward to.

Or bullshit.

Seems like Kennedy is far more shrewd and less politically correct than I originally thought. It's great, really.

Interesting how this 1/3rd quota has slowly been dropped from the Liberal's releases.

Gee, I wonder what the reason for that is.

You think the National Post is racist?

Anyways, I need a subscription to view the whole article. From the caption I can't see how this is related to Gerard Kennedy.

Good, PC is finally starting to destroy the party that's been using it to destroy the country since Trudeau and even Person before him to some extent.

I think it's more hypocrisy that is destroying the party.
