"Manitoba New Democrats plan to nominate candidates in Winnipeg's next civic election, formalizing a process that's been informal in the past.Senior NDP officials say the party may hold nomination meetings in Winnipeg wards where more than one party member wants to run for office in the 2010 general election."

Oh I know that was there.. but this whole... nomination meeting thing? I am not even certain that is legal based on the funding priorities and advertising dollars and such. Any money spent on a campaign before the campaign, including money spent by the NDP membership to hold the campaign would possibly violate council rules.

As long as the party is all for smaller goverment, pay down the provincial debt, cut welfare services after 1 year to those who are able to work, after debt is paid cut income taxes, immediately eliminate payrol tax and business tax. Also make some legislation that enables Manitoba to be like quebec and have our own criminal code. That way we can deal with our riff raff appropriately. Pass some legislation forcing the Winnipeg city to Recycle Land. IE no more Urban sprawl. Encourrage renovating existing buildings, increase fines by 1000% for slum lords and make demolition by negligence an indictable offense.

I'd join that party.

I am in favour of abolishing welfare. Cutting the parasites off would save the tax payers a ton. And by parasites I mean those who can work not those who are physically/mentally unable to.

So remove welfare but increase the disability payments? mostly a good idea.

The basic economics principle: subsidize anything and there will be more of it. In this case, unproductiveness.

So what do they do when someone like Harvey or Lillian say, to hell with you, we are running anyway? Would they actually be stupid enough to not support the more popular with the people candidate over their own more popular with the NDP candidate?

seems this aint working out so well eh?

First Thomas and Judy ignore this and go their own way.

now Ross Eadie is doing his own thing and going after lazarenko

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/two-time-ndp-hopeful-sets-sights-on-new-ward-83622812.html



so... has the NDP noticed the backlash (not only from citizen but even from sitting NDP councilors) and backed off?

Someday, Ross Eadie will get elected to something, somehow, by somebody. At least he has campaign experience.

Does anybody know who that "truthbetold" guy is that keeps going after just about everybody that's says something bad in commentaries about katz?...

Check out my commentaries in yesterday's FP and how he came back and then I came back...and...

I have been at it with him since last Oct and I suspect he might be "associated" with Sammy in some way....anybody know?...GGF

Sorry GOM...Here it is...and down in the commentaries...I have had many such incidents with this dude(tte) since I said Oct previously but I believe it was actually Nov...either way...I have been keeping a close watch on him/her...and I am almost convinced he/she is one of Sammy's spin doc's as a result...GGF

@GGF. Freeman is convinced that you're a shill for the NDP. You appeared on the scene about the time that the NDP floated out the idea of fielding candiates to run against Katz, you have taken every opportunity to bash the Mayor for any minutiae that you could find, in this forum as well as the FP, what else are we to surmise?...freeman

I truly do not know Freeman...but I am still at this very moment "completely Independent" from "All" political parties and or organizations...I haven't even been approached by a single one yet and that is still OK for the moment...and I will disclose why I like being "independent from all parties for the moment" maybe soon...GGF

Freeman wants to know why GGF is keeping us in suspense on so many subjects? Who does GGF think is going to approach him to run for office when GGF has not not presented any issues other than allowing every Tom, Dick and Larry access to accounting information, which is impractical and expensive....freeman

Never said I was looking for anything in office at the moment now did I?...

And there are other ways of doing things for the moment that can be as effective if not more effective for the moment and or right now...

And one way or the other...

I'm no fool in not knowing that I do have a bit of a "public fan fare" going on right now and probably growing each day but I have always had one of those fan fares one way or the other and mainly in a more private basis and the difference now is that it has become more "public" and that has been and always will be tremendously appreciated by GGF...

And also because I live by my "own convictions and beliefs first and foremost"...

And what happens next will "always" happen next one way or the other...GGF
