Bill Graham will not run again

Bill has announced that he will not be running again, and things in TC are only going to heat up.

My take of the retirement announcement event;

First off George Smitherman made an appearance after pissing off alot of Bill's staff after arranging for Bob Rae to crash his retirement party. This alone is just ridiculous, but it gets juicier as it turns out Georgy boy wanted to cram 100 people in the room to make a strong Rae presence.

After being told to tone it down, we can finally get to the actual happenings at the event. Bob rae did show up, expecting to be crowned by Bill. He was handed quite the slap when he was told no dice. Not only is there to be an open nomination, but Bob can't even hope to pick up an endorsement and Mr. Graham is sure to take a moment to warmly smile towards Meredith Cartwright.

Meredith as you may all know is a nomination hopefull that has been trying to battle an appointment from taking place for some time now.

Other notables include the lack of party support present for Rae while Meredith is quietly picking up riding association support from those tired of Smitherman's antics. And with Rob Oliphant(web: www.justicequest.com/oliphant) taking a vacation in Mexico seemingly dropping from the race completely, we're really starting to see who the right person is to represent this riding come the next federal election.

Bill, thank you for all your hard work. Rae, strap your parachute back on and catch the next flight out, Toronto Centre wants a real representitive.

Booooo

For once steel town can have it

Well, we haven't had much of a canadian winter yet so it diddn't surprise when this storm ceom thundering through. What did shock, and excite me was when i saw that T.O wasn't going to get the shit kicked out of them by it!

The system stalled over hamilton, and dumped white hell all over them before moving into the city here, and all I have to say is, "Who's whining now!"

All jokes aside, drive safe and for those lucky ones not sneaking some blogging in from the office after their adventure in, enjoy your snow day.

Say NO to Appointments

Meredith Cartwright, nomination candidate for Toronto Centre, has setup a petition and letter to liberal leader Stephane Dion to help ensure TC has an open nomination process.

Lets help this woman show that we are the party that best displays fairness, and inclusion and lend our support on www.supportmeredith.com
