There is a simple way to settle this: we can ask David Eby or Catherine Evans. I’d say I’m game, but I might be accused of being a henchman sending hate mail. Can you do it?

I’m not much of an organizer, and I’m not sure which bloc of the many that were out there you refer to. Please specify the location of my particular conspiracy so that I know how I held you candidate down. And feel free to take on the substance of my remark, that coalition building is a part of politics.

As far as how it was possible for Andrea Reimer to list David Eby as her top 8th choice, you’ve got the card in front of you. Notice Eby up top? I know you do, because your comment alluded to that. You can draw whatever conclusions you want about Reimer’s intentions, but I think I’m being reasonably accurate in my description of the card.

the best part of Eby not winning the nomination? he’s one of the most effective people working in the DTES, so now he’s free to continue the good work he does.

“As for Mr. Eby, I have no doubt that he is a nice, sincere person. However, I haven’t really seen or heard any real solutions from him.

it’s because he’s to busy putting his talk into action.

How is that even possible? Reimer split the vote on her slate offering “Eby or Evans.” I have the card right here. She was just trying to protect her own butt, after all the bridge burning she’s been so diligent at…

Lie. Catherine Evans was on no slate, and Eby endorsed no one. Are you one of those bloc organizers spread lies ptak? Please tell your henchmen to stop sending hate mail.

Interesting theory. I have serious doubts that a new party like Vision has the strategic where-with-all to scapegoat candidates in an attempt to create a left-friendly facade. Do I think the old and tired NDP guard in Vision tried to block Eby? It’s possible. He has no affiliation.

But I think it’s overly reductive to say that Eby was disposable in this race. People from the private and public sector who endorsed him wanted to see him succeed. From the comments section here alone I think we can all conclude Eby meant a lot more to a great many of voters than some insurance policy.

On that note, I look forward to full disclosure of all campaign contributions to all candidates and parties.

If Eby believes what he claims to believe he never should have run for a nomination with a party that is bought and paid for by the big developers.

Nawwwwww……I hate your taste in shoes! (the little smiley thing would go here if I didn’t hate ‘em so much).

Just to follow-up one more time, does not ‘ptak604′s’ comment…..

“And, like Rick, I voted Dhaliwal and Eby. Having been a scutineer, I can assure you that he and I had company-I saw hundreds of that combination, and I’m sure I missed many more.

……illustrate that, yes, the ‘Big Tent’ strategy can work?
