Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) Should be Shut Down

It's a closed shop.

How can we call the Conservatives crooked when we can't even abide by our own rules. Its current Management Committee has violated its own Constitution by not calling a timely AGM. Not just once either. They've done it twice. In fact, dear friends, over the last 5 years we've only had 2 AGMs. It puts a whole new definition to Annual General Meeting doesn't it?

 They've ignored term limits of officers. And, now, they've allowed an acclamation of a Regional President of a region that nobody knew was up for election because the current President just became the newly acclaimed VP of Communication. Yes, Jason Cherniak, the great communicator. To be fair to Jason though, nobody heard from the outgoing VP communication since her election in 2006. That's right, I said 2006. Six years later her position was up for election.

Here's what the notice of AGM says. Yes, I've copied it in case it disappears from the LPC(O) website. Can you tell me where it says the Central Region is up for re-election? Anyone? It doesn't. Yet there's an acclamation onto the Management Committee. What a crock.

Ah, Jason Cherniak, the one who cried wolf once to often and got burned. Did I say wolf, I meant to say anti-semite. Now VP of Communication in charge of message. Pray tell what messages will he be telling, or from his track record, hiding?

Yes Jason, some of us know how you operate and what a little treacherous shit you are. But you know, "I'm the kind of animal that bites back!". Again and again!!

I empathize James.. It seems there is a broad sickness in politics where the goal isn't proper governance, it's power acquisition and retention.

Just when I think it might be safe to come back to the Liberal Party...

I'm quite prepared to come to Montreal and finish this discussion with you. But then cowards like you couldn't handle real opposition. Interesting that someone from quebec would have such an interest over the breach of Ontario constitutional matters though. Bye Bye chicken shit.
