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.
