819...In Ottawa Centre It Is Scott Bradley

Scott Bradley won the nomination over Janet Yale for the Liberal Party of Canada in Ottawa Centre last night by a margin of 449 to 400.

As the winner, Mr. Bradley will carry the flag for the next Prime Minister of Canada, Michael Ignatieff, in Ottawa Centre and will return Dipper MP Paul Dewar to the career that he truly is suited for, that of a school teacher.

Happy days are not here again but they are closer.

814...Ottawa Centre Nomination Tonight

From the outside it looks like a very, very, very close race between Scott Bradley and Janet Yale for the Liberal Party of Canada nod in Ottawa Centre. The nomination meeting is tonight at 6 30 at 440 Albert Street in the middle of the city.

I believe it is the old Ottawa Technical High School.

Voting until 10 this evening.

This will be exciting.

The winner will have the opportunity to take out Paul Dewar, the NDP MP in the OC.

805...Ottawa Centre Liberal Nomination This Wed

It is Scott Bradley versus Janet Yale and, for what it is worth, Mr. Bradley just sent me a note informing me that former national Chief Phil Fontaine is endorsing him in this race.

Chief Fontaine, who is rumoured to be running for the Liberal Party somewhere west of Ottawa Centre in the near future, said that "I worked closely with Scott as he led the charge within his company to put aboriginal issues on the corporate agenda. His genuine commitment to Canada's aboriginal community reflects his commitment and passion to the community as a whole. Scott would be a tremendous advocate and champion for Ottawa Centre, and we would be fortunate to have him as our Member of Parliament" . [sic]

The nomination meeting is this Wednesday at the Albert Street Education Centre, 440 Albert Street in Ottawa Centre. Speeches start at 6 30 and the voting closes at 10. Look for moi in my Liberal red sombrero.
