Again, we will not pass judgment on this. Our concern is, what would this issue do to an NDP with Bill Blaikie at the helm? This is, simply put, an issue that could fester and hurt the cause.
Blaikie's double-dipping
With his retirement from federal politics, former NDP PM Bill Blaikie is being paid a huge annual pension. If Blaikie lives to be 75 years old, it is estimated he will have collected over $3.38 million from this political pension. But I guess that just isn't sufficient for old Bill. Nope, can't make ends meet on that paltry pension, so Bill has felt it necessary to move in and wrestle away the Elmwood NDP nomination from a couple of younger NDP staffers. Bravo, Bill, that's showing that good old NDP one-for-all, all-for-one, socialist spirit.

You should take this blog down... you are doing nothing more Than HURTING THE NDP CAUSE.
BILL IS ENTITLED TO HIS PENSION. IF HE WANTS TO SERVE HIS PROVINCE AT THE SAME TIME THEN SO BE IT.
DRAFT BLAIKIE! And down with the lunatics behind this blog.
@Anon - you are absolutely correct. [n.b. More to come.]
Same here! this blog is not a good thing for the party.
delete this blog and go back to the liberals where you came from!
DRAFT ASHTON THIS PARTY NEEDS TO TURN LEFT!!! While Bill is not my choice he is 10000000000000000000000 times better than OSWALD!!!!!!
BTW Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae were not even so harsh to each other as you liberals are being to Bill!
Lets see some real ideas here.
Stop this warfare!
Bill was an MP for 30 years so he gets a pension, If he wants to be an MLA he will.
DRAFT STEVE ASHTON he will move the party to to the left. He is not from gary's inner circle.
OSWALD OUT OF CABINET AND DRAFTOSWALD IDIOTS OUT OF A COMPUTER SO THEY CAN'T BLOG!!!!!!!!
"go back to the liberals where you came from!"
Can you even tell the difference between the NDP and the Liberals anymore?
Draft Ashton and dump the Blairite dead weight and Third Way hacks!
Is it true there will be a much anticipated New Year's address by Minister Oswald?
We can't wait! Undoubtedly it will break new ground in the realm of oration under the heading "How to speak and say anything".
It does seem a little unproductive (and quite suspicious) for self-declared NDP supporters to be attacking Mr. Blaikie so strongly. Shouldn't the pension issue be left for the Tories to play with?
Youre right... we will leave that to you. The two of us look forward to helping Bill sweep Elmwood and take his spot in cabinet.
