Now That's More Like It!

 In an earlier post, I worried that the LPoC might be losing its edge.  Clearly I spoke too soon.  Because Jason Cherniak wants some party functionary I've never heard of to resign, and James Curran wants Jason to resign for wanting that functionary to resign. All over an email asking what LPoC Members might want to discuss at that January convention thingy I'm not going to. 

Yes!  Go Team!  Because if you don't practice on one another, you won't be in shape for 2015.

Liberal Party Activist Vindicated

Fraud charges against realtor and Liberal party activist Jim Curran have been withdrawn.

Congratulations to Jim, who runs The "What Do I Know Grit" blog and would probably been Liberal Party candidate for Niagara Falls if not for this nasty little incident.

Apparently, local Libs will be trying again this month to pick a candidate. No word yet on whether Mr. Curran will run against former city councillor Joyce Morocco for the position. Good luck whatever his decision.

Deeply Shitty News

From CTV:

A potential candidate for the federal Liberal party in Niagara Falls, Ont. has been arrested on fraud charges -- leaving the party scrambling for a replacement.

James Curran, 42, who serves as the president of the Niagara Falls Federal Liberal Riding Association, was supposed to be named as the party's candidate today at a nomination meeting.

As someone who has always enjoyed Mr. Curran's insights at The "What Do I Know Grit", which is gone gone gone at the moment, I hope this works out all right for him. Unfortunately, unless the charges (cheque kiting) are proven false post haste, his political career is probably over.
