- There is no such movement in York Centre where Chretien the dictator has
- imposed Art Eggleton, over a long term Liberal who has been a dedicated
- party worker for a long time and who has spent a lot of time signing up
- legitimate Liberals in the riding.
-
- If it were such a case as a single interest group hijacking the process,
- there wouldn't be such an outrage through Metro Toronto in the Eggleton
- case. But this is a case of a parachuted candidate replacing a loyal
- local party worker, and a parachuted WASP, instead of a local ethnic
- candidate.
