Is Mary MacDonald the same person who lost Strathcona to the NDP in 1997?
Thanks, Dave. I will add these to my list of upcoming nomination meetings at the Pundits' Guide.
Anonymous: Yes, Mary MacDonald was the Edmonton-Strathcona Liberal candidate in the 1997 provincial election. Here were the results:
Raj Pannu, NDP: 4,272 (31.84%)
Mary MacDonald, L: 4,214 (31.41%)
John Logan, PC: 4,096 (30.53%)
John Forget, SC: 552 (4.11%)
Myles Kitagawa, G: 236 (1.76%)
Eshwar Jagdeo, NLP: 47 (0.35%)
(Turnout 56.34%)
It was a close race as only 176 votes separated the top three candidates.
PG: Thanks for the link. Glad I could provide the info!
Dave, I was waiting for you to write about the lack of interest in the nominations and to say the least I'm disappointed. You took the time to criticize the CPC for a hard fought nomination between three candidates in Strathcona, so it would seem to be a double standard.
Thoughts?
SD: Thanks for the comment. It wasn't an intentional double standard, but a lack of time when I originally posted this last night (hence the lack of commentary on this post).
I plan to write about it next week.
