Ah so that's where you've been.
Yep. Yay 14 hour days, seven days a week!
TAKE A STANCE AGAINST UJJAL DOSANJH! FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS - HE'S BETRAYED THE NDP BEFORE, DON'T LET HIM DECEIVE YOU AGAIN!!!!
"Principles? Ethics? Commitment? The April 1 announcement of former NDP premier Ujjal Dosanjh's instant candidacy for the Paul Martin federal Liberals is about none of the above. No, it's about Dosanjh selling out his principles for power. It's a desperate attempt to become a cabinet minister in a scandal-ridden government that will say and do anything to stay in office." - Bill Tieleman, April 8, 2004

Ujjal has been flapping his gums with all sorts of untrue statements. His statements stand to be corrected. His actions of running a smear campaign is despicable. He's made up stories about his political opponent's fabricated relations, and digs deep into family feud issues just to cause an 80 year old woman grief. Ujjal can and will sell you and your family out - he's done it before he can do it again! In a personal letter hand-delivered to Dosanjh and obtained exclusively by theGeorgia Straight , McLaughlin accuses Dosanjh of betraying his own NDP supporters for "prospective personal gain".
McLaughlin, who became the first woman to lead a federal party in the House of Commons when elected NDP leader in 1989, says in the April 7, 2004, letter that Dosanjh's decision to run as the Liberal candidate in Vancouver South can only be viewed as a result of "pure personal ambition and ego".
"As a former leader of the New Democratic Party, I am writing to express my dismay at your decision to run as a candidate for the Liberal party," McLaughlin wrote. "I certainly understand when people decide to change political parties, it is part of the individual choice of Canadians which I respect.
"However, I do not believe that your decision can be seen other than in the light of pure personal ambition and ego. You have been quoted as saying it is about 'principle' not party. This is ridiculous in your case, just be honest and state that you have taken this decision for prospective personal gain."
