Angry in the Great White North has just published the full text of the Doug Finley memo evaluating the major contenders for the Liberal Party leadership. The memo was leaked to the media this week, just ahead of the Liberal delegate selection to take place this weekend. Some people think the memo is a fake, an elaborate ruse to sow doubt and confusion among the delegates.
Well, read the full text of the memo yourself, including the handwritten margin notes, and decide for yourself.
Personally, I think it's legitimate.
Posted by Steve Janke at September 29, 2006 2:40 PMIts probably legit but it was a deliberate "leak".
There isn't any insight here about the candidates that isn't well known by anyone who pays attention.
And Tories have nothing to fear from the Liberals knowing what they think because the Liberals will tear themselves up second-guessing their intent.

Imaha.
Who wrote the notes.....it seems odd that you would write notes on your own memo.....who wrote the notes?
Posted by: Stephen at September 29, 2006 4:15 PMEvery Canadian should care. The Liberals still represent a fair share of your country. Conservative Canadians should recognize that the recent Conservative change was largely a reaction to Liberal corruption, and not a mandate to implement Conservative values.
To pretend the Liberal leadership issue is irrelevant to Canada, even Conservative Canada, is naive to the extreme.

Right, we should care. We need a good Opposition but don't see a lot of hope coming out the Liberal Camp at this point.
They have to stop acting like weasels, clean up their act.
We do need a spell of Conservative Government to clear the corruption.
What's going on in their leadership antics points to more of the same. It's maddening.
LIBERALS LIBERALS TORIES TORIES LETS TAR AND FEATHER EM BUT NOT MY FEATHERS SQUAWK SQUAWK
