Interesting email today from Jennifer Bernier, President of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue NDP. She wants Jack Layton gone and a new leader chosen in the next five months to be ready for the next election. Why?
1. Loss of credibility
2. Scripted leadership
3. No lasting campaigns
4. Issue-less elections
5. Ineffective Opposition
6. Uninvolved membership
7. New leaders emerging
8. Dion
9. Centralized management
OK. And her choices for the leading candidates for leader: Stephen Lewis, Joe Comartin or Libby Davies.
Jennifer - good luck. If you survive Jack's wrath, you should be the new leader. And don't forget to look out for Olivia as well. Maybe she'll do for the whole party what she did for Helen Kennedy. Tony Ianno, come on down here!

Can you imagine if Stephen Lewis were the leader of the NDP?
That would certainly up the level of debate.
That's what I thought about Dion too... look how that turned out.
I think it is funny that the NDP drop in the polls a little and all of a sudden people start panicking.
I guess worry warts aren't limited to the Tories.
debate on the content aside, a wee FYI: this woman did not author the letter - it's an abuse of her name. of course she was contacted asap, was horrified, and sent this response around QC and federal party leadership today. it basically says the other email is a case of identity theft and that she DOES support jack.

Bonjour,
Je viens d´être informée qu´un courriel circule depuis ce matin en mon nom, à titre de présidente du NPD Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Je tiens à vous aviser que ce courriel est un canular. Je n´ai ni signé, ni écris ce texte. Je suis outrée par cet acte odieux qui est d´une bassesse qui en dit long sur son ou ses concepteurs.
Soyez rassurés, mon allégeance au NPD n´est nullement ébranlée. D´ailleurs, je suis fière d'avoir un chef comme Jack Layton et que je lui donne tout mon appui.
Sachez que je continue de croire que Jack Layton et le NPD sont toujours le meilleur choix pour les citoyennes et citoyens de ma circonscription comme pour le reste des canadiens et canadiennes.
En toute solidarité,
Jennifer Bernier
Présidente, NPD Abitibi—Témiscamingue
