Doug Currie was promised a cabinet post by Robert Ghiz--he also worked as a poll chairman for Chester Gillan in the last election and is now finding it difficult to get volunteers for his campaign. Apparently, Islanders dislike traitors. Who knew?
Richard Brown is telling voters to fill out government applications and take them to his campaign office, perhaps the most illegal act yet. Quite foolish too seeing as how they're not expected to win the election.
Carolyn Bertram openly admits that she made a mistake (to her campaign workers) that she should have ran in District 17, and that she will most likely be defeated in 18.
Sean Casey (Liberal Party president) is under harsh criticism for writing American-style attack ads--and may be turfed as president before May 28.
District 13 Liberal assocition, Ghiz's home district, is running on empty with a skeleton crew of volunteers. According to one of his EDA members, 9 of his poll chairs are "rookies" who don't actually know the people in the area.
The Tories are expecting John Abbott to take down Ghiz.
The Liberals' cover has been blown wide open by peipolitics.blogspot.com. The local blogger has identified several fake letters to the editor hitting the Guardian this week. All of which were written by the Liberal party itself and signed off by partisan followers. The opposition party has also attempted to suppress public disapproval of Ghiz on websites such as peiinfo.com and others.
The Young Liberals have also been caught pressuring undecided voters to join a Facebook group that is pro-Ghiz. The group, which indicates support for Ghiz in the election, is filled with people who openly admit to having no affiliation to Ghiz whatsoever--many of which dislike his 'leader'ship qualities. These youth are heckled if they attempt to leave the group, and others are bombarded with demands to join the group until they finally cave in. The perpetrators are Cory Stevenson, Julie Mutch and other blind followers of Ghiz. Their goal, is to inflate the group with false numbers and then bring the group to the attention of local media outlets--attempting to make Ghiz appear youthful, and the choice of the next generation.
Incidentally, some Young PC members had created a group for Premier Pat Binns months prior to the Liberal group. But they don't appear to be actively recruiting for it--leaving it only for the actual supporters of Pat Binns to join up. (Premier Pat Binns joined Facebook months ago after a group of students invited him to do so--he now has about 700 Island youth on his "friends" list. Robert Ghiz joined a few weeks after the Premier, but he blocks his profile out including the numbers of his friends list. Probably because he is so far behind the premier).
More to come...
