Just an observation: it's pretty amazing that on one hand, people don't like Dinning for being "Liberal lite", and on the other hand, people don't like him for being a "Calgary corporatist". Tough breaks when you can't appeal to either side.

Dinning giving Paul Martin's campaign $25,000 (and a personal note of encouragement)to run against Stephen Harper had alot to do with it.
ReplyDelete"Even Dinning said he can't help but agree he was fighting the Calgary tag all along."
ReplyDeleteFor me I didn't care that he was from Calgary, It's that he was the big business and corporate Calgary candidate.
