Appears elitism and cronyism failed for once in Canada. Maybe there is hope for this country to compete in the free market and reward people on merit before America eats our lunch, farts at the table and sends Canada off to fix desert. Knowing what I know, naaaw...we will play our fiddles while the Titanic sinks.
Lambropoulos� win is not without controversy as the man considered to be one of, if not the strongest candidate, was not allowed to run for the Liberal nomination.
Alan DeSousa, the well-known mayor of Saint-Laurent for the past 15 years, was not told why he was rejected as a candidate.
Many Liberal party members who voted Wednesday told The Canadian Press they were disappointed DeSousa wasn�t on the ballot and said they would have voted for him.
�Many people were upset,� said Vouloukos about DeSousa not being allowed to run and the party seemingly favouring James. �I think people being upset had an effect on the outcome but the most important thing is that she was able to mobilize the grassroots.�
