Peter Tabuns missed me
This morning I finally got around to reading the campaign postcard that Peter Tabuns had slipped through my mailslot last week. Peter had even taken the trouble to personalise the card by writing "Sorry I missed you - Peter" on the front.
Too bad he had not taken the trouble to clearly state what he what running for.
Worse, when I went to his website to vertify that he was, in fact, running in the by-election for the position of M.P.P. (as Marilyn Churley had stepped down to run in the federal election) I discovered that the website wasn't even ready yet.
As much as I am an NDP supporter in principle I really wish that they were more organized.
Oh, and Peter, as much as I believe in more community policing and funding for our classrooms, it would really help if you spelled out where the money to pay for this is going to come from. Having already gone through the Harris years, as well as the employment hell that was 2004, my contemporaries and I are of the opinion that with Harper in power there is no point in relying on the feds.

PeterTabuns.ca was the website used for Peter's campaign to win the nomination. Now that he's the official candidate, his campaign website is PeterTabunsNDP.ca. The old site will shortly be forwarding to the new one.
Cheers,

The first comment should direct you to the site. Also, I must say that I completely disagree with your view about the NDP and it's campaign organization. They are known for running campaigns better than any other party.
Tabuns has been clear that he thinks $700 million is too much to spend a massive new powerplant on the waterfront. He has been organizing the community on this issue since the summer.
Peter's site still does not give you any information on how he will deal with Toronto-Danforth's main concerns only that he's addressing them. And pleeeeease don't just give us the old NDP line of 'throwing more money' into a problem versus telling us how you are going to do something.
The Federation of Metro Tenants has endorsed the Peter Tabuns campaign.
They have also exposed that Ben Chin is a bad slum landlord - a big enough reason never to vote for him!
PC, I have see NDP campaigns close up - I have been in Jack Layton's *home* in the thick of it.
If the NDP is runs their campaigns better than any other party then we really are on a sorry state of affairs.
