I think they all did pretty well on The Agenda. In this series of interviews, however, Tabuns was far better than Horwath.

As for Andrea, where was her support for women when Christopherson's provincial seat opened up. A black woman was going to become candidate uncontested, but Andrea called up Wayne Marston and asked him to come home from Atlanta and run. Marston came home, but Andrea jumped ship ended up supporting a different white guy altogether! And where was Andrea's support for women when she gave up her municipal seat to run provincially? Andrea wouldn't endorse the female, NDP candidate who was a local riding president for OPSEU - Andrea choose to endorse the male, liberal candidate. So much for party loyalty and helping women in our party...
I have no reason to think that your version of events above is anything but an exercise in creative writing, but let's take on your point.
Where was Michael Prue's support for women when Frances Lankin resigned?
Where was Peter Tabuns' support for women when Marilyn Churley resigned?

Marilyn Chruley has endorsed Michael and considered him one of her allies while working internally in the party on women's issues. She told me this herself. Michael Prue was right there for Marilyn Churley. Always was and always will be.

Looks like Lost in Bruce County needs to apologize to Horwath.
I think the moderators should contemplate some action here if that doesn't happen. Lying is not cool.
Myrie pursues NDP Hamilton West seat

A Spectator columnist and social development consultant wants to represent Hamilton West and the NDP in the next provincial election.
Evelyn Myrie, owner of an art shop and the co-chair of Hamilton's Black History Committee, announced her decision to try to replace outgoing MPP David Christopherson yesterday.
"We have good representation right now and I'd like to carry that mantle and have a strong voice at Queen's Park," Myrie said. "Ontarians deserve access to affordable housing, quality education and health care, child-care and affordable public power."
Wayne Marston, public school board trustee and head of Hamilton's labour council, announced his intention to run last week.
Myrie said she would be "a people's politician -- someone who listens to the public, validating their concerns."
Ward 2 Councillor Andrea Horwath chose not to throw her hat in the ring for the NDP Hamilton West nomination, but threw her support behind Myrie instead.
"She is a bright, energetic woman who brings many perspectives to the table that will only enrich the debate," Horwath stated in the release.
The provincial election is expected next spring.

My point is that you can't question Andrea's commitment to advancing women based on some fictionalized version of events (thoroughly refuted above by Sunday Hat) without having your candidate judged by the same standard.

Well Scott & Sunday I do apologize. I had heard about Andrea supporting Roy from several long time Hamiltonian NPD'ers this past weekend. To my credit, I did perform several Google searches and nothing came up.
Andrea did refuse to support Kelly Hayes from the CLC and instead endorsed Liberal Bob Bratina who continues to hold Andrea's old seat today. Shame on Andrea!

Scott why are you so adamant about supporting Andrea because she is a woman. A rational stance would be to support the best PERSON. True equality no?

I am supporting the best person.
You keep saying that I am supporting her only because she's a woman. I've never said that, because it's not true.
