There will be among those practicing politics as among any other group of us
those who fall short and those who grossly abuse their positions in life.
It is my belief it is better that members of individual Riding Associations not
Party Leaders nominate candidates seeking to obtain election as Members.
Outraged by a nominated candidate being removed while campaigning in 2007
the continuing effects of such gross interference have been followed .
Last night and early this morning my views on these developments
were organized in a Letter to the Editor the last sent out at 3:16 a.m.
A copy follows for your consideration and comment.
Senator Don Meredith facing ethics probe over allegations that he harassed and bullied staff, source says

Senator Don Meredith facing ethics probe over allegations that he harassed and bullied staff, source says
Sen. Meredith misconduct investigation to be referred to Senate ethics officer
From: Joe Hueglin <joe.hueglin@bellnet.ca>
Subject: Don Meredith: How did such a person became a Senator?
Cc:
Dear Editor,
Independent Senator Don Meredith, now ejected from the Conservative Party, is subject to ethics probes over allegations he harassed and bullied staff and had an affair with an 16 year old girl. Having termed himself until recently "Dr. Meredith", and having sought payment for an unauthorized trip add to the question of how such a person became a Senator.
Meredith's career in politics began when "In December 2007, he was nominated by the Conservative Party of Canada as its candidate in the downtown Toronto riding of Toronto Centre federal by-election Meredith won the Conservative nomination by acclamation several weeks after the party controversially removed Mark Warner as its standard-bearer.�
Warner, who from February when acclaimed as candidate by the Toronto Centre Conservative Riding Association had been campaigning, was arbitrarily removed "I learned that the party's national council has taken the unprecedented step of disallowing my candidacy over the objection of leading members of the Toronto Centre Conservative EDA (electoral district association)...Warner wrote."
Meredith's acclamation as Warner's successor was a decision of the central Conservative Party, presumably after acceptance of his multipage application demanded from individuals seeking permission to stand for nomination. This application would have included his attending but dropping out of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.
Most interesting, then, is that "The Prime Minister s Office specifically mentioned Meredith's master's degree from CSCU when it announced his appointment as a senator."
Though transparency and Accountability were the watchwords of the Conservative Party of Stephen Harper appointment of Don Meredith as a Senator the reasons leading to inaccurate facts being overlooked in the now obviated decision of appointing him as a "Conservative" may well have been related to this statement: "Senator Don MeredithProtected Tweets @SenatorDonM Fourth African-Canadian, first Jamaican in the Senate of Canada."
Yours very truly

The Conservative candidate for Toronto Centre, Mark Warner, says he's been dumped by his party because of "ongoing strategic and tactical differences" with the central campaign chiefs. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2007/10/31/tories_dump_toronto_candidate.html
