Olivia Chow announces her intentions to stay completely impartial in the impending New Democrat leadership polls. She says she would welcome anyone who qualifies to take her late husband, Jack Layton’s place.
Chow said: “It’s one person, one vote. I’m a person. I’m going to vote. Are you kidding?
This Friday, several new Democrats got together in Ottawa to thrash out and settle on preliminary policies for the alarming leadership contest. These basic rules included the timeline, location, spending limit and entry fee, which are likely to be much more than the $7,500 spent in the 2003 leadership contest.
In Ottawa, Chow told the reporters: “There are lots of amazing talents in the NDP. I have trust that there will be a wonderful leader being elected and as the person that had been married (to) Jack Layton for so long and shared his life passion — both spiritually and through his work — I don’t think it’s fair for me to comment on which leader is better than others.”
She added: “One thing that Jack had is that he believed every individual has great strength, a different kind of strength. He believed in people’s potential. He believed that there is greatness inside of every person, every human being, so for me to comment that one person is better than others, I don’t think that’s my place.”
