"Gary Mar unrepentant on improper membership sales"
And super blogger Alberta Ardvark is relentless on following this story...
PCAA leadership candidate Gary Mar said his campaign volunteers did nothing wrong by selling party memberships within 50 metres of an Edmonton polling station. Adding that his supporters were only trying to help people who can't speak English. "Within the polling station, the advance polling station, you could buy a membership from the party," Mar said. "Except that there's no one at the party table that speaks three different dialects of Chinese."
Update: A scrutineer from the advanced vote says that she "spoke with at least 3 volunteers who were acting as interpreters and always available."This is how Gary Mar runs his campaign. If he were premier, this is one example of how he'd run our province.
And another thing... If I were on another campaign, I'd have the party double check the resident addresses of the members signed-up from other campaigns, or maybe just a specific one. Call it a hunch. I've seen it happen on other nomination races and it disgusts me. Luckily the candidate who was doing it didn't win.
