Unifor Jerry Dias Donated Money To Kellie Leitch Leadership Campaign
November 8, 2016 - 9:30am

Unifor director of communications Denise Hammond confirmed in an email that Dias and Leitch are friends, and that the donation was “personal”.
“Jerry Dias and Kelly Leitch are personal friends and he made a contribution to her campaign. This was a personal donation and not a single cent was donated from or on behalf of the union,” she wrote.

Dias 'has to explain' donation to Leitch: Mulcair
Kind of reminds me of when Elizabeth May controversially gave a shout-out and a high-five to some Liberal candidate (no, not Stephane Dion!) because they were friends. I guess it can get awkward.
Kellie Leitch pledges to be Canada's Trump
Kill it before it grows.
Jerry Dias just tweeted
Let me be entirely clear, the politics of @KellieLeitch & I are polar opposite. I have no idea how she or any woman could support Trump
it doesn't work for me. she of cultural barbaric practices shouldn't be given money to run a party. woman or not.
Great coverup, Jerry. She was a real swell gal until suddenly today she came out in support of Trump. You are so smart!
The union movement has a serious cleanup job ahead of it. But like the NDP, it's extremely hard to find the rank and file stepping up with the hoses.
This. Must. Change.
The difference between the right and the left.
When Leitch saw what was happening just South of us last nite she fired off an email to garner support for her campaign.
The left's response - we had better study the situation.
