In my more pathetic hours I can be found staring at the number of email opens my latest CALM e-newsletter has had. When I'm not sure what I should work on next, I log into the Mailchimp account to see how well our latest e-newsletter did: how many opens, how many shares, who unsubscribed and (most importantly) why?

It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

The former Prime Minister of Canada spent months deliberately stirring up prejudice against a group of Canadians for one reason only: political advantage. For a while, the spectre of terrorism and the niqab controversy gained him support at the polls, as many Canadians and Quebecois embraced the Conservative anti-Muslim message.

Waist-deep in mud of its own making, the NDP keeps digging

J. Baglow

| November 13, 2015

Memo from Anne McGrath, National Campaign Director, "Canada's New Democrats," asking me to participate in a "survey." Extracts:

Since just last week, more than 10,000 Canadians have taken this survey on the election and what to focus on moving forward.

Before we finalize our next steps, I'd like to know what you think.

The more we know about your priorities, the better we can help bring the change you want after a decade of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

What do you mean by "we," Anne?
