"...But this policy re-thinking and party re-organization and rebuilding must not in any way be“predetermined or pre-cooked by party insiders,” he says. In fact, he notes that Grits want a “culture of change” that focuses on engaging more women and aboriginals, youth and new Canadians – “and with very special and concerted attention to Quebec.”
That means getting rid of the “‘middle age white guys’ like myself,” Mr. Apps writes.
“After churning through four leaders in eight short years, many Liberals expressed resentment and fatigue over the cult and conflict of leadership which many argued, has dominated our party and poisoned our culture for too long, they want to select a new and permanent leader as a united party in as open and democratic a manner as possible, and for the long haul.”
He says Liberals want “generational transformation of the party’s leadership but also a generational renewal of the party’s membership.”
Ergo, what men (who can't jump) can't be transformative figures.
White males need not apply. Sounds superficially specious to me. The the path to the future is making sure we put a Token (see picture) leader so long as they make certain issues a part of the core platform? Is this guy for real? What happens if the best person for the job just happens to be, well, a middle-aged white guy? Is being an old black lady better? A young yellow female?
The logic is priceless.
So what happens next? Shiela Copps - who was part of the entire Liberal machine Canadians rebelled against - wants back in.
*Liberal party takes bow*
