Inset l to r: Adams, Mendicino, Oliver
David Akin at the Toronto Sun has winkled out news that Liberal Eve Adams has collected the names of more members of the Eglinton Lawrence riding association than Marco Mendicino, the local man who has wanted the nomination for a long time and is said to be well-liked around the neighbourhood. It is of interest because Adams, welcomed into the party by Justin Trudeau when she was effectively kicked out of the Conservatives, wants to face off against Finance Minister Joe Oliver. Adams is said to have 2,800 signatures to Mendicno’s 1,800. Can she get those names on paper into the nomination meeting on the night of July 25 (the last Sunday in July) or is it all just scribbling? And if foxy Eve can get the nomination can she possibly beat that consummate silver fox Joe Oliver? David Akin, Toronto Sun
