Some things in this Encyclopedia are surprisingly accurate.

However, there are some serious errors as well. I am sure you wish to provide your readers with all the facts.

I would be happy to clarify some of the Inaccuracies for you.

The most serious error was you coming to Alberta from back east, and then proceeding to tell others who want to come to Alberta from back east that they are not welcome. Garth of the Forest (talk) 14:14, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Notability
This entire article is a litany of defeats of a self-styled political activist that no one seems to want to elect for anything. Does anyone who runs for an office and loses get their own Wiki page?

This article should be marked for deletion.

Craig has also very obviously been making revisions. "Future of the new conservative movement", ROFL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.63.63.203 (talk) 14:56, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Chandler's edits
"Rumour has it Chandler has provided a 5 year long term and short term cash flow business plan, with detailed specifics to his Executive Council. "


 * Why is Craig using Wikipedia to spread rumours about what he may have done? Wikipedia is an encyclopeida. "Rumours" have no place here, only verifiable information.

"However, this has proven to be false ...."


 * It is unfortunate that the proof was not provided here.

"Others felt he was and is the future of the new conservative movement."


 * Name names, please. Who? Anyone with any credibility? Or are we talking about Craig's cat ?

"Chandler has shown an incredible knack for directing very large and organized right-wing gatherings in the past."


 * Craig added "incredible" here. It seems he also has an incredible lack of humility, and an incredible propensity for shameless self-promotion.

"Love him or hate him he does not appear to be going away and his influence keeps growing."

Does he Do his supporters really think that this is an appropriate addition to an encyclopedia? Ground Zero 12:21, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Don Leonardo's Comments To Ground Zero
Ground Zero. I find it alarming that you would blame Craig for anything when it was I who made the edits. Many people feel Craig is the future of Canada. The book the Next Canada mentions this as well and several people feel the same as I do. Why not call Craig as he suggested? Craig is well aware of this site as I am the one who pointed it out to him. Quite frankly, Craig does not care what people say about him as long as they are accurate. I will send the link to others to respond. Many people like MP Rob Anders, Calgary Alderman Ric McIver, Rev. Tristan Emmanuel, Mike Harris, Stephen Harper and others think very highly of Craig see PGIB's testimonial section for more.

Chandler keeps getting abused and falsely accused by people such as yourself and the attacks on him once again are shameful.

Don Leonardo, Calgary Alberta

PS He has a dog not a cat, but I am sure when you call him as you have asked he will clear up anything, but I will mention what you have typed.

 * Hello Mr. Leonardo. I've made an initial edit to make the article more encyclopedic.  In case you hadn't seen them already, I wanted to direct you to the pages for the policies and guidelines that Wikipedia operates by.  Specifically, policies regarding a neutral point of view, verifiability, and what Wikipedia is not.  Please also do not misinterpret the questions and requests of Wikipedians as "attacks". We seek only to make Wikipedia the best encyclopedia it can be. Kurieeto 00:01, May 30, 2005 (UTC)


 * It appeared to me that the edits had been made by Craig Chandler, and I now understand that that was a mistake. I withdraw the comments that I made suggesting that he was responsible for the edits. I encourage you, Don, to review the links that Kurieeto has posted. They will help you to understand why the edits that you (and not Craig Chandler) made were, in many cases, not appropriate for Wikipedia. I will also note that I bear no ill-will toward Chandler. I also am not going to spend my time calling someone who really is of no great significance, in my opinion. Ground Zero 12:56, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree, Craig Chandler is no longer of any significance. I believe this page should therefore be marked for deletion. Csears77 (talk) 20:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Let me rephrase that -- in my opinion, Chandler no longer meets the "Notability" criteria on Wikipedia for people, and therefore I propose this page be marked for deletion. Csears77 (talk) 20:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Chandler never ever met the "notability" criteria. He's a deplorable windbag who should have been run out of Alberta on a rail back in the nineties. Like Yabba Dabba Derek, who at least had the organization skills to get elected at least once, they are both transplanted easterners, like their hero Kenney, who came out here to this great province and only make the rest of us look bad.

Chandler should sue this site!
Whoever these people are they sure are almost slandering Craig. The lack of accountability to members was brought forward by only Barry Ashton who was served papers. As a member of PGIB I know I have been consulted and I have seen the books. Jeff Vermenen, Calgary

I would just like to suggest that someone add a section at the bottom of the page concerning his successful bid for the Alberta PC nomination in Calgary-Egemont.

I went to this page after reading a news story about Craig Chandler's rejected Tory nomination bid (Dec. 2, 2007). Expecting to find objective, biographical information, most of what I see here is self-glorification, with the most self-serving interpretation of every issue and event. Pages like this make a joke of Wikipedia.

Christopher Sears —Preceding unsigned comment added by Csears77 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Instead of just complaining I have decided to fix up the "Provinicial Politics" section by adding objective, verifiable information.

Christopher Sears —Preceding unsigned comment added by Csears77 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I updated the information on May 18, 2009. Tried to use neutral language throughout. Now includes details and documents on the human rights commission complaints. All information on this page should be documented now. Csears77 (talk) 15:41, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Really?
You guys are morons! Do you know Craig Chandler personally? NO! Dont talk stuff about a man who has changed the lives of many and made a difference in this world! Everyone focuses on the bad but never the good about this hounarable man. I hope one day he runs our provice as change will happen! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.75.194.62  (talk) November 5, 2011
