Talk:Jen Hunter

Suggested addition
Hunter chose to run for office in order to increase the number of women running. "We stand for more women running and winning, and I believe I can run and win." She believes in giving more federal money to cities, and in income splitting.

Chianello, a columnist for the Ottawa Citizen, says that she doesn't take Green party members seriously and that none of them has a chance of winning, pointing out that Hunter's official campaign launch was two weeks into a five-week campaign and featured a drumming session. Hoedeman, Hunter's director of communications, countered that the campaign office had already been open before the official launch, that the official launch was delayed a few days out of respect for the passing of Marion Dewar, and that the drumming was to raise the morale of campaign volunteers. (Marion Dewar, former mayor of Ottawa, was the mother of one of the candidates in the riding. ) Hunter says she's running an "inspiring, engaging, innovative and fun" campaign.

I suggest adding the above material to this article. I've tried to write it according to WP:NPOV. I'm a regular Wikipedian but because of privacy I don't wish to associate my pseudonym with this article. I'm a volunteer with the Jen Hunter campaign, which is why I've decided to refrain from editing the article directly per WP:COI. 70.48.50.161 (talk) 00:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Redirect
Per the decision of the rfd discussion, I have changed the page to a redirect to Green_Party_candidates,_2008_Canadian_federal_election and moved an abreviated version of relevant information and references to that page. Nutiketaiel (talk) 17:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
