Maureen McTeer's endorsement at the 2003 convention

As a delegate to that convention, I saw no such evidence of Maureen McTeer's endorsement. In addition, her memoir, "Im my own Name," Only mentions David Orchard to bemoan his decision to force a second round of voting in 1998.

Orchard's position on same-sex marriage

This article states, "Despite holding many leftist economic views, Orchard holds many socially-conservative positions such as his avowed support for the traditional definition of marriage."

Could someone please provide evidence towards this claim? In a search on Google I could not find statements by Orchard either for or against same-sex marriage in Canada. Thanks, Kurieeto 19:57, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

After one week I've received no responses to my request for evidence supporting the current statement in this article about Orchard's views of same-sex marriage. I'm therefore deleting the sentence. Kurieeto 23:09, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

Article...

I won't pull the POV card (I think it conforms to the standard), but this article seems very highly speculative, and kind of paints Orchard as a mastermind of deception. Does anyone else agree?Habsfannova 18:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the line saying "One September poll had the Alliance at 13% and the PCs at 19%." Polls from 2003 generally had the CA and PC parties within the margin of error of each other, so pulling out a particular poll that had a greater difference seems misleading. It could be worth mentioning if Orchard specifically cited that poll in his argument, though.--The Invisible Hand 23:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

$70,000

"On January 31, 2006, a Toronto judge ordered the Conservative Party of Canada to pay Orchard $70,000, the funds from his 2003 leadership campaign which he had been owed since then." What news since then? Has Orchard been paid? Are the Conservatives dragging their feet? 74.102.58.135 23:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
