Specific objections

The Citizen has a right of centre editorial policy and mainly endorsed Conservative candidates. Their endorsement was widely seen as a move to split the NDP vote rather than a sincere vote of confidence in Chernushenko.

This may be true, but what evidence do you have? As it stands, it's only speculation. CJCurrie 02:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was however part of a general pattern of failure by that party to reach it's goals in 2006, compounded by negative publicity about leader James R. M. Harris and tactics in that election, which Chernushenko had very strongly supported, co-authoring with Lynette Tremblay and Andrew Lewis a "letter of support" that was widely derided as a "loyalty oath" (first by David Orton whose rejection was quickly picked up by others). It had praised the "dedicated staff" who many candidates objected to: a third of the candidates did not sign the oath.

"General pattern of failure" is POV -- as is "loyalty oath" for that matter. Also, there was no "widespread derision" of the letter, in the sense that most people have never heard of it. CJCurrie 02:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever their ethics, the tactics did not pay off in an substantially increased vote. Across Canada, the GPC vote stood at 4.5%, up only 0.2% from 2004 and far short of the promised "one million votes" and "several MPs" Harris had stated as his goals.

"Whatever their ethics" is obviously leading and unencyclopedic. CJCurrie 02:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chernushenko had also previously opposed the party's internal "revenue sharing" that sought to distribute public funds equitably to local branches of the party. This was a very controversial stance, as the sharing was eventually approved by an overwhelming majority of the members who lived in districts with their own branches of the Party.

Interesting comments. What proof do you have? CJCurrie 02:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Though Chernushenko was widely rumoured to be considering seeking the leadership of the party, given his strong association with Harris and the staff, it seemed more likely that he would continue to support Harris, and unlikely that Chernushenko stood much chance of succeeding him. He had alienated Harris' opponents with the "loyalty oath" and support of a highly centralized party. As of February 2006 only Claude Genest had formally entered the race to succeed Harris.

This is entirely speculative. Also, there is no "race to succeed Harris" (a scheduled leadership challenge is not the same thing). CJCurrie 02:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Added POV tag. Article reads like an ad and has various non-specific resume-like claims. Someone more familiar with the subject please add citations for resume claims, or remove them.

Edited out "Has traveled to Finland, Malaysia". His international flight itinerary is non-encyclopedic. Where he has travelled to is not important or relevant.Memahb 02:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations have been added. Reading like an ad isn't POV. Are there more specific concerns? Ardenn 02:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the citations, but the citation 2. doesn't go anywhere. Also, the fact that UNEP published a publication he wrote doesn't mean that he worked for them. Please also provide citations for him having worked for CIDA and DFAIT. No other concerns. Memahb 03:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Odd, citation 2 works fine for me. As for the UNEP, I'll see what I can find shortly. Ardenn 03:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
