Lyn McLeod is very popular locally in Thunderbay. She has a high profile wihtin her community and won her seat in 87,09,95 with huge majorities. 100% of her home riding of Fort William will compose this new riding and I think that will secure her victory for the Liberals. Healthcare in Thunderbay has been under brutual attack by the Tories and like in Eastern Ontario this will assist the Liberals in winning seats in those regions. She also been a strong education advocate and that will resonant in this Northern community. Two thumbs up for Lyn McLeod in Thunderbay. |

M.P.P.Lyn McLeod has a very strong Riding Association who are committed to her return to the Legislature. The Riding Association and campaign team in team in Thunder Bay-Atikokan are very committed to the former leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. Her national, provincial and regional connections,her committment,integretity and honesty make her a well-liked and well supported person of the people and to liberalism.Liberals have won seats in Thunder Bay both Provincially and Federally for the past three elections. The Riding Association recognizes these attributes and will continue to support her. |

Odd as it may seem given her present popularity, 1995 was the first time Lyn McLeod got out of "marginal win" territory (her margin was held down by the PC incumbent she defeated in '87, and the Rae surge in '90). But I doubt she'll be sinking back under any time soon, even if she's now got the best NDP part of the NDP leader's ex-riding to deal with (uh, yeah, some deal...) |
