| Description | Former deputy prime minister Sheila Copps is helping out the Tory and NDP candidates in the Hamilton East-Stoney Creek riding in a bid to unseat her former Liberal colleague and political rival Tony Valeri.
Copps told the Hamilton Spectator that she is advising the campaign of Conservative Frank Rukavina and encouraging supporters to back the NDP's Wayne Marston in the Jan. 23 federal election.
Copps did not explicitly endorse Marston, but said she is helping out because she believes it's important for the political process.
Copps lost a nomination battle in the riding to Valeri last year. But she challenged the results, claiming there were voting irregularities. And she accused senior Liberals of trying to push her out of politics because she challenged Paul Martin for the leadership of the party. |
