Talk:Don Meredith (politician)

message: You claimed in an edit note that the GTA Faith Alliance website "Meredith is the only Member of the "coalition"" I can find no such statement. In fact, there are several references to "alliance members" (plural). While in the pulldown menu Meredith is the only member profiled it's an assumption to conclude from that that the website is stating he is the sole member, particularly when there are statements such as "the GTA Faith Alliance, a group of churches and religious organizations...".

message: *"Rev. Meredith is completing his ministerial ordination as he establishes a church in Richmond Hill."  (2006)
*"Rev. Don Meredith is a licensed minister with Rhema Studies of Theology Association"  (October 1, 2007)
According to its website "Rhema Studies of Theology Association & Biblical Training received Registered Charities status with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency on June 14, 1999. On December 18, 2001 RSOTA received the Charter to Ordain and register ministers to obtain marriage licence." They do not list their ordinations online but I'm sure if you phoned them up (416.879.9303) they'd tell you whether Meredith is on their rolls. Now your findings would be original research but if you were to find that his claims of ordination are false I'm sure the media would be interested. So, if you feel there is merit in your suspicion why don't you go out and try to prove that the GTA Faith Alliance website is false in its assertion about Meredith's ordination?

message: In the Warner article Plett (the party president) doesn't actually say these are the reasons though he doesn't deny it other. He says "But I'm not suggesting that. I'm simply saying that we can't discuss the reasons why. If Mr. Warner says that is the reason, then he's, I guess, telling everybody `I wasn't prepared to go along with the rules.'"
We can really only say based on the Star article that the reasons are alleged and that the Tories have refused to comment. However, the CP article we cite in the Meredith article, correctly or not, makes an unequivocal statement so I'm not going to quibble since CP is a reliable source. I'm going to check again though to see if the CP article mentions the AIDS conference. If not, then I suggest we not give that as an unequivocal reason. (Personally, I think it probably was part of it but that's just my opinion). Reginald Perrin (talk) 18:43, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Kibomt asked me to come review the dispute here. To be honest, I'm not sure this article needs to go into any detail about the specific reasons behind Warner's dismissal as the Conservative candidate. Warner has his own separate article, which is wikilinked from here — any sourced detail on the Warner dismissal should be in that article, certainly, but it's of only minimal importance in this one. Here, it's sufficient to just say Meredith became the new Conservative candidate after Warner was dismissed and leave it at that. IMO, anyway. Bearcat (talk) 16:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that the nention should be brief in the Meredith article.  I don't agree that this is of "minimal importance"  Dismissing a nominated candidate in this way is somewhat unprecedented in our political system so the reasons for the dismissal are relevant to the replacement candidate.  This seems to be especially true where the sponsored replacement candidate appears to have very different social views to the replaced candidate, especially in a very diverse riding such as Toronto Centre. For what it is worth, that appears to be the way the blog comments are going so far. --Kibomt (talk) 18:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
