A few leadership notes covering the gap between Sunday's informal debate and tonight's version in Saskatoon...
- Niki Ashton unveiled her justice platform, proposing a "judicare" program to ensure greater access to the legal system as well as soft drug decriminalization.
- Nathan Cullen took questions from Aaron Wherry, featuring his view that energy is the "elephant in the room" which isn't getting as much attention as he'd like in the leadership campaign.
- Paul Dewar earned a report from Tim Naumetz on his party-building plan, as well as a story from the Star.
- Thomas Mulcair strengthened his standing in Atlantic Canada with endorsements from multiple Nova Scotia MLAs, including Finance Minister Graham Steele.
- Peggy Nash talked to David Akin about the leadership campaign so far, including the fund-raising numbers released last week.
- Romeo Saganash appeared on CBC's C'est la Vie,
- Finally on the commentary side, Scott Stinson wasted plenty of space concern trolling over the fact that NDP leadership candidates haven't piled up money they wouldn't be allowed to spend before raising the slightly more relevant question of whether donor numbers might be an issue. And Ian followed up on some of the problems with Nathan Cullen's electoral cooperation plan.
