Tony Genco is the Liberal by-election candidate in Vaughan. He’s facing off against high-profile Conservative candidate Julian Fantino.
Despite Genco’s relatively unknown profile, why would he not even mention himself (or his leader Michael Ignatieff) on his lit piece that he’s handing out at doors in the constituency? Is Genco relying more on the Liberal brand which is likely polling higher than the Ignatieff brand in Vaughan?
Also amusing are Genco’s tweets. Here are a couple of my favourites:
Canvassing with Ken Dryden tomorrow in #Vaughan. Join us. #NHL #MapleLeafs #Cdnpoli
Thanks to the 1200 people who came out and supported our kickoff rally last night in #Vaughan. Get involved at http://tonygenco.liberal.ca
Vaughan Today reports on Michael Ignatieff’s comments in Vaughan,
“You always know something big is happening when you’ve got a dozen MP’s and senators up here,” Ignatieff said. To cheers and music he told the audience of 250 “we must win Vaughan.”
1200 as an overestimate for 250? C’mon!
