Political parties and politicians in Canada

I've made a few changes to improve this article, but it still needs work. The second paragraph uses overly loaded terminology and should be more neutral in tone. It would also be a good idea to flesh out the article (e.g., by including the subject's birthday, by mentioning his extensive union activism, etc.). Backing up the information with reliable sources would be a fine idea, too. I know that the subject used to have an entry in Who's Who in Toronto (I'm not sure if he still does), so perhaps someone with access to this source could use it as a reference.

I changed "undemocratically expelled" to "expelled." I have no idea whether or not Weisleder and his supporters were "undemocratically" expelled, but you shouldn't use this kind of loaded terminology in an encyclopedia article without backing it up with a reliable and disinterested source. (Incidentally, I have no personal or political stake in this debate; I doubt that's the case with the person who inserted the term "undemocratically" into the article). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.173.222.175 (talk) 18:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
