Stock's vote hungry handlers showed poor judgment with this vote losing ploy. Who is naive enough to believe " Day said he didn't know the media would be accompanying him" Totally incredible statement!!! ------------------>snip<---------------------- Sunday, November 12, 2000 Veterans accuse Stockwell Day of disrepect By Alison Auld -- The Canadian Press Stockwell Day received a cool reception yesterday from veterans who accused him of politicking on a day reserved for the memory of Canada's war heroes. Several legionnaires in Dartmouth said the Alliance leader appeared to be using Remembrance Day to boost his profile in a region where the party is trying to break ground. "This is an abuse of power - it's disrespectful and unethical," Earl Hare said at a Royal Canadian Legion branch moments after Day dropped into the hall with a handful of reporters and television cameras. "He came in with a great big bunch of cameras, and that wasn't appreciated." Day said he didn't know the media would be accompanying him and that people became angry only when reporters went inside. "Nobody was upset until you came in," Day, standing at a podium set up by the party outside the legion hall, told reporters. Several other party leaders visited legions throughout the country, but Day appeared to receive the most hostile reception. Hare said the Alliance leader shouldn't have held media interviews at the podium outside the legion if he wasn't interested in campaigning. "If it wasn't a showcase, then why do you have the podium outside?" asked Hare, who was inside the legion when Day made his half-hour visit. `Political gain' "It's insulting. You're not using it for remembrance - you're using it for political gain." Earlier in the day, Day attended a Remembrance Day service with his wife and son at the Halifax Grand Parade. NDP Leader Alexa McDonough also attended the ceremony, but didn't speak to Day, who was standing just metres away in a section reserved for dignitaries. Day's attendance at the Halifax service rankled some NDP organizers, who complained that the Alliance leader was trying to upstage McDonough in her home riding. Alliance organizers said Day's visit to the province wasn't an official campaign event and that the leader was in Halifax to visit one of his sons, Logan, who is studying law at Dalhousie University. Day, whose father served aboard a destroyer in the North Atlantic during the Second World War, also attended a small service at the Merchant Navy Memorial on the Halifax waterfront. One man, who waited for a half-hour with his young family to meet Day, said he was impressed by the leader's candour and would likely switch his vote to the Alliance after voting for the Tories in the past. "He shows the most integrity of any other leader," said Kevin Jolly, 30. "You might not always agree with his views, but at least he says what he thinks."
