Changed importance as per WikiProject Political parties and politicians in Canada. Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk) 13:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

The reason this page is ranked poorly in trustworthiness and objectivity is because many statements are heavily biased without substantiated evidence. All references to Topp's debate performances are highly subjective and do not adequately reflect what it means to be objective. Just because a few newspaper articles reviewed him positively, there are just as many which reviewed him poorly. To remain objective, it is best not to continually post opinion pieces or draw generalizations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjlm3 (talk • contribs) 00:23, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It reads like a press release at times and needs to be polished up!

I'm really failing to see the importance on this. If McArthur's speculation had transformed into something substantive, then I could see it. Also, McArthur hasn't been mentioned in the media since his initial accusation months ago - except (get this) an article mentioning his support for Mulcair. So it appears that the accusation was more about smearing Topp then reflecting any sort of reality. Both Saganash and Julian denied his insinuation. This is just the drive-by smear of one guy and team Mulcair. I've left it for now, but added that McArthur is a Mulcair supporter, but I'd like to remove it - or at least cut it down. 74.13.246.50 (talk) 16:58, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

It was speculation and candidates still entered the race, which could be mentioned, but I don't see any reason to get rid of it. You're probably bias towards Topp but this isn't the place for that. I'll wait to see what others think. Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm a journalist. That section just irks me. The guy is relatively unknown prof who is in Thomas Mulcair's camp, comes out and slams Topp with no evidence to back it up, and then fades away. I just think it's unnecessary. If we include every critique of Topp, the article would be much longer. The relevant stuff would be more useful. But I'm fine waiting for a third opinion. 174.91.219.134 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC).Reply

Is there real merit to that long list of endorsements by individual NDP members? Canuckle (talk) 23:59, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
