| September 3, 2011 | Barry wins nomination for ONDP candidate for Thornhill. The party's provincial secretary, Darlene Lawson, rescinded the nomination within 48 hours.[2] The excuse she gave was an article[which?] written by Barry which was critical of the party platform and leadership written weeks before he sought the nomination. The article was written around July 10, 2011 and Darlene approved Barry's bid for candidacy in her office in August 10, 2011. Since the article was written prior to her approval of his candidacy, it's unclear what changed between the meeting in her office and Barry's win of the nomination, other than the fact that he won. | [7] |
