Tom Mulcair is unsettling because he always looks uncomfortable. Has anyone picked up on this? (What? Oh, it was on facebook. I like to stay appraised of goings-on in Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel.)
Well that didn’t take long. Ruthless ambition! A lot of ‘Oh, oh!’s in Monday’s hansard.
also receiving votes - Charlie Angus brings up electoral fraud, DDM responds with the most ridiculous non-answer I can remember. Angus plays along. Still no ahn-swers.

In our on-going series of things tumblr isn’t interested in… the various ‘web presence’ numbers available for the NDP leadership candidates.
1. Alexa’s worldwide page ranking for the candidates’ leadership campaign websites.
2. Twitter followers, including Topp & Nash’s francophone doppelgangers.
3. Likes on facebook.
4. And the numbers of hits their wikipedia pages have had in the last 30 days.
The numbers show who has the most people actively ‘following’ their campaigns online, and who has the most people typing their name into google trying to figure out just who the hell any of them are. Is any of this interesting? Maybe. Is it relevant? Perhaps not. These are small numbers, from the (ugh) ‘net-savvy’ fraction of interested onlookers, and the campaign still relies on plenty of MSM coverage (dismissive as it may be) and lotsa ground work. Not to mention the cabal of party insiders who (I assume) really decide this nonsense.
Would like to find a way to track the number of mentions/tags on twitter, but one did not plainly present itself.
