Election 2006: 50% Less Grewal

Conservative Gurmant (Memorex) Grewal is bowing out in Newton-North Delta.

From what this page remembers, Gurmant's election (and his wife Nina's) in 2004 was largely the result of Paul Martin's whirlwind "Stop Stephie" tour of the 604 during the last week of that campaign. The PM argued voting NDP would elect more Conservatives. Enough NDP voters switched to the Liberals, and the Grewals come up the middle.

After remixing his duet with Ujjal Dosanjh, dishing out "free" advice to visa applicants, and skulking YVR for a mule, it didn't help that the NDP's fortunes South of the Fraser took a big leap forward on May 17, and that team will be in place for a federal campaign. It appears Grewal has heard the tape recording on the wall.

It's usually sad when a 'recording' career is cut short right after a snowstorm, but to Gurmant Grewal, this page says: I listened to the music of Buddy Holly. I watched the Buddy Holly Story. I used to have glasses that looked like Buddy Holly's. You sir, are no Buddy Holly.
