    Does anyone know what David Orchard is doing now, re: electoral politics? I heard a rumour (on the \'net) he was talking to the NDP. Does anyone know if this is true? He\'s been quiet for a few months now...

    Well I don\'t know what David Orchard is up too. But, I will admit its been frustrating that David hasn\'t tried to give Canadians an option. He speaks of saving Canada, but he can\'t do much being as quite as he is.

    I hope to hear from anyone who attends his events and can maybe get the answer to what he is going to do next politically.

    Thanks! I look forward to any information you can get;-)
    I\'ve tried emailing them and haven\'t got a response in a while. Maybe they think I\'m media or something ;-)

    I would have to say that if David Orchard joined a current party like the NDP or was the leader of CAP. I would be behind him. I\'m also interested in seeing what he does with some people\'s interest in still trying to resurrect the PC party.

    Either they will legally not be able too, or they will be able to use the Progressive Canadian Party name. If David Orchard was to to lead this new party, or resurrect the progressive conservative party. Again I would be behind him 100%.

    I hope someone gets a update on what his plans are, cause he has been way too quite during these times.

    Kevin, you are probably right, they might be thinking you are from the corporate media with links to the Gagnon chocolate co. You should put a message in the subject of your email, \'I am not with them\' ....just teasin\'

    But I agree, I would like to hear a report from the visitor attending the Orchard night...you are lucky Kevin, I never ever received a response from David Orchard and I sent numerous emails before the convention!!
