Orchard Still Planning To Seek Liberal Nomination

Liberal Party hopeful David Orchard says he hasn’t given up hope of representing the party in the Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River riding.
The organic farmer says he fully intends to continue his march towards the nomination process, whenever that begins.
Orchard believes the party suffered the effects of Stephane Dion’s appointment of Joan Beatty at the ballot box on Monday night.
He says northern citizens want to see a democratic process, and maintains several prominent northerners have told him to keep fighting for the nomination.
Orchard says he isn’t bitter about how his ambitions were derailed by the Liberals, but adds he wants to see a return to grassroots democracy.
