Dan Baril, a party strategist, resigned his post.
…I strongly advised against doing Central Nova and against doing what happened on Friday,” Baril told the Star shortly after submitting his resignation.
…”Everything they’re hearing (from political opponents) are things I advised them they were going to be facing after this and that it was going to hurt them, and so therefore don’t do it or do it differently,” Baril said. Green party officials decided Sunday their bare-bones budget could no longer support Baril’s salary, but backed away from suggestions he’d been dismissed.
“He felt that I wasn’t taking his advice adequately, and at the same time he was the most expensive person in the system – more than me or anybody else – so that was hard,” May said. “He’s worth every penny of it, but we’re not that kind of party. We don’t have those kinds of dollars.” Toronto Star
Published 1 year, 5 months agoFor several weeks, even a month or two, I’ve been struggling with a difficult decision I arrived at over the weekend and which I have decided upon today.
In short, I can’t help a client that stops listening and I can’t afford, any longer, that I might have been the strategist on-board when the ship went down given my efforts to try and prevent it.

Why does May even need Dan Baril as party strategist … she has Stephane Dion to do that for her and the party!!!
Good luck with that, ‘hey!
The honeymoon is over I think, May had 8 months of grace with her party and the public.
She doesn’t have Baril anymore and he used many words to explain why.:^)
