Congratulations to the winners of the latest Guess Who contest!
Alice Funke (known to many politicos for her invaluable Pundits' Guide) from Ottawa, ON was chosen from among those who correctly guessed The Honourable Bill Graham, a Liberal MP who represented Toronto Centre, in Ontario, from 1993-2007 as the quoted MP (click here to read his quote). For those inquiring minds, the "tiny perfect mayor" to whom he lost his 1984 run was David Crombie, mayor of Toronto from 1972-1978 and an MP from 1978-1988.
Contest winners receive a book of their choice from the list of Canada's Best Political Writing. Alice chose Fights of Our Lives: Elections, Leadership and the Making of Canada by John Duffy. John was kind enough to donate a copy of his book to this effort. Thank you John.
Our Guess Who? contest runs every other Monday, and our next quote will be posted on Monday August 30th, with responses due by noon EST on Thursday September 2nd.
LABELS:
MPs, Guess Who, best political writing, John Duffy, Pundits Guide, Alice Funke
