Leading the #NDP13 festivities today, again: @jinnysims and @alexboulerice, who are now introducing Murray Rankin.by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 1:13:54 PM

RT @InfoAlerteBot: THERE'S ALREADY A LINE AT THE NO/POINT OF ORDER MIC. SOME ARE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIALIST CAUCUS. THIS BODES WELL. #ndp13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 1:14:47 PM

I'm a bit confused why Murray Rankin appears to be giving a speech. Does this count against the hour allotted for the enviro plenary? #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 1:20:41 PM

So far, I'd say the Conservative Party is far more generous in allowing its delegates time to debate/vote on resolutions on the floor #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 1:21:17 PM

Big round of applause for @romeosaganash #ndp13. He speaks in his incredibly lovely soft French (sorry, I really like his accent).by Laura Payton via twitter 4/13/2013 3:43:45 PM -
Are there time limits on speakers? #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 3:44:19 PM

BTW, the next resolution is also on First Nations issues: specifically, aboriginal education. Then, electoral reform! #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 3:45:35 PM

Honestly, an hour of Idle No More speeches would have been a better idea than having it inadvertently hijack this plenary. #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 3:54:33 PM

And now, the question. As expected, the Idle No More resolution passes unanimously. Onto First Nations education! #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 3:56:54 PM

Let's all welcome back Brother Chair Steve Moran, who has a point of order before he even says a word. #NDP13by kady o'malley via twitter 4/13/2013 7:34:23 PM
