UPDATE: In what turns out to have been a serendipitously timed Globe and Mail online op-ed, Gerald Caplan reminisces about NDP conventions past, and somehow manages to be more entertaining than every speaker to address the Halifax crowd so far put together.

EVENUPDATEDIER: According to the NDP, it wasn’t up to the CPAC program director: the network has a contractual obligation to devote two hours on Friday to parliamentary content. You’d think they could make an exception for a live event, but I guess not.
