Brian Topp draws perhaps the most profound compliment of the NDP leadership race to date.

NDP leadership candidate Brian Topp has concluded an energetic five-day swing through BC with a slew of new supporters including Todd Wong, the renowned founder of the Gung Haggis Fat Choy cross-cultural celebration. "Brian has a wonderful humanistic quality. I found him to be thoughtful and caring - not aggressive or aloof. People that I admire and trust - they trust and admire Brian, and now so do I," Wong said after meeting with Topp at a Chinese New Year’s celebration.

"Wonderful humanistic quality" improves upon Libby Davies’ gushing that Mr. Topp possessed a "cuteness about him."
