I wonder if this Mcfadyen is related to the former NHL player named Don Phillip McFadyen. He played for the Chicago Shamrocks and Chicago Blackhawks, as well as serving as an NHL linesman afterwords.

[edit] Howard Pawley... extreme right part

I don't want to get into an edit war but what exactly is the relevence of this part

Recently, He also stated that former Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley was influenced by communist thought. Pawley stated that only a extreme right-wing politician would think his government was left-wing.

Politicians say these kinds of things all the time, that is subjective opinion of one politician, it does not deserve a place in an encyclopedia especially since he is a new leader and when you google him the first link that shows up is to this page and that particular line somehow implies that he is extreme right-wing which is not the case.

• It was a ridiculous, over-the-top statement by a provincial party leader who could be the next Premier of Manitoba. There's no reason not to mention it. CJCurrie 03:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I concur with whomever listed the objection about the segment which quotes Howard Pawley. In fact, it seems hardly pertinant to mention this; a definite ad hominem attack. In light of the upcoming election in Manitoba it seems an awful lot like a red herring. Thus, in my view it tarnishes the credibility of the entire entry on McFadyen. This gratuitous hyperbolic statement, especially the words "extreme right wing", ought therefore to be omitted.

How would you describe McFadyen's description of Howard Pawley's government. CJCurrie 03:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Both statements are utterly irrelevant and have no place in the entry. You are the one who has chosen to maintain its inclusion. Case in point, Hugh Mcfadyen makes newspaper headlines everyday. You have abitrarily selected this headline. Howard Pawley does not make headlines everyday. Thus, I hereby argue that this short-lived political spat is far more pertinent to any reader if it is written in to Pawley's wikipedia profile; it is at this time notably absent. That said, it may simply be that you have a bone to pick with Mcfadyen and this is your outlet.
