Murray
Dobbin
In “Writer
Murray Dobbin and the NDP, Why No Disclosure?” Ricardo Rant writes: Columnist
and author Murray Dobbin is a Canadian writer that I find myself reading very
often as his work seems to be just about everywhere... I have two years worth
of Word Warrior talking points to back up my claim of his blind support for the
NDP. Murray would like us attack the other parties while ignoring the plethora
of information that could be said about the NDP both provincially and
federally. With titles like, "The NDP's tax proposals are dead on,"
and "Greens vs. NDP: who's greener?" it is painfully obvious of where
his loyalties are.

of his essays, The Right is Wrong and the Left is Right, was recently
published by the CCPA.
