“It would be nice if we could have 1,000 people … with all the hooting and the hollering that goes with a leadership convention,” said Judy Morrow, a member of the leadership election committee, in a recent interview. “But you have to work with the times and the circumstances that we’re dealing with.”
The winner will take the stage Monday evening at the St. John’s Convention Centre but none of the Liberal caucus will be there. Ball is scheduled to make remarks virtually from Deer Lake, N.L., on the island’s west coast. The Liberals are considering running the show without a teleprompter — and the person required to manage the technology — as a way to find one extra place for a body. Scrutineers and the election auditor will work out of a nearby building.
Thousands more people have signed up to vote compared with the Liberals’ leadership election in 2013, the party says. Close to 10,000 votes had already been cast by Thursday afternoon and 1,000 people were registered to participate in Monday’s virtual annual general meeting. Furey, son of current Senate Speaker George Furey, is widely seen as the front-runner, following public endorsements from the sitting Liberal caucus. The 45-year-old has pledged to create the position of “chief economic recovery officer” to help tackle the province’s fiscal challenges.Article content continued

N.L. Liberals to announce next leader, new premier during atypical convention MondayNewfoundland and Labrador's 14th premier will be announced Monday during an unusual party leadership convention coloured by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hopefully the chosen successor won't be a white man, that would be very racist in this day and age. Both are Laurentian Elite connected Liberals. So nothing will change for NL. 😞😡 As a Newfoundlander now living in Ottawa and a physician myself, I am hoping that the next Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador will be Dr. Andrew Furey ❤🙏

Jets' Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele do not participate in practice - Sportsnet.caNeither Mark Scheifele nor Patrik Laine were participants during the Winnipeg Jets' practice on Sunday, the team announced. Skilled team..small on D. Will suffer greatly on PP entry now. Real and obvious lack of grit showing now. When your Captain, well known scrapper that he isn't, has to answer the bell teams will take physical advantage and that's what playoff hockey seems to require. God dammit. They don’t have the depth to cover these injuries.
