Handy Peter Kent (Thornhill) controversy index

A Toronto candidate seems to be increasingly accident prone. Peter Kent's (CPC candidate in Thornhill) proposed expanding private health care at a debate, forcing Stephen Harper to respond. (News story: Peter Kent wants more private medicare).

This shortly after he had a commercial blow up in his face. Peter Kent, who was once a CTV journalist, ended up having CTV deny that Pamela Wallen and Lloyd Robertson had endorsed him, after he released a video featuring them and implying otherwise (and here).

Given the proliferation of Peter Kent stories, I thought it would be useful to bring them all into one post.

A few weeks ago Dawg and I had a series of questions after it had become clear that Kent had served in various capacities with the anti-Muslim group, the Canadian Coalition for Democracies (on which see here and here and here):

• Dawg: Ten questions for Peter Kent, CPC candidate for Thornhill
  
• Buckets: An eleventh question for Peter Kent (CPC candidate Thornhill)
• Buckets: A twelfth question for Peter Kent: do Guelph students deserve to have their freedoms extinguished?
  
• Dawg: Quotations from Peter Kent's CCD (13th)

Perhaps related to Peter Kent's relation to CCD:

• his radical proposal to the Israeli-Palestinian situation: A three state solution.
  
• CCD's odd support for the call that a Supreme Court Chief Justice be impeached over the Morgentaler award.

(I'll add to this if more stories appear that I missed.)

An eleventh question for Peter Kent (CPC candidate Thornhill)

The learned Dr. Dawg has Ten questions for Peter Kent, CPC candidate for Thornhill concerning his relationship with the anti-Muslim group, Canadian Coalition for Democracies. Now that we have seen that Peter Kent served as a Director of that group and on its Executive Committee in 2006, more questions arise.

• Are you presently a member of the Canadian Coalition of Democracies? If so, what is your official function within the group? Are you still a Director?
  

Other questions for Peter Kent (updated):

• Ten questions for Peter Kent, CPC candidate for Thornhill
  
• An eleventh question for Peter Kent (CPC candidate Thornhill)


• A twelfth question for Peter Kent: do Guelph students deserve to have their freedoms extinguished?

Peter Kent (Toronto Thornhill), senior member of the Canadian Coalition of Democracies

The Conservative candidate in Toronto Thornhill is a "senior member" of the Canadian Coalition of Democracies.

The evidence?  In an article in the Toronto Star, January 08, 2007 (quoted on the CCD's own web-page):

To promote what Raghubeer called "a robust foreign policy that deals with the world as it has changed in the post-9/11 era," the Canadian Coalition for Democracies formed in 2003.

Senior members include broadcaster and former Conservative candidate Peter Kent and David Harris, former chief of strategic planning for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The group is multi-ethnic and multi-religious, said Raghubeer, whose family came to Canada in 1984 as refugees from the former British Guyana, now Guyana.

More to come.

H/t Dr Dawg.
