HAMILTON -- The day after her ignoble defeat at the hands of a Paul Martin cabinet minister on her beloved home turf, Sheila Copps was not going quietly. Defiant but calm, the former minister said she's considering a formal challenge to Transport Minister Tony Valeri's nomination win in Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.
"A lot of these people are really hurting and I owe it to them to explore whatever options are available, and if there are no options, well, that's an option, too," said Copps as she entered a Sikh temple in Stoney Creek to thank supporters.
Copps' campaign received its fatal blow late Saturday night the after weeks of frantic scrounging for votes by both sides.
Party sources said Valeri won by just 311 ballots out of a healthy turnout of 5,313 votes cast.
The woman who once called herself "nobody's baby" said her option include a formal appeal to the party and action through the Canada Elections Act.
The political damage was palpable as the once-loyal Liberal foot soldier cast blame on party brass and Prime Minister Paul Martin's inner circle for manipulating the process.
"When the party takes sides, that's a problem," she said. "When the leadership selectively uses the rules to massage an outcome, that's a problem."
Valeri dismissed the insinuation as "rhetoric" from a vanquished street fighter.
He said Copps' claim that 400 of her supporters who had transferred their memberships to the riding had been left off the voting list by officials of the party's provincial wing was a last-ditch attempt to overcome his support.
"I guess if the margin was 500, she'd pick 600 (as the number of missing forms) -- it's nothing more than rhetoric."
At least 500 of his own supporters had been left off the list for the same reason, he said.
Yesterday, another Martin loyalist won a victory over a Jean Chretien-era foe in the weekend's second bitter Liberal nomination battle.
MP Carolyn Parrish, a Martin supporter, beat Steve Mahoney, a former Chretien cabinet minister, yesterday for the nomination in the newly defined riding of Mississauga-Erindale, just west of Toronto.
Their months-long duel was marked by threats of libel lawsuits and get-out-the-vote contests that mired both sides deep in the political muck churned up by changes in electoral boundaries across the country.
Apperently she's going to the police and asking for an investigation now.
