E-30 -- Party Web Watch: NDP Streams Live Rally
I'm not sure this has ever been tried before in Canadian federal politics, so I thought it might be worth grabbing a few screenshots of the NDP's live streaming of their "Rally4Change" in Toronto.
The event was held on Saturday September 13, at the Heritage Court on the CNE Grounds in Toronto, to showcase Layton's ethnically-diverse "Ontario Team" of candidates and show off the party's organizational prowess. Clearly the party is trying to mimic the kind of event made famous by the campaign of Barack Obama south of the border.
Layton's speech attacked Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper for "going behind the backs" of Canadians to give special deals to the oil companies, and chided Toronto Liberal MPs for "hiding behind the curtains" during 43 confidence votes in the House of Commons.
The live webcast attracted as many as 197 viewers, and ran from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. Here are some screenshots ....

"Layton's speech attacked Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper for "going behind the backs" of Canadians"
Unfortunate choice of words for this week, as he also went behind our backs in trying to stop us from hearing a passionate voice about the environment and the Green Party platform. Layton should lay off the behind our backs for a while.
Hi ch, Thanks for your comment.
I'm sure other readers may want to engage you in this debate, but I'm really just trying to cover all the technical aspects of campaign strategy here.
If you learn of other online activities that should be covered at the Pundits' Guide, please do get in touch.
Thanks for reading!
