Bringing down the House that Jack built - Online

I have a new piece up on xtra.ca today, about a local Toronto activist who used to be a big NDP booster who is now campaigning against them.  This wasn't an easy piece to write.  Initially it was to be a look at some of the socially conservative constituencies within the party, like their social gospel roots, but much of that didn't pan out.  Nevertheless, Bochove brings up a point about how the NDP had abandoned the concerns of a core constituency in order to suit the race to become Prime Minister, which none of the other mainstream media has really covered.  Already the comments on the article are accusing Xtra of editorial bias, and of rolling over for the Liberals, and so on, but it was about how a vocal member of the community (and if you follow gay history in Canada, Bochove is a significant figure) feels betrayed, with the party responding.  But accusations of media bias seem to be the norm when covering politics for any medium, so I guess I've just joined the club.
