Profiles in Courage: Mo Elsalhy
Mo Elsahy - Definitely provided the most detail in his answers and seems very detail oriented. In his talks he always referred to retail examples since he was a pharmacist; This makes it easy to follow. I liked him a lot as a person to speak to but because of his age and the fact he is not a sitting member, he will have a difficult time to be selected.
David Swann - Speaks really well on health issues since he is a doctor and used to run one of the health regions. His problem is that he looks and talks too much like Stephane Dion. He seems to have charm, and had lots of people wearing his buttons in the room. He seems comfortable in a crowd and was at ease with all the questions, although he spoke mostly in generalities.
Dave Taylor - Being a radio personality shows for "presence". He certainly has the image needed for a leader in Alberta. He had a really detailed "renewal" plan that he didn't have time to go over in detail, but he talked well about being inclusive and bringing people in to the party. I can see he would do better with media than the others.
And with that said, we're off to profile number 2 - Mo!
History: Mo moved to Alberta from Egypt in 1990 and made a career for himself in Edmonton as a pharmacist (Mo will cure what ails the ALP!). He gained fame as a "giant killer" by defeating former "giant killer" Mark Norris in the 2004 election. However, as Edmonton McClung adores killing giants, they bounced Mo from office this spring.
Federal Equivalent: As much as I hate to compare him to another visible minority, Navdeep Bains would be the MP that comes to mind when thinking of Mo.
Rejected Slogan: “Mo – everybody’s favourite stooge”
A Headline Writer’s Dream Candidate: “Liberals seize MO-mentum”, “Mo problems for Liberals”, etc…
Renewal Plan: Mo has set targets for making the party debt free and for growing the membership but has released few details on how to get there. He's also talked about the opposition parties only fielding one candidate per riding in the hope of getting a majority in the Legislature that could ram through PR.
Surprise Endorsement: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation gives Mo a "B" grade.
Website Advice: The site is functional but, for good or bad, doesn't have a "campaign feel" to it. The biggest problem is that there is no donation link on the main page...you have to put a lot of effort into finding out how exactly you can give Mo your money.
Strengths: Mo has done a great job at engaging young people through his "Mocha with Mo"get togethers.
Strategy: Sign up a ton of new members and try to run the table in Redmonton.
Can He Win? If Dave Taylor is the Jim Dinning of this campaign and David Swann is the Ted Morton, then Elsalhy will certainly try to repeat the feat of his fellow Edmonton candidate, Ed Stelmach. If he can sign up enough new members, Mo could surprise.
My Thoughts: I'll admit I don't know Mo as well as the other candidates, although I had a good chat with him at an ALP lunch in Calgary a few years ago after he was first elected. He was genuinely excited to be fighting for the issues he felt were important and his energy has yet to diminish since then. As a leader, he'd be new, fresh, and different from anything the Alberta Liberals have offered Albertans before.

I hear he is about to receive an official endorsement from the 'vominator'...
By eh, at 3:11 p.m.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation does not endorse any candidate or party at any level.
We made that clear in our news release and in the document.

geez Scott Lighten up.

I was at Egmont as well and I thought all 3 candidates were fine.
It was my first chance to see Mo and he seemed fine, nice guy, smart but not leadership guy.
Swann: his attraction totally escapes me, if we want to appeal to the centre, picking a guy to the left of Hugo Chavez does not seem like a good move. Sure a very decent and honorable guy but someone who says "as the Hopi Elder said" in his speech is not gonna appeal to the majority of Albertans.
Dave Taylor, well I am supporting him so of course you can look at what I said before in that light.

Ugh, I really should read what I've written before I post. I meant to say that there's NOW a paypal donation link on Mo's homepage.
Sorry :S

For what it's worth, Mo was the first boss I ever had, back at the wolf willow pharmacy when I was 15 years old. He's one of the hardest working, nicest people I've ever met, and he's probably one of the most dedicated politicians and Albertans on the planet.
By Anonymous, at 1:25 p.m.
I met Mo in Red Deer and asked him that very question about not having a seat. He wasn't offended and told me he was one of very few Liberal incumbents and candidates whose vote actually improved since 2004. I checked, he actually got more votes than Dave Taylor and more than half of the current caucus members! He also said he was pissed and wanted to avenge the entire party's loss, not just his. The guy is certainly motivated and inventive and will have no problem winning his seat back and many more alongside it.
And as far as age goes, I heard him indicate that this is the same age Brad Wall in Sask., Stephen Harper federally and even Peter Lougheed right here in Alberta led their respectiv parties to victory. Is it impossible for someone like him to pull it off for us as well?
We all watched the democrats in the US and wondered.... Here's our opportunity, Mo would be a fresh start for us and I agree with the comment, he would represent something we've never done before. We elect him and Albertans will be forced to take a look at us.
By Anonymous, at 7:44 p.m.
yeah, we love Obama from a distance but some within our ranks really don't want a local one here, some would pick the Alberta version of Stephane Dion and some would pick a guy that's even colder than Kevin Taft just because they liked his deep radio voice. I find Taylor fake and egocentric and don't trust the people around him. I find Dr. Swann, whom I like as an individual, risky and unpredictable. Either way, we risk getting fewer seats next time. Mo should be able to come up the middle, he better.
By Anonymous, at 8:02 p.m.
you compare Mo to Navdeep but you don't tell us whether you like Navdeep or not!
