New Democratic Parry leader Adrian Dix's biography online at Wikipedia, you will find that he is married to a poet, has Type diabetes, is fluently bilingual and served as Glen Clark's chief of staff when Clark was the NDP premier. What you won't find on the ubiquitous user-edited digital encyclopedia is any reference to Dix's darkest days or his biggest admitted mistake, when he falsified a memo in an effort to protect Clark from allegations of conflict of interest.

Or that he was fired for it, or that the memo-writing affair was part of the casino scandal that led to Clark's resignation and paved the way for the Liberal election sweep of 2001. It isn't for lack of trying by a number of Wikipedia users, who have been adding those facts and others to Dix's online biography, even if some of those additions are coloured with political invective. But, for at least the past two years, ever since he became the NDP leader, Dix's biography has been carefully stage-managed by an anonymous group of people who cleanse any negative comment, even if it was cited by credible sources or has been accepted by Dix himself. ml lly Itl Kv3r -iy If I-!
