Matthew Vadum has been studying ACORN and its labyrinthine connections, which include Obama’s close advisor
Patrick Gaspard. Gaspard signed a letter identifying himself as a member of the SEIU State Council and the Working Families Party; As Matthew points out, the ACORN website states,
“ACORN members spearhead[ed] formation of the Working Families Party, the first community-labor party with official ballot status in New York state in more than 50 years.”
Additionally, Moe Lane shows that Gaspard continues to assist the WFP in local elections.
American Power has more on the links between ACORN and Obama that point, in Stanley Kurtz’s words, to “a persistent and shared political-ideological alliance.”
And a thirst for power.
Apparently ACORN has just opened up here in Canada. However, there seems to be some confusion about whether it is the same problematic ACORN from the U.S. Apparently the one in Canada has connections with our far-Left party the NDP. Anybody know about ACORN “reaching out” to Canada? What should we watch out for?
You can be sure if something from the Left gets a foothold in Canada, it is almost certain to become institutionalized and within a few years will be dubbed “a national treasure” and the very essence of what it is to be Canadian.

ACORN in Canada is totally separate from the one in the States.
