Heres the list I promised earlier no particular order.
Peggy Nash,I met her after she was eliminated and I gave her a passionate rally!
Nathan Cullen,I happened to notice him behind the bleachers on my way to the washroom talking shop with his campaign manager.I was impressed with his openness and willingness to engage dialogue.I tried to ask him a question about bill C-377(I will talk more on this later)but time would not permitt.Innsuficient data to formulate an opinion at this point.
Thomas Mulcair,I met him in front of his campaign headquarters this morning while waiting for my collegues.He looked down at my name card and addressed me by my first name which impressed me!However this was the first candidate I met today and he caught me offguard so I forgot to ask him any hard questions!?I made it a point the rest of the day to not make this mistake again!
Paul Dewar,I met him soon after Mulcair.I asked him about bill C-377,he made it clear that he was not fully informed of this private members bill but I was impressed with his eagerness to engage and to help me!
David Sparrow vice president members services ACTRA and a well known/accomplished Canadian actor!I was very immpessed with David!We met on the floor and have many goals in common and will be helping each other in the future on different campaigns!
Joe Comartin,met on the floor.This was the guy I was looking for to get the best answers for bill C-377!He quickly informed me he is the NDP MP assigned to shoot this bill down and I will continue working with him !
Linda Duncan,we met several times since we hanged around the same general area on the floor near the Mulcair camp.Aswell we were both frustrated with the voting delays.I came away from our brief talk feeling that she is a good woman!
Rick Mercer,on the floor.He's not that funny in person.
Mark something(I don't know his last name)from this hour has 22 minutes.On the floor.I gave him a tip on something that could be a possible sketch???Their NDP convention sketches will be running this coming Tuesday!
Martin Singh,on the floor.He came over early to support Mulcair and there was no opportunity for discussion.
There was more and if anything sticks out later I will post!!

Other people I met yesterday.
Brian Topp,We met in his campaign headquarters.I went to look for him there when voting for the floor was closed(final ballot) and he was at his desk by himself in the back corner texting.I asked him about bil C-377 and he came right out to tell me he was not imformed.Overall he was pleasant when we talked but he did not immpress me.However I should not look too much into this because this was durring the final ballot between him and Mulcair.He must have had a tremendous amount of pressure.
Don Martin from CTV news,we met on the floor.I did a brief televised interview for him and CTV news about the delays during the third ballot.He is a very good man and a has a good balance between profensionalism and relaxed approachs(sorry this is the best way I can articulate his style at this time)!I was very suprised by him and it would be my pleasure to speak with him again!Aswell I will follow him more now on CTV!
Oh and I forgot to mention Steven Paikin from TVO.He was in a rush and tried to answer a couple of questions but I caught him at a bad time so it would be unfair of me to judge him on this brief meeting
