Pat Martin Biography

Pat Martin is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 13, 1955 in Winnipeg, Canada. Patrick D. “Pat” Martin (born 13 December 1955, in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is an Canadian politician from Canada. Martin was a member in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 until

2015. He was as a representative of the riding from Winnipeg Centre for the New Democratic Party.

He backed Bill Blaikie for the NDP the leadership position in 2002-03.

In 2010, while Youth For Christ was in the development stages of building a youth centre at the corner of Higgins and Main that would include a multi- sport gym, dance studio, fitness centre, skate-and-BMX park, drop-in centre, theatre, classroom, counselling facilities and a job-training centre, Martin stated that the social-service organization were “evangelical fundamentalists” who were “preying on vulnerable kids” and that the organization “offering much-needed sports opportunities is just their way of luring in young prospects.” Martin also stated that the Federal government and City of Winnipeg providing funding to the inner city development equated to “taxpayer- funded proselytization.” An article by the Winnipeg Free Press Editorial Board stated that if “the MP believes [Youth For Christ] should not receive any taxpayer money because he faithfully believes the organization is trying to convert “vulnerable, impressionable kids” to fundamentalist Christian views. If the good parliamentarian has any evidence to support his allegations, he should produce it immediately, or withdraw his comments.” One week after criticising the organization and facing mounting criticism, Martin said he supported the development at Higgins and Main by stating that “Anything happening in the inner city is better than nothing.”

Upon revelations about the robocall scandal in February, Martin publicly accused Racknine of being behind the automated calls that saw voters misdirected to non-existent polling locations during the May 2011 federal election. Racknine filed a defamation lawsuit for $5 million in damages. Martin ended up settling the defamation lawsuit against him and publicly apologized and stated that RackNine was “merely an innocent intermediary not a participant in electoral fraud”. Due to the costs awarded to Racknine, Martin received a loan from the NDP and accepted donations from unions to help fund his defamation suit and pay for the settlement. Documents filed with the federal ethics commissioner showed Martin accepted contributions to a legal defence fund from the Canadian Labour Congress, the United Steelworkers and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and 14 other unions or locals.

He requested Svend Robinson to be exiled from the portfolio of foreign affairs for the NDP in 2002, following Robinson’s questionable visit to Palestinian Authority.
