... that New Democratic Party strategist Kenneth Bryden introduced the concept of door-to-door election canvassing to Canada?

Article appears to contain some close paraphrasing of the first source. For instance, the sentence "As a provincial legislator, Bryden advocated the creation of the provincial medicare program, which became the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, and also successfully advocated for the province to pay for the construction of the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto, opposed the implementation of a Provincial Sales Tax and drafted a bill to limit election campaign spending" is basically copied from a similar sentence in the source, and a few words/phrases are replaced with synonyms. rʨanaɢ (talk) 17:46, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworked that passage. Is there anything else that needs to be changed? Vale of Glamorgan (talk) 22:08, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
