If you recall when Belinda Stronach croseed the floor to join the Liberal Party, some members of the now governing party went as far as to call her a whore. Now that David Emerson did the same thing, he's apparently standing up for Canada.
The Conservatives need to practice what they preach in order to win a majority, as a Liberal, I am more then happy to watch the Conservatives implode before they even sit in the House of Commons, as a Canadian though, I am sad to see another example to why we have a cynical electorate.
Garth Turner is being reprimanded for speaking his mind, yet the Conservatives wanted to restore the voice of MPs in Parliament, where is that freedom? Will it exist when policies such as revoking the right to Same-Sex Marriage, and eventually abortion come back to the table, or the Conservatives force their MPs to follow the party line.
Stephen Harper said Canadians voted for change, well Canadians are asking him, where's the change?
Maybe we would have been better off with another Liberal Minority... at least we know where they stand.
Or maybe we should just start calling Emerson a whore...

Tory Trouble
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1845&ncid=1845&e=1&u=/cpress/20060209/ca_pr_on_na/emerson_fallout
It appears that the Tories are already in trouble and they have yet to even sit in parliament. the noble constituents of our new governing party are outraged at the party switching that was done by former Liberal Industry Minister (and now Conservative Cabinet Minister) David Emerson.
Can the Conservative Caucus survive this sort of infighting, what happens when debates over serious policy start to begin? Time will tell, but at the moment things are not looking good for the new government.
Stephen Harper needs caucus discipline if he intends to last longer a year.

Harper's Hypocrasy
Oh me, oh my, its politcal hypocrasy rearing its ugly head in Ottawa, surprised? I'm not. But he, don't blame me, I voted for the other guy (which one you'll know later).

Harper said, regarding the appointments "If you look carefully at what I said in the election campaign, I did leave open that possibility.." could someone point us to these statements? I'll kindly give Harper credit if he said that and no picked up on that, but the media was reading the Conservative talking points as if they were commandments from God.
Ok, Canada's changed, we've had our break with the Conservatives, can we go back to the Liberals now please? At least we knew what we got with the devil we knew.
