Ironically, when he told campaign workers his plans, they tried to bribe him with lavish meals, a job and expensive booze.

Priceless...

[cripplecreek]

Don't you mean "stinking" ship?

[lilylangtree]

Better late than never. Or, is it just a ruse to infiltrate the conservative party?

[sarasota]

They must be using the George Soros playbook.

[Dimez Apart]

Pretty bad time to infiltrate. You want to do that while your on top. Not very smart, sending your Black Women senator to the conservatives when your slipping down under the opposition in all the polls. It signals to women and blacks that liberals are not the only choice. Anyone else see a 'Conservative' revolution coming?

[headsonpikes]

Wow! The Libs are sinking fast - no one wants to be seen voting for them.

Perfect!

Ann Cools has made quite the political evolution - from leftist radical at Sir George Williams to Conservative Senator! I certainly respect her.

Ought to post this one to Lonely Planet's discussion boards. "In Canada and need some free booze? Simply find the local liberal party HQ, walk in, and tell them you're preparing to vote conservative. The liquor will be flowing in no time!"

I'm amazed by what's going on in Canada. From what I had heard this is totally unforseen. Great work.

[mewzilla]

Maybe the Oil For Food thing is about to hit the fan up there.

Democrat precinct worker:

Don't doze bums up in the Nort' realize that dem daze is gone! Now we ply dem losers with loosies and cartoons of "Newports". Why, I ain't given a panhandler a bottle of "Thunderbird" liquor since Kennedy ran back in '80!

[AmericanChef]

I'd say this why today's Republican party is full of socialist wimps. Too many jumped ship. Ruse or no, they bring their leftyism with 'em.

[Clint Williams]

I found the Liberal campaign to be morally bankrupt

Gosh! Who could have predicted that?!

[Wilhelm Tell]

Wonderful news. It is so nice to hear about people having courage and acting decently. I hope the Conservatives can save Canada from the crooks and socialists, but I repeat myself...

I have been impressed with her for a long time now; I think she's a classic example of a really smart woman who drifted away from socialism as she matured. I saw this coming when she launched her campaign to overhaul the way the family court system deals with divorced parents- when I learned about that it became obvious that she wouldn't toe the party line.

[Saundra Duffy]

"I decided to switch because I found the Liberal campaign to be morally bankrupt,"

Duh.

[swampfox98]

Send him to America, we need all the conservatives we can get.

[MadIvan]

It would be so lovely if Canada elected a Conservative government and joined America, the UK, and Australia in the grand alliance.

Sounds like this set of liberals didn't go that extra (but, neccessary) step of making sure they had enough dirt on everyone involved in the party, so that they wouldn't even think of jumping ship.
