LOL.

She will never be a Conservative, and our side wouldn't accept her even if she wanted in.

She was loyal to Jean Chretien, and was bumped out of her Hamilton riding by Martin when he took the reins of the
Liberal party.

Okay, thanks for explaining. I had no idea who she was.

FYI, 'Liberal democracy? Ha!' By SHEILA COPPS and my related letter to the red-Tory Toronto Sun which went unpublished:

The Editor,
The Toronto Sun

While claiming to champion 'democracy', Sheila Copps' Wednesday column ('Liberal democracy? Ha!') hit the trifecta in nailing down the principal Liberal tenets of racism, sexism and hypocrisy.

Whining that a 'white male', Michael Ignatieff, is being imposed as the Grits' standard bearer in a Riding until of late held by Jean Augustine, a 'black women', captures the first two nicely. Ignoring that Augustine was similarly imposed on Etobicoke-Lakeshore voters back in 1993 by Copps' de facto godfather Jean Chrétien, completes the triple play.

Added insurance comes from the assumption throughout that an elite anti-Ukrainian bigot, who happens to be a white male, is somehow far more reprehensible than an also arbitrarily appointed black female whose political testament consists of acting as a vocal apologist for NAC and habitually voting against the moral teachings of her professed Church.

Sincerely,
