LOL!
What about every thing you've said?
;-)
The media did not make this clear in their reporting. You should have heard Michael Harris (CFRA 580) lambasting Harper, calling him every kind of hypocrite.
It's bothering me too.
They were sucked in by a liberal (Belinda) before,
why do it again?
He's right, he's a hypocrite, plain and simple.
I think if Mr. Emerson were to be like Ms. Stronich he would have to be dating Hillary Clinton AND leave his wife within minutes of crossing the floor. sarc
I tend to judge people in public office more by what they DO than by what they SAY.
IMHO, Harper has acted like the sort who will appoint people to positions that he thinks they can effectively discharge, and if they demonstrate that they cannot, won't leave them there long enough to find need for the bathroom.
The dude's just about to get in the saddle; don't count him as bucked off too soon.
ROFLOL!
I'm not sure what to think ... yet. I'll wait for the justification from Harper. One can't equate this to what Belinda did. While they both ended up on the other side of the floor, I doubt that their means are identical.
My DH makes the same point.
Harper has picked the best person for the job, putting Canada's needs ahead of his parties needs
Indeed, that Harper would not have done this if not for a very good reason, the right reason.
To think that only one year ago I was telling my DH to give Harper a chance! LOL.
Also, he has to dance drunk on a table at an Ottawa night club tonight while billing it to his expense account.
Bwawaaawaaa!
OK, OK!
Oh, I like that!
Thank you, GMMAC!
That's a nice photo of Prime Minister Harper from the government website. According to the website the House of Commons will be called back on April 3.
Toronto today must feel like New York City after President Bush's first inauguration. Most New Yorkers were walking with their heads down, while the usually silent conservative minority was very happy.
Congratulations!
The media is already on the attack. How many times have they remarked on the lack of females?
They (women) make up more one quarter of the cabinet. Craig Oliver on CTV was commenting that proportionally, it's still better than any cabinet the liberals had come up with in that regard.
But I'm glad to see that he didn't put together a 'show cabinet' and attempt to appease every visible minority or fringe group regardless of qualifications, or lack thereof.
To do so would be comparable to Bill Clinton's appointment of Janet Reno just for the sake of having a woman in that post. Harper picked the people best suited for their respective portfolios.
Oh, and Rona Ambrose ain't bad looking either.
Great shot.
Harper must watch his back from the senior civil service. Each one is a liberal and his little fiefdom is threatened by Harper. How to act? Cut the size and scope of government. Less to "fief" over and less to steal from.
Harper is setting up the next election already. It will be Greater Toronto Area vs. the ROC (rest of Canada)
