BWAHAHAHA!!!!
David Emerson is my father's name. I'm glad to say that he's never been a liberal though. Never lived in Canada either.
Just kind of funny to read my dad's name in a FR article.

"Opposition(liberal) Leader Bill Graham told CTV Newsnet that Stronach left the Conservative Party for policy reasons"

Stronach,aka minnie me Hillary, was bought and paid for like the cheap 2 dollar political whore she was/is.

One reporter demanded to know how Emerson could go from knocking on doors and banging in signs for the Liberal Party, to representing the opposition, within only a few weeks I'll bet they did.

I missed something. Checked our subscription data base and ran a word search on the article and could tie neither to California?

"'I fundamentally went through the thought processes many times over, and came to the conclusion I can be more helpful to the people of my riding, the people of my city, the people of my province and the people of my country doing this, as opposed to being in opposition and trying to become a powerful political partisan which I have never been,' Emerson said.
"Emerson said he originally entered politics at the behest of former prime minister Paul Martin. At that time he was not a Liberal, but decided to enter politics to serve the people of his riding.
"He said he would have 'absolutely' stayed on in Paul Martin's cabinet if the former PM had been re-elected."
What's the word? OPPORTUNIST, perhaps?
The PM should tell this wardheeler to urinate on himself.

Sounds like this guy is a bandwagoner who'll be on whatever team is leading.

In case you're interested in Canadian politics, it seems like an OK move to me. I've seen only the sketchiest of bios, but he was apparently CEO of
Canfor:
Canfor is a Canadian, integrated forest products company based in British Columbia. The company has extensive woodlands operations and manufacturing facilities in BC, Alberta and Quebec, and a lumber remanufacturing plant in Washington State. Canfor is a major producer and supplier of lumber, bleached kraft pulp, specialty kraft paper, plywood, and OSB for markets around the world.
Take him at his word, and dump him in the next election if he gets out line. He should know a bit about hidden subsidies in the softwood lumber dispute, and will be able to give Harper any information he needs, if any.

I marvel at the Liberals' hypocrisy in claiming their purchase of Belinda Stronach had nothing to do with politics. It is politics and at least Harper's not pretending Emerson joined his Cabinet out of high minded motives like Martin did.
