First, I’d like to thank all the people who took a moment to drop me a line over the past few hours, and those who have come by and left a comment here. Mostly I’d like to thank the five volunteers who showed up tonight in Milton to help Sharon and Esther unpack all the stuff that arrived from the outgoing Halton MP’s office. Boy, having more than one second-hand computer and a geriatric printer is going to be sweet.
Speaking of offices, after today I’m expecting the Whip will be assigning me a renovated washroom somewhere in a forgotten corner of a vermin-infested dank basement in Ottawa. That should go well with my seat in the House of Commons that will be visible only during lunar eclipses.
Uh-huh. That kind of a day. This one MP came face-to-face with the party machine in a series of unhappy meetings including one tonight with the prime minister. I think it is now safe to say my career options within the Conservative caucus are seriously limited. If you would like a course on how not to be popular in Ottawa, then take a seat.
I have written here many times over the past few months about my journey to become an MP again, and why I wanted to return to Ottawa. It was not to be a minister with a limo, but, as I explained, to try and empower elected people more, to make them relevant and free, so the voters would also become more empowered. And I campaigned to advance issues my middle class voters are so concerned with – things those families need and want.
But, I arrived as the prime minister was appointing a floor-crossing Liberal and an unelected party official to his cabinet, which seemed to fly in the face of everything I had told voters about accountability and democracy. It also made me question the whole process, after eight months of knocking on doors to win my coveted seat in this magnificent stone building on the banks of the Rideau.
Going from door to door turns a politician into a democrat. At least, it did for me. By the time I got to Parliament Hill, I was infused with the spirit of a new era in government, sated on the belief we would see freedom reign in the Chamber and that the days of subjugation of MPs by the prime minster’s office were numbered. I had swallowed with gusto promises of more free votes, more powerful committees of free-thinking MPs, more listening to the voters, and an elected and responsible Senate.
And, most importantly, I had taken that to the people. Change. The election was about change. I asked people in Halton to embrace the Conservatives as a modern, inclusive, mainstream, principled party of honest people committed to changing the system for the better. Finally. Something worth knocking on doors for in the dark and the cold. Something to believe in. Something to run for. Something on the Hill worth coming back for with a passion.
Sure, I thought the appointment of those two ministers was questionable. And after stating many a time that Belinda Stronach should have sought a by-election after her defection, how could I not say the same obvious thing now? It was simple for my constitutents to understand, and simple for me. I did not seek the microphones out, but when they were under my nose and a clear question was asked, I gave a clear answer.
Everybody who makes up the government should be elected. They should be elected as members of the party that forms the government. Anybody who switches parties should go back to the people. To do otherwise is to place politicians above the people when, actually, it’s the other way around.
But my comments were deemed not helpful, even though I chose them carefully and pulled some punches, suggesting Minister Emerson be given a little time before deciding on whether or not to get elected as a Tory.
Did I know the potential consequences of speaking my mind, or sticking with the principles that brought me to this cold hill? Yeah, I did. I have been an MP before, and a leadership candidate and a cabinet minister. I have the hide to prove it. I know the PMO has a song sheet it wants all caucus members to sing from, and I know what happens when an individual chooses to go his or her own way. I was just hoping this time I would not be asked to choose – between party and principle.
I chose principle. My deepest loyalty is to what I believe, what I told the voters and what I want Parliament to become. The Emerson affair may indeed blow over. The minister may decide not to take the heat. David may turn into a cabinet star and a national asset. But he should still have the conviction to get elected a member of the team he chose. The same team that I chose, and fought like a warrior to join, helped by hundreds more and supported by tens of thousands of others. How could any member of caucus not privately feel the same?
A few nights ago, I made some pledges here. I pledged to remember that my job is not to serve the party or the prime minister, but rather the people who sent me here. I pledged to work to enhance the position of MP, because when that happens, the voters win. I pledged to share my MP’s power with you every way I could, and to speak up for middle class Canadians.
That voice may be a little fainter now, coming from that forgotten basement washroom office, but, dammit, it won’t quit.

I invite any Canadian Conservatives to come over to the Liberals and create and honest and accountable government

And the anger keeps mounting
Graham Thomson of the Journal put it well!!
Here is his comment from Graham Thomson's Blog:
SUBJECT: Outrage, what outrage? Perhaps I’m just getting too cynical...but I’m finding it difficult to muster much outrage at Stephen Harper’s cabinet appointments this week.
Yes, I was as surprised as anyone over David Emerson’s hypocritical jump to the Conservatives — especially since he was presented as a Liberal poster boy during the election campaign in British Columbia.
And I had to stifle a guffaw when Harper appointed Michael Fortier to the Senate to sit as a non-elected member of cabinet. That one move managed to make a mockery of Senate reform and responsible government.
People are rightly angered at the hypocrisy of it all (Liberal supporters in Vancouver-Kingsway must be ready to toss Emerson into Coal Harbor).
So, where’s my outrage?
I’m not sure. Perhaps I’ve misplaced it after 25 years as a journalist. Or maybe it’s been worn to the nub after reporting on this kind of thing so many times in the past.
Remember Reform Leader Preston Manning in 1993?
He promised a new era of cleaner more responsible politics — Reformers wouldn’t accept the gold-plated MPs pension plan. They wouldn’t fly business class. Manning said Reformers would never settle into Stornoway and he actually held a photo-op to hand back the keys to his limo.
Manning and Reformers such as Deb Grey broke every one of those promises.
The Liberals, of course, are masters at political sleight-of-hand.
Jean Chretien famously promised to scrap the GST — and infamously never did.
There are all kinds of other examples, too numerous and ponderous to mention here, of politicians putting expediency before principle.
I suppose there is a silver lining here: For all those afraid Harper has a hidden agenda to do things radically different, he has shown he’s just like all the rest.
In a bizarre way, that reaffirms my faith in politicians. As long as they’re willing to do what it takes to stay in power at the federal level, they’ll never do anything radical.
Maybe that’s why I can’t muster any outrage.
Or perhaps it's because I have high expectations for members of Harper's cabinet such as Rona Ambrose and Tony Clement.
Hmm, maybe I'm not as cynical as I like to think.

I expect the Conservation popularity to hit below 20% soon!

The people are mad!!
Since Stephen Harper took the oath to be PM, the Canadian Public are critical of his choices for cabinet..

2 Ontario reps are under question for their histories.
The Vancouver minister who crossed the floor is risng consternation.
The Montreal Senator in Cabinet is not accountable to the Commons.
We have a major downward spin on the CONservatives all right!

Arsenal defeat Birmingham City
Alberta: 2 provinces in 1 that should be split in 2
Alberta is a province with an identity crisis. The NOrth is intellectual and booming. The South are full of hicking hillbillies and arid. This province should be split in 2. Everything north on the David Thompson highway with the exception of Jim Keegstra's Eckville should be the dividing line so that the intellectual to North can be separated from the hillbillie South. Everyone wins out.
Conservatives and Liberals ready to go head to head
PM Stephen Harper to take up office 6 Feb 2006. Canada has a hung parliament and it may not be easy for the new CONservative to lead. IF the budget is a deficit budget, Canada will go tothe poll over that issue!!
Liberal Leadership : The rules are not laid out yet 4 people are not seeking the leadership 'officially' .

Arsenal Football Team are headed to Saint Andrew's in Birmingham. There they will play against Relegation candidates Birmingham City. Arsenal has to do much better than previously! An Everton 1 Arsenal 0 result is a shaming disgrace especially when Everton was a relegation candidate. I still hope Everton is forever caught in a relegation spiral. Same with Birmingham City! And then Arsenal's exit for the League Cup was humiliating!! 2 -1 win at ighury yet Wigan advances 1 - 0 on away goals. IRING!! Then the Bolton 1 Arsenal 0 in FA Cup Round 4. ARGH!!!! The Cup holders bowing out early!! FUME!!! So back to the EPL and Highbury. We should win against West Ham. WRONG!! Arsenal 2 West Ham 3 and Sol Campbell is bows out!! Birm C vs Arsenal as arsenal.co.uk sees it. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!! WIN!! WIN!! WIN!!
When will the first David Tennant Season Start
We are awaiting word from BBC and CBC. Hopefully the Autumn and that the CBC will still have the budget to pay BBC (whichever) to keep DW on air.
Why Autumn?
In Canada, the National Hockey League will take precedent on CBC. When the NHL had labour dispute, the CBC did use Doctor Who to fill in the time. Which will win out ?? Hockey playoffs or Doctor Who? NHL IMHO.
In the UK, the World Cup of Football is up and coming.
Come along mates. Autumn it should be.

Perl 5.8.8 and MailScanner
PErl 5.8.8 default from hints/bsdos.sh works. The Threads fails on the B side. I must wonder why.
MailScanner is working like a charm.
PureFTPD does wonders.
BSD/OS 4.3.1 still lives.

Got your prosperity cheque yet
In Alberta, prosperity cheques are coming to the door of every registered taxpaying Albertan. Will you save yours or invest it?
The Liberal Leadership Race is on
Paul Martin said he does not want to lead the Liberals into the next election.
What happens if the Stephen Harper's Conservatives fall within 6 months?? Only time will tell.
Still There are some good name and then there are those not to trust!!
Good names: Frank McKenna , former New Brunswick Premier ,
and Michael Ignatief, MP Etibocoke Lakeshore.
Under the BAD category:
Those who want to destroy Canada's Identity: Brian Tobin and John Manely. IF either of these 2 every won the Leadership, I would tear up my card AND form another political Party That BELIEVE in CORE Canadian Traditions and Values, God Save The Queen!!
Floor crossers like Scot Brisson, Keith Martin and Belinda Stronach. At this point in time, there loyalty is dubious. They need to show , when a next Liberal Government comes along, that they can be worthy.
I hope every Monarchist League Member in Canada does sign up for a Liberal Membership. Will the Conservtives under Harper DARE advocate a Republic? In which case the Monarchist League of Canda are welcome to take memberships out in the Liberal Party of Canana and fight on with us .
