Because that's different, that's why.


Blogging Tory, Boy Detective and female bodily fluid authority Steve Janke is all about the law and legal shit and stuff like that:

Elizabeth May has made her call for Green Party voters to cast their votes for the Liberals or the NDP in order to guarantee a win for the Liberal Party and Stephane Dion.

This move has been widely predicted.

But now there is a rumour is that in exchange for influencing the votes of Green Party supporters, Elizabeth May would be appointed a Senator by Stephane Dion, then brought into cabinet as environment minister.

Elizabeth May is denying everything. Of course she is. Someone probably introduced her to Section 481 of the Canada Elections Act.

This appalling breech of political ethics is, of course, totally, totally not the same as Stephen Harper appointing the unelected Michael Fortier to the Senate or bribing former Liberal David Emerson to cross the floor by rewarding him with a cabinet post as Minister of International Trade. Because it isn't. So there.
