We know how much he thinks all Liberals are scum and that anyone that does not agree with him is stupid/limited/ignorant in some manner, so the idea of only listening to reps his party appoints from his own party instead of the opposition MPs duly elected for specific ridings is alas perfectly consistent.<BR/><BR/>I'll be updating my post at Saundrie on this issue later today thanks to this additional info CC, I'd do it now but I have to head out very soon.Scotianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284856315992405261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-59527813161875169542007-08-29T11:24:00.000-04:002007-08-29T11:24:00.000-04:00THANK you for that link, JJ!I've sent it to The Cu...THANK you for that link, JJ!<BR/><BR/>I've sent it to The Current, at the CBC, telling them they HAVE to cover this. When I get home today I'll send it to more news departments there, as well as start bugging other news outlets.<BR/><BR/>This HAS to get out!<BR/><BR/>This is our Diebold, it would seem.

Now I wish I had kept the letter I got two weeks ago from the Cons.<BR/><BR/>I'm in Toronto Centre, and the letter said that since Bill Graham had retired, our liaison would now be a Con MP. I don't remember the name (her name?), but I believe it was the Con party Whip.<BR/><BR/>I remember being extremely irritated, thinking, "Even if I don't have a sitting MP at the moment, do you think for a <I>second</I> I'll be going to a <B>CON</B> for help if I need it??" I'd be getting in touch with Stephane Dion or, more likely since I'm in Toronto, Jack Layton.<BR/><BR/>I had no idea they were doing this even to people who <I>have</I> sitting MPs!<BR/><BR/>So I guess you can count this as a fourth. With the disclaimer that in this case, they can claim they have a plausible excuse.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847701912261320347noreply@blogger.com
